Hey @HALcruises I know you are trying to reach a younger demographic, but not sure your blog posting cuts it. 😅 #brand #orm #cruises #Travel #Hacked

Dear #Wisconsin voters, probably not what we want in a Governor.

Absolutely embarrassing morning for Russian President Vladimir Putin. As Ukrainian one-way attack drones fly nearly unimpeded over St. Petersburg - over 500 miles from Ukraine - several slamming into a major oil terminal in the city, starting massive fires and creating pillars of black smoke that can be seen by everyone who has arrived Wednesday for the start of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

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.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

If the White House is safe enough for Trump to host this fucking thing, why does he need a “drone proof” ballroom?

How can Sean Duffy's son-in-law, 25 year old Michael Alfonso run for Congress in WI-07 while registered to vote in FLORIDA? 🤔

Meanwhile, everyone in the Transportation Industry is throwing money at him to gain access to Duffy. 😡

"Israeli jews are hunting children for fun."

SNL: “There is growing confusion over whether Israel being allowed to continue bombing Lebanon was part of the ceasefire with Iran.

Ultimately that decision comes down to the man controlling our military: Benjamin Netanyahu.”

The last time Melania Trump was ever seen genuinely smiling. Ironically, she is with one person she claims not to know, Jeffrey Epstein, and another person she claims to barely know, Ghislaine Maxwell. 😂🤣👇

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Let me get this straight.

A close personal friend of the president allegedly contacted a senior ICE official to have the mother of his child detained and deported during a private custody battle. 

She was ultimately detained and deported. 

The Department of Homeland Security denies the two events are connected.

You can decide what you believe. But here is what is not in dispute.

A man with direct access to the White House called a senior immigration official about his ex-girlfriend at the exact moment it would benefit him in a custody dispute.

That official then called ICE’s Miami field office to make sure she was picked up before she was released from jail, emphasizing that the case mattered to someone close to the White House.

This is the real face of the immigration crackdown.

Not dangerous criminals.

Not threats to public safety.

A mother caught in a custody dispute, deported because her ex knows Trump.
