[SoofsLab @StaySoof]

The Norwegian fans may be rowing home on the baggage carousel... 🚣🇳🇴😂
But what a World Cup you gave us. You brought color, passion, smiles and unforgettable moments wherever you went. ❤️
And your team... thank you for the football and the memories. It was a joy to watch. Safe travels, Vikings! 🇳🇴👏

Thi is what journalistic integrity looks like. Thak you, Scott Pelley. #60Minutes

[Dylan Byers @DylanByers]

New statement from Scott Pelley:

There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.

The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.

“60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.

The waste is heartbreaking.

Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.

For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.

At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.

I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.

Yes, finally!

A federal judge ordered the Kennedy Center to remove President Donald Trump’s name from the building, saying only an act of Congress can change the venue’s name.

The East Village/St. Marks Place has lost its soul. Ugh.

[evgrieve @evgrieve]

The Sephora sign arrived today at the all-new 1 St. Mark’s Place & 3rd Avenue.

Not too long ago along here, you could get 5 shots of anything for $10 (then $12).

Welcome to the team, Fatman!! 🤣🤣 @Commanders

The only quote that matters from the 2026 draft, courtesy of Commanders 6th-rd. RB Kaytron Allen:

“I was a fat baby and everybody in the town called me Fatman. Hopefully I keep it going in Washington and they call me Fatman and, you know, when I score all you hear is Fatman.”

[Oui Wong @ouilicious]

@FatouSadio REALLY want to see this one.

One year ago today, Alex Ovechkin broke Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record with his 895th career goal! 🤯

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

No president in modern history has used the office to enrich himself the way Donald Trump has. That's not a political opinion. It’s the conclusion of ethics watchdogs who have spent their careers watching this stuff.

The crypto ventures. The foreign deals with the Saudis, the Qataris, the Emiratis. The $400 million Qatari jet. The $90 million in media settlements. The gold golf balls from the Japanese.

This is the man who told you he was going to clean up Washington.

For this President, the presidency isn’t about protecting our democracy or the public trust. It’s about turning the highest office in the land into a personal cash register, and he’s been doing it from day one.

[David Sirota @davidsirota]

I get that this is an unpopular view but:

We need more journalists & fewer pundits.

We need more original reporting & fewer hot takes riffing off the news.

We don't have this because reporting takes work and is difficult & pontificating on YouTube is lazy & easy.

War is an especially important time to be able to trust the things that the president says.
