Belatedly watched 60 minutes Trump interview. OMFG. This isn't journalism.

Trump said in an interview that he didn't know this guy that he pardoned.

Unbelievable. As in, literally, not credible.

A majority of Americans do not believe President Trump is committed to protecting freedom of speech, ensuring a fair criminal justice system or preserving free and fair elections, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Wow: George Tidmarsh, brought in by Trump admin to lead FDA’s drug division, is on leave after he says he questioned FDA’s plan to speed drug approvals, @by-cjewett.bsky.social reports Also says he clashed with Vinay Prasad and blames him for a toxic environment at FDA

It was truly an honor to spend the final Sunday morning of this long campaign at Harlem's First Corinthian Baptist Church. My deepest thanks to Pastor Walrond, First Lady Rev. Dr. Lakeesha Walrond and the entire congregation for the opportunity and welcome.

B of A’s coverage of AI-related debt has been notable this week: 1) “Borrowing to fund AI datacenter spending exploded in September and so far in October” 2) “Companies may be reaching a limit on how much capex they can fun purely from cash flows” @mikezaccardi.bsky.social 👀

Maybe it was way more than seven million? "8% of Americans say they participated in a No Kings protest on October 18." p.s. Older people are really showing up.

What happened to America First? Looking better, in retrospect. www.aol.com/articles/tru... President Donald Trump on Saturday said he has instructed the Defense Department to “prepare for possible action” in Nigeria over the country’s alleged killing...

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

The Trump Administration is basically claiming the right to kill anyone anywhere for any reason or for no reason, with no evidence provided or accountability to Congress or the American people.

NYT: The White House omitted “the names of several individuals and companies that collectively have billions of dollars riding on the outcome of administration policy decisions.” 🤡 @kenvogel.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/u...

President Trump’s aides have promised transparency about the funding of a new ballroom, but the White House withheld the identities of several donors to the project, including some with business before the administration, The New York Times found.

If I were @nbcnews.com or @abcnewsbot.bsky.social I would market aggressively on CBS to move CBS News viewers to them, as CBS goes through major transformation in news standards, perspectives and objectivity. Habits hard to break, but you need to make them earn a new audience for their new product.

Republican Senator to Republican Speaker of the House -- it's time to show up for work.

Reuters: U.S. JUDGE PERMANENTLY BLOCKS EXECUTIVE ORDER REQUIRING VOTERS TO SUBMIT PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP - COURT RULING

Two federal courts agree that emergency SNAP fund benefits must be paid NOW. The Trump administration must act with the same speed and seriousness to get food benefits to our people that it has acted with to deport immigrants, destroy public health and bulldoze the White House. NOW.

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

CBS News used to have a pretty good climate team. It's gone now.

Gov. Shapiro: " I sued the Trump administration demanding they release contingency funding to keep our SNAP benefits flowing…The judge ruled that they must release the SNAP dollars…I sure hope the Trump administration adheres to the rule of law and follows the judge's ruling."

A Democratic senator is demanding that the White House and its contractors prove their rapid demolition of the East Wing last week did not expose workers and passersby to asbestos, a construction material that has been linked to cancer and lung disease.

I should note, this isn't the first time ADL has scrubbed its website in an apparent attempt to make it more MAGA-friendly. nymag.com/intelligence...

This is exactly the same argument — and, in parts, even the same language — that segregationists advanced to argue that white people had a “right” not to live next to people who were different from them.

The Pentagon has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces in every state and territory by January that are trained and equipped to respond to riots and civil unrest within the U.S.

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on administrative leave just hours after describing Jan. 6 attack as a "mob of rioters." The prosecutors made the description in a sentencing memo for a Jan. 6 defendant who was pardoned by Trump but is facing prison time for unrelated crimes.

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities? TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

CNN just now played that clip of Trump again claiming he's very popular with people, receiving “the best polling numbers" ever. CNN let's the claim pass w/o the necessary corrective: According to Economist: Trump's is deep underwater (-18%) with approval ratings far worse than his predecessors.
