Scott Pelley, a veteran 60 Minutes correspondent, was fired a day after taking aim at Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss’s leadership during a staff meeting for the show. Pelley received notice that he was being terminated for cause, effective immediately. www.wsj.com/business/med...

“For the US foreign policy establishment, exemplified by the Council on Foreign Relations, the missteps in Iran are the final confirmation that Trump’s highly personalised, instinctive system of predatory diplomacy creates only more disorder.”

FYI this is the test Trump is bragging about “acing” 4 times It’s a fucking embarrassment that his handlers are still letting him gloat about this like it’s some extreme act of intellect

I'm gonna post this everyday so MAGA never forgets what Trump did on Jan 6

Look, plantar fascitis sucks but I think this guy has bigger issues going on

Please take a few minutes and file a comment against this terrible new plan - not just for science, but for every funding agency in the US. fight2win.standupforscience.net/campaign/163...

What's really astonishing is not the far right authoritarian party doing this, but the near-total lack of <loud public collective action> by university chancellors & presidents to oppose this existential crisis. Almost impossible to overstate how total a failure of leadership this is.

Everyone who paid attention to the wars russia waged over the past 2 decades knew, with complete certainty, that Europe's appeasement, failure to act, and repeated projection of weakness would pull russian aggression westward. How many more alarm 🚨 bells must Europe sleep through before it acts?

One thing that won't get enough attention about John Cornyn's loss to Ken Paxton is that, no matter what happens in November, Texas Republicans just willingly gave up seniority in the Senate, one of the most prized currencies in federal politics. Let me explain what I mean... (thread)

A don’t-miss event at San Diego Comic-Con 2026, this panel will be hosted by Mathew Klickstein (author of SEE YOU AT SAN DIEGO, the oral history of Comic-Con) and will feature many of us who were there when it all began in 1970. #sdcc #comiccon #sandiego #comics #comicconvention 1/n

Wonder if it was Aileen Cannon. Regardless, private reprimands are BS. The public should know which judge did this.

He's completely incompetent, even apart from being deranged.

During this difficult time, please show as much compassion to Tulsi Gabbard as she has shown to the transgender community.

FUN FACT: I NEVER miss a movie that has "GROGU" in the title. #MustSee 👀

Tonight is the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We’ll be watching. Thank you for everything, Colbert! 💚

Never forget what musk did.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

One of the few things Donald Trump and I have in common is that neither of us like his sons

21 May 1971, Marvin Gaye released his album 'What's Going On'. The concept album told the story of a Vietnam veteran returning to the country he had been fighting for, and seeing only the hatred, suffering and injustice. It is regarded as 1 of the greatest albums of the 20th century. #WhatsGoingOn

Could we be seeing the first signs that Congressional Republicans are getting fed up with Trump?

Mold, contaminated water, medical neglect, excessive force and overuse of solitary confinement are just some of the inhumane conditions at ADF. Hunger strike for justice has begun. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-05-21/immigrants-hunger-strike-inhumane-conditions-sou...

“Trump’s higher education crackdown could backfire on the very evangelical schools that helped build the Republican Party.” #AcademicSky #HigherEducation #HigherEd

This precedent could also be applied to government officials who blow people up in boats without a declared war, due process, evidence, or trial.

“He’s determined to take down the GOP establishment he resents, even if it will cost Republicans in November.” www.signorile.com/p/with-paxto...

I truly believe that the members of congress who have 7 months left after Trump dumped them can do something very important to turn our country around. I am rooting for you to do the right thing.

It would be cheaper to give every coal miner $5m every year than it is to keep them employed in coal mining. Not even joking; there are maybe 40k coal workers, but annual economic burden of U.S. coal is $200B-$500B (climate change, public health, water & ecosystem damage, dispatch inefficiency).

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

America turns 250 on July 4. Never forget that Indigenous people were forcefully removed from their land and Black people were enslaved when this country declared its independence. Today, Indigenous & Black people are still treated with malice and disrespect. I'm not celebrating. *sips* 🔥☕️

JD Vance: "You know who never, ever gets an ounce of sympathy when it comes to disproportionate sentencing? People who voted for Donald Trump and participated in the January 6 protest."

California friends, if you haven’t voted, I urge you to watch Jasmine Crockett’s endorsement of Xavier Becerra. It’s everything. And check back later. I was able to ask both Becerra and Crockett additional questions that I think matter. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @xavierbecerra.bsky.social

The director of Ask E. Jean says getting the E. Jean Carroll documentary distributed was “quite a challenge,” even as the film explores Carroll’s sexual assault and defamation cases against Trump.

Oh my.

I count 13 edits in three minutes.

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

Voted to confirm RFK jr and compromised himself and then lost his seat anyway

It’s really hard to describe how insane this story is. Of course Patel went snorkeling over the USS Arizona - that’s what happens when you put an irreverent internet troll in charge of a government agency. Disrespectful assclown.

TODAY — and every day until we have justice for all: We fight for equal rights and we join together to support each other in this battle. blackpowerwarroom.com/dayofaction/
