The Trump administration’s assault on the media has been relentless. But Scott Pelley’s firing from “60 Minutes” this week is the one that stopped @briantylercohen.bsky.social cold, he writes. “This is what the end of an institution looks like.”

"Someday I’ll need to take a break from writing about Trump’s outrageous 'anti-weaponization fund'—there are plenty of other outrages clamoring for our attention. But there’s no helping it for now." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

Nous donnons le coup d’envoi de la mine Matawinie de la société Nouveau Monde Graphite, qui créera plus d’un millier de carrières de qualité et permettra au Canada de se positionner comme un fournisseur de graphite de prédilection dans le monde.

ABC accuses the Trump administration of violating its free speech rights with a regulatory action focused on the talk show “The View,” according to a filing submitted to the FCC.

Donald Trump is lying again about elections. You might recall this once lead to a violent insurrection in the Capitol where police officers were attacked and injured. I realize the legacy media wants us to say this nicely, but they can go fuck off. Support Democracy Docket instead. bit.ly/4qr0jTS

TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you?

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

I’m reading this lawsuit Kash filed against The Atlantic. I’m struggling to find where they were wrong.

Trump is being forced to return $166B to Americans from his illegal tariffs, starting today. Thousands of small businesses are submitting proof that the tariffs negatively impacted their business in hopes of receiving a refund.

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

I like this pope more and more

The first American leader of the Catholic Church has fiercely criticized the war in Iran, deepening tensions between the United States and the Vatican.

Talks in Islamabad between the United States and Iran have failed...Trump accepted Iran's ten-point plan going into this negotiation and then he did what Donald Trump has always done his entire life—commit fraud and try to change the terms.

Vance: We have not reached an agreement. They have chosen not to accept our terms. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement,

Tens of thousands chant “Russians, go home!” at tonight’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square ahead of Sunday’s Hungarian election.

Angus: This is a president who says the only constraint on his actions is not Congress, not the courts, not international law, but, quote, “my own morality, my own mind.” There is no morality in a man accused of being a rapist…

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.

Dear Trump Voters, He lied to you. Gas is higher than Biden. Groceries higher than Biden. Healthcare higher than Biden. People losing rights and treated with no respect. WH ruined. Another war. America has alienated itself. You were told, but you wouldn’t listen. This screws all of us. Thanks!

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

Jeffries calls for Mike Johnson to immediately reconvene the House to take up a war powers resolution

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Archbishop Paul S. Coakley made the statement ahead of the 8 p.m. Tuesday deadline Trump gave Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.

No one is allowed to say they didn’t vote for this. You voted for a vulgar, narcissistic, incompetent, mentally ill, bigoted, unfit, incompetent, maleficent person to run the United States of America. You knew exactly what you were doing. Stop pretending.

Now is the time to confront what Trump is saying, not sanitize it. To take him literally and seriously. To stand tall and not back away. I built Democracy Docket to expose attacks on free and fair elections not sugarcoat them. Support its work. Subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I'm cringing with embarrassment that an American president wrote this. Absolutely cringing.

This is psychotic. The President of the United States needs to get help. Totally unhinged and extremely dangerous.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.
