Well, Gov Polis, she certainly does sound contrite.

Your occasional reminder that Pete Hegseth is very arguably the least qualified person to hold a cabinet position in American history.

If this jerk Kendall Qualls is elected #Minnesota governor, he'll pardon Derek Chauvin ... as a favor to Mobster Trump.

EAMON JAVERS Are you worried about oil prices— PRESIDENT TRUMP No EAMON JAVERS Given the apparent breakdown of negotiations? No? PRESIDENT TRUMP No, I don’t worry about that, no.

EAMON JAVERS Do you think the negotiations are over now? PRESIDENT TRUMP I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.

If CBS brass doesn't now fire Pelley, they look like they'll tolerate any level of insubordination. If they do fire him, they will spur additional upheaval that will drive away viewers and advertisers. So Weiss is in an impossible position, which was entirely predictable and is a gosh-darned shame

"I have another question... Did you at any point work with Don Hewitt, telling everybody about what Don Hewitt thought, and what his inspiration was? I worked for Don Hewitt from 1999 to 2004 and Lesley Stahl probably worked with him for 30 years. Just wondering how you have such deep insight?"

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Unbelievably unhinged stuff from Trump on CNBC just now. He's repeating *again* that he'll obliterate Iran, saying he doesn't care if there's a deal (as if time is on his side), and even saying he no longer cares if NATO helps open Strait of Hormuz. He's totally stuck. www.cnbc.com/2026/06/01/t...

Bari Weiss' deputy, Charles Forelle, repeatedly accused Pelley of being "rude." "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness," Pelley shot back. www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

"I have many questions," Pelley told Bilton. "What was wrong with Sharyn Alfonsi?" As Bilton started to say he would "defer," Pelley interrupted: "This is not the crowd to dodge." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

In an explosive meeting, Scott Pelley ripped into Bari Weiss' handpicked new executive producer of "60 Minutes." We obtained the audio. All the details here: www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

Welcome to management, Nick Bilton! We know it's your first time running a newsroom, and 60 Minutes is far more complex than most, but you're off to an amazing start. via Jeremy Barr / @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

Sources also tell me that Scott Pelley got a standing ovation from the remaining '60 Minutes' staff following the confrontation.

Sources tell me that Scott Pelley got into a heated back-and-forth with new '60 Minutes' executive producer Nick Bilton and managing editor Charles Forelle in today's meeting. He demanded to know why his colleagues were fired, prompting Bilton to say he wouldn't be intimidated and quickly leave.

We aren’t talking about this enough. Trump’s lawsuit against his own IRS, the one that he settled to create the $1.776 billion dollar January 6 slush fund, was over the leak of his tax returns. But they were leaked when he was in charge of the IRS.

You sound hysterical if you say it, but in Minnesota the Republican Party is literally pro-murder. An otherwise anonymous killer who killed in cold blood on camera and was convicted of second degree murder received an honorary moment of silence for it at this weekend’s state GOP convention.

I recognize this is futile but I really wish it were a bigger deal in the press that the president publicly posts absolute goddamn nonsense on the internet every single day

There appears to be some serious confusion about the meaning of the word "deal" here

Impeach Jared Polis! And then investigate him. Polis certainly didn't do Mobster Trump this favor for Tina Peters for nothing. What did Polis get?

You can think of this as a "reverse" or "turn" strategy. Reversing attention from the distraction & recentering attention on what is essential. Calling out the politics of creating hate-objects & turning attention back to those who profit from the strategy. It's a contrast. Well played. (from March)

"I didn’t assault anybody," says Bajun Mavalwalla, a veteran who was recently convicted of "conspiracy to impede or injure" federal agents after attending an anti-ICE protest in Spokane, Washington. The unprecedented conviction could lead to six years of prison time.

"One thing that actually propelled actual US greatness after World War II was tying large scientific investments to a non-partisan, merit-based process. But that is not the way of Trump, who wants to extend tools of control and retribution over science." Trump is wrecking everything. Illuminating:

The creep of politicization is spreading across all sorts of positions in agencies that were previously seen as being non-partisan. Look at the drop in career officials and rise of political appointees in scientific agency leadership positions. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-creep-...

The new Trump policy does not occur in isolation. It combines 5 distinct tactics of politicization, the latter 3 of which really are relatively novel under Trump. #1: Centralize policy #2: Strategic use of appointees #3: Demand personal loyalty #4: Threaten #5: Weaken civil service protections

The new policy would allow Vought, the Director of the OMB, to move scientific decisions away from the scientists and into the hands of political appointees. This is the complete politicization of every stage of science. It also allows exceptions from usual review for crony organizations.

A proposed Trump policy would put Russ Vought in charge of American science. Its an example of the slow creep of politicization into processes that both parties traditionally understood as needing nonpartisan and expert guidance. What can you do about it? 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-creep-...

One factor in the recent homicide decline was the Biden admin's clampdown on gun trafficking. Now, the Trump admin is pulling back on several fronts, raising odds that the flow of illegal guns will rise, with ill effects down the line. My latest @propublica.org: www.propublica.org/article/how-...

NEW: Trump repealed Biden’s zero-tolerance policy for gun dealers who willfully violated the law, invited revoked dealers to reapply and shifted hundreds of ATF agents to immigration work, while ATF referred fewer gun-trafficking charges to prosecutors.
