As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:
"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.
Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.
In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.
Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.
The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.
To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

Snowshoe Resort Community District, WV fires Timothy Loehmann, killer of child #TamirRice. This took place by a unanimous Board vote following an executive session and apparent public outcry. #JusticeForTamir https://t.co/HeOfmjw6YZ
.@VivekGRamaswamy is truly a sick individual. Indifferent to childhood sexual abuse and contemptuous if victims and survivors of such abuse. He cannot be entrusted with power.
Vivek Ramaswamy mocking his Democratic opponent, Amy Action, for being sexually abused as a child is one of the most disgusting attacks I’ve ever seen from a politician.
"Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine denounced [Vivek Ramaswamy's] gubernatorial campaign ad. 'I told her to issue the health order. The decision was mine.'"

.@VivekGRamaswamy has no good values. He’s indifferent to human suffering. He’s selfish and entitled. He’s contemptible beyond measure. Listen to this. He’s mocking Dr. Amy Acton’s childhood experience of sexual assault. Could he be more evil? I'm truly ashamed of this lowlife.
Ohio Gov. candidate Vivek Ramaswamy claims that his opponent Amy Acton is running on “complaining about what someone else did to her,” referring to Acton sharing the story of her sexual abuse as a child
That's it. That's the best picture from Saturday's No Kings protests in the USA.
The literal Statue of Liberty being detained by police. It doesn't get much more poetic than this.
🚨 Brown University researchers tested what happens when ChatGPT acts as your therapist. Licensed psychologists reviewed every transcript.
They found 15 ethical violations.
Not 15 small issues. 15 violations of the standards that every human therapist in America is legally required to follow. Standards set by the American Psychological Association. Standards that can end a therapist's career if they break them.
ChatGPT broke all of them.
The researchers tested OpenAI's GPT series, Anthropic's Claude, and Meta's Llama. They had trained counselors use each chatbot as a cognitive behavioral therapist. Then three licensed clinical psychologists reviewed the transcripts and flagged every violation they found.
Here is what they found.
ChatGPT mishandled crisis situations. When users expressed suicidal thoughts, it failed to direct them to appropriate help. It refused to address sensitive issues or responded in ways that could make a crisis worse.
It reinforced harmful beliefs. Instead of challenging distorted thinking, which is the entire point of therapy, it agreed with the distortion.
It showed bias based on gender, culture, and religion. The responses changed depending on who was talking. A therapist would lose their license for this.
And then there is the finding the researchers gave a name: deceptive empathy. ChatGPT says "I see you." It says "I understand." It says "that must be really hard." It uses every phrase a real therapist would use to build trust. But it understands nothing. It comprehends nothing. It is pattern matching on your pain. And it works. People trust it. People open up to it. People believe it cares. It does not.
The lead researcher said it clearly. When a human therapist makes these mistakes, there are governing boards. There is professional liability. There are consequences. When ChatGPT makes these mistakes, there are none.
No regulatory framework. No accountability. No consequences. Nothing.
Right now, millions of people are using ChatGPT as their therapist. They are sharing their darkest thoughts with a product that fakes empathy, reinforces harmful beliefs, and has no idea when someone is in danger.
And nobody is responsible when it goes wrong. Not OpenAI. Not Anthropic. Not Meta. Nobody.
My speech to #NoKings downtown Cleveland yesterday on the threat to democracy presented by the voter-suppression so-called #SAVEAct—and what you can and should do about it. @make5calls. @BrennanCenter https://t.co/fVNal1vgMH
This is the lawyer who filed criminal charges against President Trump and JD Vance today.
He spends his time attacking Indians who choose to support Republicans.
He is a total Trump hater and also a Loomer hater.
@SubodhChandra should be disbarred for filing a frivolous and politically motivated criminal charge today for the Haitian Bridge Alliance.
Hey @JDVance he wants to attack your wife for being what he views as a “bad Indian” since your wife is Conservative.
