I took the creepiest pictures I’ve ever taken right now. We live in a horror movie. I wish it was a movie.

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.

Those gross-looking tomato hornworms are doing something important.

If you let one survive, that fat green caterpillar becomes a five-spotted hawkmoth, one of the most important night pollinators in North America.

They hover like hummingbirds and pollinate plants bees can't reach after dark.

If you find one covered in white rice-like growths, leave it alone. Those are parasitic wasp cocoons, and the wasps that emerge will hunt down every other hornworm in your garden for free.

The "pest" eating your tomato leaves is either tomorrow's pollinator or today's pest control.
