Rep. Lieu: “The Supreme Court is out of control, out of touch with the American people…This is the most corrupt Supreme Court we’ve seen in our history, and reform is going to come next year."

If only someone could figure out how to make milk safe to drink! It'd be such a big deal the process would be named after them.

It’s important to take a beat & say it out loud. This is the president of the United States. How undignified. How diminishing of our country. You wouldn’t let your kids talk like this, so why are you willing to tolerate it from the leader of your country?

This was always coming. Always. And history tells us what will come next.

Trump just posted a rant about "Fraudsters who steal billions every year from the American Tax Payer." He then wrote, "As part of my administration's historic effort to END FRAUD..." <blah, blah, blah> THIS, from the BIGGEST Fraudster and Thief, of ALL. Freaking POS.

Bari Weiss is such a contemptible, lying POS.

The reason you see the outpouring — print, wire, broadcast — is because 60 Minutes writ large and Scott Pelley, in particular, are the gold standard and the real deal. It’s journalism as we dream of it. Bang on the door, go to the war zone, spend time, get to know the people. Tell *the* story.

Had to work until she was 68, never saw a cent from her invention. None of the billionaires are inventors they are all the crooks that stole from the inventors.

White entertainers like Monroe & Sinatra DID make a difference in the segregated world of the nightclub era.

I saw a mention somewhere that 2 huge events --- USA 250th birthday and The World Cup --- are happening this summer and nobody is talking about them. He's sucked the joy out of this country.

There's nothing like walking up that ramp, on opening day, and seeing that grass for the first time, each season. :)

Most expensive ballgame in the country. (When you factor in the price of tickets, parking, food/drink.)

Just another thing Hitler did. Take over media.

Benny! I used to go reenactments on the Green, every Patriots Day, followed by North Bridge, Fenway, Marathon. One yr, we stayed for that pancake breakfast after the Battle. The bill came to $17.75. What were the odds? I saved the receipt. Sox won. Sun came out. We weren't at war. Life was good. 🎆

Bilton's letter reads more like the rant of a personally aggrieved poseur, than an official piece of correspondence from a network executive. Pure vitriol; extremely unprofessional. #CBS #60minutes #ScottPelley

REST IN PEACE 60 Minutes

If you go out, go out like a Scott Pelly, not like a John Cornyn. Fight evil, fight corruption, fight vapid anti-anti-Trumpism, fight the trash people ruining the country and the culture. But hey, congrats to Nick Bilton. I assume he’ll now get an invite to speak at that big FIRE conference.

Scott Pelley is a former war correspondent, Whit House correspondent, nightly news anchor. NIck Bilton wrote a book about influencers.

Watching 60 Minutes with my parents and grandma every Sunday night was as close as we had to a family ritual. Discussing those stories with them week after week was a foundational experience in my life, and I doubt I'm alone in that. Losing a capital-I Institution in American public life matters.

60 Minutes has fallen

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

This is so outrageous. Roberts Court said in Callais finding of intentional discrimination could invalidate gerrymandered maps. Lower court found Alabama intentionally discriminated against Black voters. SCOTUS still allowed map eliminating majority Black district to go through

Alabama case came out exactly as predicted. No one should be shocked or surprised. This is a completely corrupt and broken Supreme Court that literally went against its own reasoning to promote a rigged, racist map in Alabama to help Republicans. Reform the Court or democracy dies.

Blanche is a fucking disgrace. He does this corrupt shit in the face of every American every day. While getting payed with our tax money no less! He is supposed to represent the interests of the people and instead represents only the interests of a criminal president.

DeLAURO: So the blanket immunity for the Trumps is not something you're going move back on? BLANCHE: It's not blanket immunity. That's not true D: It is! B: No it's not D: ..... B: Nothing has changed with that D: Friends, listen to what is being said here. This is really pretty extraordinary

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

DeLAURO: The Save America PAC paid you nearly $10 million in 2024 to serve as President Trump's personal defense attorney! My God, do you not find there's any conflict of interest in what you are doing here as the acting attorney general of the US? BLANCHE: I don't understand what you're saying

BREAKING: Blanche testifies that the Trump tax blanket immunity order portion of the slush fund “settlement” is NOT rescinded. Judge Williams, who has reopened the case, has said there IS NOT A SETTLEMENT. I imagine her probe into whether there was a fraud on the court will continue.

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement? BLANCHE: The Constitution IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

@shayruldawn.bsky.social @cheesedog2024.bsky.social @cinewolf.bsky.social @whatsername2.bsky.social @kinetograph.bsky.social @secretlybatman.bsky.social First Pulte; now THIS. (Who's next? The Watergate plumbers?! Roger Stone? El Chapo?) I'd call this reckless, but I know it's part of Trump's plan.

Holy shit! What the actual fuck?! Pentagon hires convicted Jan. 6 rioter for sensitive counterterrorism job www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The graph is a visual representation of class power. The bottom 50% barely moved. The top 0.1% increased 501% When the wealthy fund campaigns, hire armies of lobbyists, and shape economic policy, redistribution upwards is the result.

So now Trump's bitching that the Iran talks are getting "boring." Well, too freaking bad, A-hole! If u didn't want to deal with (what YOU consider) the tedium of Office -- the normal functional aspects of policy-making, and you know, "PRESIDENTING" -- then u shouldn't have run for Office, you POS! 💩

Trump has spent years distrusting the intelligence community. Now he's put Bill Pulte, a housing finance executive with no intelligence background, in charge of it as Acting Director of National Intelligence. Loyalty over expertise. America is less safe for it.

The Pulte appointment is just about as tragicomic and dangerous as it can get. He’s rawly and vastly unqualified for the role. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Couldn't be clearer after the Pulte appointment that Trump only wants access to these authorities to persecute his domestic political opponents.

If you asked AI to come up with the worst pick possible for acting director of national intelligence, Bill Pulte would be at the top of the list. A sycophantic, pro-authoritarian psychopath with ZERO intel experience, Pulte has been at the forefront of nutjobs whispering... 1/2

Trump Announces Bill Pulte to be new Director of National Intelligence so that Pulte can have access to top secret info to help blackmail and prosecute Trump's critics. That is why Pulte is getting the job. Period.
