Thank goodness. Pushback works.

This deserves a lot more attention than it's gotten. Many of these incidents are serious violent offenses.

A new investigation announced by special anti-corruption prosecutors in Albania into the $1.4 billion luxury project Jared & Ivanka are trying to build on protected wetlands. My deep dive into this project that's bringing thousands of protesting Albanians to the streets. youtu.be/Y6XhwqOw3bA?...

BEAUTIFUL: Protests are escalating against Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s $1.4 billion real estate development in Albania that’s encroaching on protected land and endangering wildlife. The people are fighting back! Share everywhere so this doesn’t get buried! substack.com/@rawstory/no...

Now known as the Evil Eye network.

We need to stop Donald Trump's corrupt DOJ deal that protects him and his family from tax audits and ensure no future administration can abuse government power in the same way. I'll keep fighting his lawlessness.

Can’t be repeated enough👇🏽 Just so insane

More insanity from the Colorado GOP. Get it together, folks, or you won't win statewide office again.

This is so brutal.....well done Senator Cortez Masto.....

ProPublica’s reporting “reveals a staggering level of corruption and influence peddling that superseded this process, enriching the President Trump’s son at the expense of U.S. national security and taxpayer dollars,” lawmakers wrote. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

SEN. WYDEN: “Trump has set the new high water mark for public corruption… everybody in 🇺🇸 is subject to IRS audit except the Trumps. I take it as an admission of his own guilt when it comes to tax cheating. Trumps have stuffed every dollar they can into their pockets.”

Wow.

“Not intimidated” and then sends the termination by letter instead of doing it face to face with a veteran war correspondent and award winning investigative journalist for your network protesting the diminution of the show. Punk ass move.

Head high, Scott Pelley, eyes forward.

Pelley had to know that Nick Bilton was going to fire him over being told to his face what a nothing hack he is, and I honestly respect that he a.) forced the issue and b.) managed to elicit such a whiny termination letter on the way out

Scott Pelley has provided @status.news a statement blasting current CBS News management and even accusing them of having tried (and failed) to "inject falsehoods and bias" into his stories. www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

This is the way, fellow journalists. Stand for something or fall for anything. The right side of history is rarely this easy to spot.

Any fool could see this coming. If you mask law enforcement and send them out with no ID to rampage through communities, it's easy for criminals to impersonate them and abuse the public.

An NBC News investigation finds dozens of examples of criminals imitating ICE to rob and attack people www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Bravo Scott Pelley. We need more people in positions of authority to speak truth as he has. And those not taking his stand when they can should be embarrassed by his example in contrast. When we all stand up, that’s how we save our freedom and democracy.

CBS has fired Scott Pelley for doing exactly what journalists are supposed to do: Speaking truth to power. Bari Weiss and David Ellison are a disgrace to the media industry. But they unfortunately join a large corporate club filled with disgraceful people.

Oliver Darcy’s Status has obtained a statement from Scott Pelley responding to his termination by CBS News and 60 Minutes Executive Producer Nick Bilton. Full Story Here: bit.ly/3Qig8Qz (Side note: I will always be a paid subscriber to @oliverdarcy.bsky.social — worth every penny)

Scott Pelley is leaving, but not before he drops a big stack of receipts on what happened at 60 minutes. It's worse than you could have imagined, and bless this man for fighting as hard as he could and then tearing down the blackout curtains so we could see what's happening inside.

“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...

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

Pelley’s ouster is the latest in a series controversies at CBS News since the network’s owners hired Bari Weiss to take over as Editor-in-Chief last year.

Please, GOP voters in CO, where I live, do not nominate this man as your standard-bearer. He's obviously a fantasist and in no way, shape or form qualified to lead our state. Expect better. Demand better

"Mr. Pelley also wrote that senior managers at CBS News had pressured him to insert bias into stories for “60 Minutes” this past season, though he did not provide details about specific segments." Pretty important part of the story re his firing. Maybe *the* most important part. CBS = new Fox.

Scott Pelley's firing is like an underwater earthquake at CBS News – not visible on TV right away, but guaranteed to have many ripple effects

"This is an organized effort to guy the most important element of broadcast journalism in existence. And he saw it for what it was, and he said, 'I'm not gonna be part of it.' And that's that. Good for him." @samsteindc.bsky.social on Scott Pelley calling out the corporate gutting of '60 Minutes.'

Scott Pelley is a former war correspondent, Whit House correspondent, nightly news anchor. NIck Bilton wrote a book about influencers.

Scott Pelley has been fired by '60 Minutes.' From earlier today, here's some admiration for his willingness to speak truth to power. www.thebulwark.com/p/scott-pell...

This is crazy. First a home mortgage guy appointed as interim Director of National Intelligence and now an insurrectionist hired to handle classified military information. Are they trying to compromise our national security?

If you don’t like what you’re seeing at Delaney Hall, pay attention to what’s happening in Congress this week.   We must stop giving ICE and for-profit companies like GEO Group a blank check to create chaos.

I keep saying it but nobody is doing it better than this guy right now.

The people who led the negotiating of Trump's slush fund were all Trump's personal lawyers, who had worked with one another. There was no-one there representing the public interest. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/u...

It’s telling that when Hassett was asked about the spike in delinquent credit card balances, he talked about the potential harm to credit card companies, not people.

Privatizing prisons and detention facilities is one of the worst public policy decisions this country has ever made. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Ossoff details "Prince Eric and Prince Don's" corrupt dealings in Kazakstan and says, "here's the bottom line. If you're involved in any of this, next year you'll raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God in front of Congress"

Hmmmm

Nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz: • paid himself $5M as a “ghost employee” • diverted tens of millions owed to taxpayers & employees • failed to pay at least 3 multimillion-dollar judgments awarded to grieving families He also received a Trump pardon. (Published March)

This is sad and poignant.

Thank you, Lawfare. This matters.

CONAN AT HARVARD: “No university in our nation has produced more Nobel laureates or white collar criminals… so whether you choose good or evil, know that you are among the very best.”

I'm sure it's just a happy coincidence.

We just secured a first-of-its-kind court order pausing the Trump-Vance administration from processing claims, transferring money, or distributing payments from the president’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” This is a win for transparency, the rule of law, and the American people.

ICYMI — Justice Alito’s son has been working in the Trump administration 🤔🤷🏼 So much corruption
