Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

Trump 2.0 cabinet members

When you’ve got nothing to lose, let it rip!

Wait there’s ANOTHER one?? I thought for sure this was former Anchorage mayor Dan Sullivan.

Getting real sick of people sending meeting invites during normal business hours when I’m marked available.

Cecilia Vega, the first 60 Minutes Latina correspondent, was fired today, along with some of her colleagues, as Bari Weiss overhauls the news magazine. She has released this statement:

No, Tina Peters should not have had her sentence commuted. She broke Colorado laws and was convicted by a jury of her peers. Here’s my statement:

This is a good enough reason, on its own, to vote blue no matter who.

Not for nothing, but I think a lot of people have wrongly settled on “Twitter became a right-wing cesspool because all the cool people left” instead of “All the cool people left because Twitter became a right-wing cesspool.”

Dem candidates are nerds and wonks. Republicans are racist assholes. If you put the two in a cage match it’s no surprise who is going to win.

Cybertruck 🤝 United States

My boss just asked me about an overseas trip which would involve traveling on… June 13.

If there was ever a missed opportunity to pivot to AI:

So far, it looks like every ST subarea is going to be asked to deal with project deferrals and cuts...with the exception of Snohomish County, Somers' own jurisdiction. Seattle is dropping stations, Issaquah is pushing to redesign an entire line, and Snohomish County is not making any concessions.

I am hereby placing a moratorium on scheduling any more events for June 13. That Saturday is full and I am preemptively exhausted.

It feels so stupid, but yes, we have to campaign for the stupid vote. They’re too big of a block to continue ignoring.

Seattle/WA friends: Take the @sound-transit.bsky.social survey about expected cost overruns for ST3. You can rank your priorities for cost vs expansion vs cuts. soundtransit.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Sorry, I don’t buy any of it.

Woke up to a “thank you” note from the boss after a really stressful stretch, had a good therapist call, and it’s sunny in Seattle on a Friday

"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.

A VCR never sold my private info to a nazi

As an Old I am not going to shame the Youngs for their fashion choices. I would simply like to let them know that they don’t have to do this.

What a blessing it is to turn gray and squishy together

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

pretty clear bright line today, anyone in power who isn't doing everything they can to remove him from office deserves handcuffs when this is all over. that includes any democrat who votes for anything he wants

One of the many vows I made as a parent is that my kid is not a prop for vain social posts so I just need yall to know my arms look really damn good today 💪🏼

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Reminding @jwrudolph.bsky.social that using “middle-aged” as a pejorative is dangerously close to shooting inside the tent…

Lotta people about to learn how good our transit system is

Pretty impressive for a regime that was decimated and barely alive. Almost like the White House and Pentagon lied and now service members are risking their lives.

The Republican Party is telling us, with brimming confidence and zero shame, that it intends to make it harder for its opponents to vote and easier to control the outcome of elections. They are prepared to use every tool available to them — legal or not — to stay in power.

National news notifications got switched off in Nov. 2024 and I know it’s the only way I haven’t had a mental breakdown.

I'm not a secessionist because hard secession is stupid & impractical. But if there were ever legal and moral grounds for WA to secede the so-called "SAVE Act" would be it, because it is nothing less than an anti-democratic plot to disenfranchise WA voters. If passed, WA cannot and will not comply.

He’s a serial liar, Peter.

This is underreported story. But it’s important. Acts of domestic terrorism are predictably spiking in the aftermath of our attack on Iran - and Trump and Patel gutted the FBI counterterrorism team, leaving the country intentionally exposed.

In an opinion for GeekWire, local tech entrepreneur Brian Fioca says of the proposed "millionaires tax" for Washington state, "if I’ve found myself in the position of making that much in a year, I can afford to contribute a little more to the place that helped make that circumstance possible."

Iran was already upset its game in Seattle was going to be Pride themed 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Struggling to square that the guy who started WWIII on a whim is also giving “if I find out who took my lunch from the break room fridge” energy here. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Doing my email job on the first Monday of Daylight Saving Time while Congress continues to let the mad dictator plunge us into WWIII.
