If you're happy about the Kennedy Center decision thank Joyce Beatty. @RepBeatty was the plaintiff in the case that made Donald cry and write a 10 page essay about how he was going to abandon the Kennedy Center because they ordered his name taken off of it.

@osage77 @DylanByers @RonFilipkowski I sure would pay for that….if only

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."

Gov. @SpanbergerForVA: The idea that you are paying more than a mortgage to have your children in quality childcare is an issue that impacts all of us. It is not sustainable and frankly it's not acceptable. What I'm signing today is a response to the reality that we face as a Commonwealth. We're creating the Employee Child Care Assistance Program, a new tool that incentivizes employers to help their employees pay for childcare with the state matching those contributions. This is one of the ways that we can make childcare more affordable without putting the entire burden on families or on the government alone.

The Maduro regime is still in power in Venezuela. The IRGC regime is still in power in Iran. The Epstein regime is still in power in D.C.

Arlington National Cemetery is sacred ground, the resting place for our heroes.

Desecrating this hallowed space to build a monument to Trump’s ego is wrong, it would waste taxpayer money, and break the law.

I'm introducing a bill with @repdinatitus and others to stop this:

Hey, I got a shoutout on Kimmel tonight! He even pronounced my name correctly 😆

Now that’s an American. I’m proud of you, young man.

Wow, the student journalist who won the Mike Wallace Memorial Scholarship at the News Emmys just called out CBS News.

"While I want to thank CBS News for funding this generous gift toward my education, I want to also acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the name sake of this scholarship." (Applause and some surprise in the room)

[House Judiciary Dems @HouseJudiciary]

Today, @RepRaskin released a new fact sheet detailing the top 10 reasons why Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund and super-pardon for his family and businesses are unconstitutional, illegal, and a fraud on the court.

Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’

@JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case.

Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.

Sunrise yesterday morning in #Pittsburgh was pretty incredible, and I feel like it's been forever since I shot a morning like this when the rivers were still. This is a six shot panorama from the banks of the Ohio River, and the color wouldn't have been in a more perfect spot.

Why does the Trump family need amnesty?

[Dave DiCello @DaveDiCello]

Bit of a unique view of the cherry blossoms on the North Shore of #pittsburgh from last week. There was a huge puddle under the Andy Warhol Bridge, and I was able to capture both the trees and Rachel Carson Bridge from an interesting perspective.

D. L. Hughley on Trump: “I’m very proud I’ve never voted for a president who raped women and children. I never voted for a president who defrauded charities. I never voted for a president that celebrated the death of somebody. And half this country can’t say that”

[💕 Brittany Belle 💕 @BrittanyinTexas]

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Let’s keep this in the spotlight every day

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying.

This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you.

In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.
