@RpsAgainstTrump This is what happens when Bibi runs shit.

Pay attention.

Late last night the Trump-packed Supreme Court issued an UNSIGNED order to help Republicans erase Black voters and keep a congressional seat.

The Court's legitimacy is earned and they are burning it to the ground.

MAGA is rigging our democracy in real time!

I have watched 60 Minutes my whole life.
So have millions of Americans. For nearly 40 years, Scott Pelley was part of why. He is one of the truly great American journalists, and CBS just fired him, one day after he stood up in a staff meeting and told the truth about what is being done to the institution he gave his career to.

Pelley said new management told him to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story, and to report claims that had not been verified. A journalist of his caliber refused.

For that, he was shown the door.

He is praying for a day when sanity, competence, and courage return to that newsroom. So am I.

This is bigger than one man losing one job. 60 Minutes has held the powerful to account since 1968. When the people willing to ask hard questions are pushed out and replaced by people willing to soften the story, every American loses a watchdog we did not know how much we needed until it was gone.

Scott Pelley deserved better.

The country deserves better. A free press does not survive on its reputation. It survives on people with the spine to defend it, and we should all be paying attention to what is happening.

NEW: Former 60 Minutes correspondent Steve Kroft calls the changes under Bari Weiss "disastrous." He adds: "This is journalistic interference. It makes no business sense whatsoever. It's the highest rated news program on television, and it has been that way for more than 50 years. The audience was up about 9% last year. Why would you mess with that?" Our conversation airs tonight on the @newshour .

[Tracey Laughlin @trlaughlin]

@nickbilton You people have lost your damn minds. 60 Minutes was your crown jewel and it took you how many weeks to kill it? But that was the point since you've handed Trump exactly what he's wanted for the past year. You will have no viewers left when you're done. Mission accomplished.

The only business I engaged in was selling my paintings. I averaged about $225k per year in income over the 4 years of my Dad’s presidency. Now you may be outraged by that but where is your outrage over Don Jr opening a private members club next to the White House called the Executive Branch club where the stated purpose is to rub shoulders with senior White House officials and Cabinet members. And the initiation fee is $500,000. Where is your outrage over Peter Navarro calling from inside the WH to push the Pentagon to grant the largest loan it has ever made to any company for a rare earth startup backed by Don Jr. Where is your outrage when Donald Trump took a Boeing 747 from the government of Qatar. Four hundred million dollars. Over a billion dollars in tax payer money for upgrades. The most valuable gift any foreign government has ever given the United States. And when he leaves office, it goes to his library.
He sued his own IRS for ten billion dollars and settled. And the settlement declares the IRS, and I am quoting the filing here, is “forever barred” from pursuing its audits of him, his family, and his companies.

The family of a child who was repeatedly raped by a man who Ken Paxton let off with no new jail time is speaking out:

“The fact that Attorney General Ken Paxton allowed this man to get away with molesting and sexually abusing [our] son for three years is completely disqualifying.

Adam Hoffman could have faced life in prison. Instead, Ken Paxton and his office offered him a deal that kept him off the sex-offender registry and included no new jail time.”

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years

First-degree felony. Life without parole.

Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30.

No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean.

I think every single person in America has a stake in being very loudly against this.

This is Timothy Hudson. He raped & killed his stepsister. A judge ruled because he’s 16 he gets to spend time at home with family awaiting trial.
He’s Not an immigrant. Not a Black or brown person. A US citizen with the complexion for protection.
16 year old Kalief Browder was tortured for 3 years in prison and solitary on the mere (false) accusation that he allegedly stole a backpack. He died by suicide from the trauma. Hudson gets to chill at home after raping & killing.
This is America.

[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

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

This is Nate Paul.

He was under FBI investigation for fraud. His real estate empire was collapsing after 18 properties filed for bankruptcy in a single year.

He wrote Ken Paxton a $25,000 check.

Then Paxton directed his AG’s office to hand Paul confidential investigative files.

They blocked foreclosure sales on his properties.

And they sided with Paul against the charity he was accused of defrauding.

Nate Paul even employed Paxton's mistress at Paxton’s recommendation.

Paxton's own senior staff reported his corruption to the FBI. They were fired.

This is what Ken Paxton does when he’s in a position of power — and it’s why he should be nowhere near the U.S. Senate.

[Tracey Laughlin @trlaughlin]

@kaitlancollins He's going to outright close it, isn't he.

[Tracey Laughlin @trlaughlin]

@USAmbNATO So defend it then.

[Tracey Laughlin @trlaughlin]

@vonderleyen Putin is testing your resolve to protect a NATO and EU member from Russian bombing. What should he take from a sanctions package??
