Wild commentary from Jennifer Welch on MSNBC.
"JD Vance is married to a woman of Indian descent. He has mixed race children. So to all of the MAGA voters out there, if this man will not defend his wife and will not defend his kids, do you think he gives a crap about you?"

"I know there will be a time when I have to stop touring, but music will still be my thing. I’ll have to think in terms of what I can do. I don’t want to end my life just being a rock 'n' roll star. Maybe I can go into record production or I’ll still write songs—because one might not have the physical fitness to run around on stage, but you can still write songs. So, one way or another the music side is always going to be in my life."

"In the shows, each member of the band would have their solo moment. When it was Brian’s guitar solo time, for the rest of them it was time to take a break: Roger would come down off his riser and into the Dolls House for a rest, a drink and maybe a hit of oxygen. Fred would be relaxing in there too, removing his shirt, towelling down, changing outfit, taking refreshment and then having a suck on a Strepsils antiseptic throat lozenge. John would stroll off, take the cigarette I had lit for him and go behind his speakers for a quick puff, pausing only to throw peanuts at Brian’s hair, who would be lost somewhere in his extended solo."

Elizabeth Taylor’s speech at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert on April 20, 1992, at Wembley Stadium.
"Don’t worry. I’m not going to sing. We are here to celebrate the life of Freddie Mercury, an extraordinary rock star who rushed across our cultural landscape like a comet shooting across the sky. We are here also to tell the whole world that he, like others we have lost to AIDS, died before his time. The bright light of his talent still exhilarates us even now that his life has been so cruelly extinguished. It needn’t have happened. It shouldn’t have happened. Please, let’s not let it happen again."
She then continued with a strong message on AIDS prevention, urging the audience to use condoms and protect themselves, ending with:
"You are the future of our world. You are the best and the brightest. You are the shining light that will illuminate a better world tomorrow. Protect yourselves."

BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:
“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.
And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.
We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”
What CBS just did to Scott Pelley is an absolute disgrace. After 37 years of integrity, the network fired a broadcast legend simply because he refused to put flat-out lies into a story to please the administration. CBS corporate owners wanted a submissive newsroom that scripts lies on command, so they threw one of America's most trusted journalists to the wolves for choosing the truth over a corporate paycheck.
But here is the massive difference between a billionaire-backed network and our independent community: they can never fire us. We don't answer to boardrooms, media barons, or corporate sponsors—we answer only to you, which means our reporting is completely fireproof.

This is a devastating interview.
Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.
Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.
Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.
According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.
Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.
Then came the admission.
"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."
A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.
That's a remarkable accusation.
