The Kennedy Center was financially stable until Trump took over: "In the fiscal year ending in 2024, when the center was led by President Deborah Rutter and a bipartisan board of trustees, it brought in about $40 million more than it spent"

@RepBeatty is my hero.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit.

Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need.

Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.”

Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.”

Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

Former 60 Minutes managing producer Guy Campanile, who was part of the 'Black Thursday' firings in May, is speaking out on the eve of the new season.

He posted the following to his Facebook page:

"As some of you know, my 34-year career at CBS News ended in May. I was part of the 60 Minutes leadership team that was dismissed by the new management.

I have not publicly shared details of what I experienced this past year as Managing Editor at 60 Minutes. It’s wise to remain quiet when emotions are raw. After some time and deep reflection, I am now comfortable and prepared to talk about it.

Tanya Simon, Draggan Mihailovich, Matthew Polevoy, Scott Pelley, Sharyn Alfonsi, Cecilia Vega and I refused to be accomplices in the destruction of the most prestigious news program on American television.

We would not compromise our principles or reputations by jamming unverifiable notions or White House talking points into our reporting. We objected when told to conduct interviews arranged by the administration. We insisted on asking the most challenging questions to business and political leaders without fear or favor. We did what reporters worth their salt do – we questioned authority..including our own bosses. That’s how the best newsrooms work.

To be clear - we were told to leave because we insisted on doing our jobs.

What has happened recently at 60 Minutes – where I believe editorial independence has become a casualty of corporate priorities and ideological intrusion – was tragic. But it was part of an inevitable progression in the cascade of afflictions that have devalued our most trusted sources of news.

Information has become commoditized in the attention economy. Facts are increasingly treated as items in a buffet, chosen depending on specific appetite and ideological tastes.

Journalism, especially on television, is now largely an exercise in presentation rather than examination:

Lead with weather because policy can be complicated. Hype everything to a point where it's hard to tell what is really important. Protect yourself and keep the public distracted by focusing on the “what” rather than the “why”. Showcase anchors with shallow experience but blessed with exceptional haircuts. Broadcast sweeping deductions from sealed studios rather than speaking directly to the people making history or pummeled by events.

Making matters worse is the cadre of self-described influencers and on-line opinionists who market themselves as “journalists”. Some have been given control of our most precious reporting institutions — including CBS News. Many of these newsroom managers have never been exposed to the depths of poverty, the ravages of war or the heartbreak of disaster. Yet these dilettantes and their enablers make critical programming decisions based on what might trend on-line over the next few hours.

I spent two-thirds of my life at CBS. It was an amazing adventure. I saw a good part of the country and much of the world. I witnessed history, met extraordinary people, told great stories, made life-long friends and was able to provide for my family. I left the offices on 57th Street with my head held high and integrity intact.

I am excited about the opportunities ahead. In the meantime, I cannot remain silent as trust built over decades by my colleagues and mentors is wrecked. The audience deserves so much better.

Thomas Jefferson wrote, "Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost." It’s dangerous to ignore his warning.

As for my friends that remain at my former employer: Hold the line. Don’t give an inch because they will keep scraping away until there’s nothing left worth a damn.

Thank you for your support."

Flour companies be like, “Here’s your flour in the worst possible container imaginable. Good luck getting it out without covering your entire kitchen in flour. Fuck you.”

Hey @SenThomTillis wouldn’t it have been great if you had had the opportunity to vote no on Hegseth and confirm someone more qualified than a weekend Fox News host? Who could have seen this coming??

[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

I thank @SecArmy Dan Driscoll for his leadership to our Army and service to our country. Dan was the right man at the right moment to lead our Soldiers and Army civilians.

Our understanding and assumptions of warfare are being challenged in places like Ukraine and Iran, and Dan understands the old way of doing business no longer applies. He and General George began a transformative period of innovation in how we array our forces and equip our Soldiers. He challenged our legacy approach to manning and procurement. Most of all, he cared deeply about the men and women in our Army formations and quickly earned their respect.

If we had a @SecWar who maintained the same priorities and forward-thinking, he would be fighting to retain talented leaders like Dan and the many flag officers he has forced into retirement. Instead, he is creating a leadership void at the top of our military ranks.

I served on Senate Armed Services for 8 years and as chair or ranking member of the Personnel and Readiness subcommittee. I have never witnessed more inept management of the brave men and women who serve our country. He is intimidated by competence and retreats to ginning up culture wars instead of soberly attending to the vital work of our national defense and the health and well-being of our fighting force.

I urge the President to find a new leader at the Pentagon who will retain and empower our military talent rather than diminish it.

@Variety Can I apply these to my 70 year old mother too? She’s getting out of hand.

When Donald Trump asks a journalist, “Who are you with?” the answer should always be “The American people.” Every network. Every outlet. Every single fucking time.

Vaccines do not cause autism

Vaccine doses are nowhere close to “the size of a bottle of soda,” they’re a fraction of a teaspoon

The combo MMR vaccine is not “quite lethal,” it’s been very safe for more than five decades

There are no separate M/M/R shots available in the US and won’t be anytime soon 

Autism prevalence wasn’t “1 in 10,000” in 2006, it was 1 in 110

No state has been requiring little kids to get “72 jabs,” nor even by age 18

Fact check on the rapid-fire vaccine misinformation President Trump delivered yesterday while pushing to change US vaccine policy: https://t.co/qSF53N8XJW

@SenBillCassidy Remember when you fucked up and voted yes for RFK? You could redeem yourself a bit here.

Filmmaker Chuck Russell has passed away at 74.

Chuck Russell directed The Blob & Nightmare on Elm Street: Dream Warriors in the 1980s, and later directed The Mask, Eraser, Bless the Child, The Scorpion King, and Witchboard (2025).

A horror legacy that will never be forgotten.
