Scott Pelley, longtime 60 Minutes correspondent, on being fired for opposing Bari Weiss's MAGA bias:
"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... The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well."
UNEARTHED: GOP Rep. Roy admits he's hiding how difficult the SAVE Act will make voting for married women
"I've tried not to elevate the issue too much. My Chief of Staff... had to go through a bunch of hoops, she's gonna have to go back to the DMV twice"
Trump just said the quiet part out loud.
He told Republicans to block a deal that would pay TSA agents, so he could force the SAVE Act through.
I hope TSA workers realize Trump is holding their paychecks hostage.
NEWS: @LeaderJohnThune told @POTUS that Senate Republicans would finally join Senate Democrats to support funding all of DHS except ICE.
Donald Trump said no.
This shutdown is on him alone.
Senate Democrats have come to the Senate floor to fund FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard nine separate times.
Republicans blocked each attempt because they wanted more money for mass deportations.
GOP Senator admits that Republicans are blocking TSA funding:
"The Democrats offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted and I said okay, let's accept their offer... That way DHS is back open. Senator Thune submitted that to Trump, he said, 'No. No deals with the Democrats.' So, we're back to square one"
BREAKING: Republican Senator Kennedy just blamed Trump the government shutdown!
"The Democrats have offered to open up everything but ICE. Ted Cruz and I said, ‘OK let’s accept their offer…’ Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, [Trump] said ‘No! No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week but the President said ‘no deal.’”
This is the DONALD TRUMP SHUTDOWN!
Even Republicans are acknowledging it.
Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."
This is what happened when Charlie Kirk had a debate with someone with an education.
Rather than debating American kids that were just starting college.
A student from Oxford University in the UK destroying Charlie Kirk.
Rep. @jahimes: "You said that there were bad actors in the…credit card companies—who are those?"
@SecScottBessent: "I'm not going to name them."
Himes: "So you'll tell us that they exist, but you won't tell the Congress who they are so that we might undertake some oversight."
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
Starting next week, my government will implement the following actions:
First, we will change the law in Spain to hold platform executives legally accountable for many infringements taking place on their sites.
Second, we will turn algorithmic manipulation and amplification of illegal content into a new criminal offense.
Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate.
Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work.
Fifth and last, my government will work with our public prosecutor to investigate and pursue the infringement committed by Grok, TikTok, and Instagram.
🚨 Before it gets deleted: The full Jeffrey Epstein Interview by Steve Bannon.
A lot of information surrounding the Epstein files has been taken down and redacted. Make sure to bookmark and repost this so more people can see it before it's also taken down.

Hard to overstate what a remarkable statement this is from a Republican senator — even a retiring one — accusing thte Trump White House of weaponizing DOJ to control the Fed:
"It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."
BREAKING: Jerome Powell issues a DEFIANT message to Trump after his DOJ criminally indicted him. Powell rightly says that this is a politically motivated indictment because he refused to bend the knee to Trump. Retweet to stand with Chairman Powell!
