looking for an outstanding progressive candidate to support in a tough primary against an opponent with a massive fundraising advantage due to coziness with corporate interests in a state Kamala Harris won by fewer than five points? Today would be an excellent day to check out peggyflanagan.com

McGOVERN: Do you stand by your comment that kicking people off food assistance is somehow 'good news'? BROOKE ROLLINS: Most of those were fraudulent McGOVERN: I've talked to people who lost benefits. They were kicked off of SNAP. Hunger is getting worse in the United States.

"While his bosses look like bumblers, cowards or corporate tools, Pelley will be remembered as a beacon of integrity and a symbol of righteous indignation – somebody willing to lose his job in order to speak truth to power." via @sulliview.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

ANGIE CRAIG: I don't think you understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any program BROOKE ROLLINS: You can't be serious when you say that CRAIG: Your own data says that

"To say that you as Treasury Secretary do not know what the DOJ is giving away to people? C'mon man. That's just not on the up and up" -- Lujan is underrated as a Democrat who does a great job grilling the Bessents of the world

To this I will add: If you are a Democrat eyeing higher office in a few years, you should think about whether you *really* want to be the guy in the Democratic primary whose position is "We should leave Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh in charge."

zohran, I am begging you, please do this for the mets

Continually shocking how little solidarity there ever seems to be among the White House Press Corps www.huffpost.com/entry/kaitla...

Rubio: I have never seen Trump fall asleep. Lieu: I’m going to show you a video that shows you just lied to congress. Here is a video of him asleep while you are talking.

A #Florida bookstore rescued hundreds of books from a dumpster after learning they were being "recycled" by the Lee County School District. www.winknews.com/news/lee/hun...

Feel like this Burger King ad, where some CEO tells us how he fired the king and shows him dejectedly walking out the door is a lot like the Bari Weiss-Scott Pelley situation. Believing that you can fix an institution that isn’t broken by getting rid of the only people who gave it credibility.

RUBIO: The video you just showed me now he was not falling asleep LIEU: So you're lying again? You're lying to Congress, Secretary Rubio. Here's video from a French news channel mocking Trump for falling asleep at a Memorial Day ceremony.

crazy that under the precedent set by callais, a lily-white congressional delegation formed by "partisan" gerrymandering in a plurality black state passes constitutional muster, while any majority-minority district is constitutionally suspect

Beck's Odelay is an underrated record and remains a really fun and joyful listen. It's worth revisiting.

BOTD: Curtis Mayfield. The Impressions: I Need You www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y9t...

If a federal judge's order is not complied with by a Cabinet Secretary due, as the Sec states, for partisan reasons, then why would a state government official need to comply with a Supreme Court's partisan decision?

MADELEINE DEAN: How many people were killed simply trying to access food sites in Gaza? RUBIO: Well, since Hamas killed them, you should ask what their role was DEAN: IDF soldiers shot some of them. Propaganda ain't gonna work with me

Get him!

Monterey Park in LA County is now the first city in the country where voters have banned data centers. At the ballot box residents overwhelmingly chose to ban data center construction, voting 86%-14% in favor of the indefinite moratorium.

👇🏽 🎯

would love even one reporter to ask what he’s working on if he’s not replying to constituents or colleagues, not voting on bills and not authoring legislation

Hard to know who to trust here, the veteran investigative journalist or the woman who quit the New York Times and acts like they fired her

A perfect use of “corruption” that serves as a reminder of its intended meaning: a thing that ruins or poisons a system.

I see the SCOTUS conservatives are once again doing everything they can to keep their party in power. What a joke they’ve become.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

“She managed to destroy ‘60 Minutes’ in three days. There should be some kind of medal for that.” -- CBS News staffer, on Bari Weiss's management record www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

🚨BREAKING: All I can say is this is fucking so cynical I have no words. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is worded wrong. Supreme Court allows Alabama to use overtly racist map that disenfranchises Black voters after falsely claiming they were not overturning the Voting Rights Act.

If Democrats aren't advocating for massive Supreme Court reform, then they aren't the change you seek or need, folks. If they aren't willing to fight or campaign on this, then we're totally f'd.

Lesley Stahl is 84, Bill Whitaker 74, why would either diminish a lifetime in television journalism by hanging on with the pack of goons that is now in charge at CBS?

Never gets old. J-school essay topic: Is there any performance test for essentially life-tenure columnists? A limit on how many big calls you can get totally wrong, before they say: Hey, buddy, how about taking a step back for a while. Maybe a few reported pieces? Where you go out and ask around?

To the extent SCOTUS is articulating a principle (other than letting the GOP have its way in election cases), it's: a state can do whatever it wants at the last minute to change the rules of an election, & courts can do nothing about it — even with evidence of intentional discrimination.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court upheld an Alabama Congressional map that denies Black voters fair representation. This decision flies in the face of democracy and is another critical blow to our voting rights.

Scott Pelley was fired. Bari Weiss and Co are day by day killing a great journalism institution. For what? To appease a man who despises journalism, free speech, democracy and American values. Infuriating.

It's not a good sign for your democracy when the attorney general is "not committing to doing anything in writing."

... and speaking of gangsters, Bari Weiss apparatchik Nick Bilton wastes no time Victor Orbánizing CBS News, purging actual journalists and crushing dissent. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Mr. Pelley, please do not put in the paper that I am mad.

HOLD UP. The boss who treats the CBS staff like trash says what now? Come on. “CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss said Pelley had created a “hostile work environment” and that Weiss asked him to write an apology letter” www.mediaite.com/media/news/b...

DEAN: You're under oath. When will you comply with the law and release all the files? BLANCHE: We have complied with the law DEAN: There are 3 million more documents. Nobody buys it. *the time of the gentlelady has expired* DEAN: How do I get cut off 2 minutes into this?

The absolute bottom of the journalistic barrel is people in the media chiding Scott Pelley for having the gall to confront Bilton. If you want a job licking boots, become a bootlicker. You’re not a journalist.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and I look forward to being a partner for him in Congress. Meanwhile, my opponent couldn’t bring himself to endorse Zohran as the Democratic nominee in the general election, even when the alternative was serial sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo.

NEW: In 2023, three years after Louisville, Kentucky, police killed Breonna Taylor, the DOJ published a scathing report on the police department’s pattern of misconduct. In 2025, the DOJ halted oversight of the department, but problems remained. By @tophersanders.bsky.social

Replacing "60 Minutes" with "The Ivermectin Hour With Joe Rogan" could bring more young viewers to CBS. by Brian Stelter

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.

It is with great sadness I say: fuck off dude www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/b...

St. Louis taxpayers were still paying for the new stadium they built for the Rams until 2022… six years after the Rams moved to Los Angeles. Kudos to Gov. Pritzker for standing up to the Bears’ attempted extortion. These franchises should be building their own stadiums, not shaking down taxpayers.

Adding Joe Rogan to 60 Minutes would be like putting Bari Weiss on charge of CBS news.
