Russian military leader assassinated in car bombing.

This could have big implications for democracy in Kansas. The retiring justice was part of two 4-3 rulings that upheld GOP gerrymandering & weakened voting rights. Gov. Kelly has since replaced 1 of those 4 justices & gets to replace another just as the GOP is considering passing a new gerrymander

The Trump censorship complex strikes again. Trump’s corporate collaborators suppress reports on his international network of human rights violators. Sometimes democracy dies in broad daylight.

The New York Times investigated 346 people who donated at least $250,000 to Trump and found that more than half of them (197) have received pardons, jobs, government contracts, special treatment, or favors.

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

A car bomb killed a Russian general on Monday, the third such killing of a senior military officer in a year. Investigators said Ukraine may be behind the attack. https://to.pbs.org/3YaWZjZ

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Just as he did with tariffs, Trump is abusing “national security” justifications to raise prices for the American people — in this case electricity prices.

Trump’s transpo Sec Duffy community noted for taking credit for what Biden did

"For reasons only you know, you aligned the Heritage Foundation with the rising tide of antisemitism on the right."

From @humanrightswatch — This is what CBS News(Max) chief @bariweiss just yanked an @60Minutes segment about to please Trump. www.hrw.org/report/2025/...

If you think switching which corporate owned legacy media outlet you consume is the solution, you don't really understand how deep the problem is. It's not just ABS, CBS, WaPo or the LA Times. It's the system in which they work. The only solution is to support pro-democracy independent media.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

My god. From Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her ‘60 Minutes’ colleagues, posted by the NYT Michael Grynbaum:

This is stunning. Blanche is claiming, with a straight face, that the only federal prison where a convicted sex offender can adequately be protected from other inmates just so happens to be a minimum security prison that gives her puppy playdates. Truly preposterous.

It looks like it's been scrubbed from every official 60 Minutes page now. It's only a 30-second promo but here it is if you didn't get a chance to see it.

HUNT: So do you think the actions the DOJ is taking this are specifically designed to protect Donald Trump? JAMIE RASKIN: Well, what else? Yeah

This is NOT normal.

WOW. They're not going to air their special on CECOT. I'd like to know who made this decision, and whether the federal government had a hand in it.

In the summer of 1950 most US newspapers ran an AP story about how race had become the main issue in the upcoming Georgia governor's race. Segregationist Herman Tallmadge, governor from '47 to '55 and then a Senator until 1981 made a name for himself by refusing to "apologize for being a white man."

Trump's in the Epstein files over 600 times.

Nobody should watch CBS until this airs. Which may be never after Trump threatened them again. He has the ownership and management he wanted who will now obviously do his bidding. Erika Kirk last week, now this. The MAGA News Network.

This is a disgraceful and historically ignorant statement to hear from an American leader. He doesn’t speak for most Americans. And he definitely doesn’t speak for most American veterans.

Trump pardoned these criminals. Trump is soft on crime.

I'm 100% for Congress using inherent contempt. I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court will require legislation, which is reason 4839505 to take back both chambers of Congress in 2026. Back in 2021, @reptedlieu.bsky.social introduced a bill. Let's do it again. lieu.house.gov/media-center...

Perhaps the vice president should have considered utilizing the services of the vast law-enforcement apparatus at his disposal, rather than googling conspiracy theories on the Internet.

JUST NOW: J.D. Vance gets 30 seconds of applause for declaring 🇺🇸 “a Christian nation” (as his boss covers up the Epstein files)

her older brother is in prison....that's what this is about. globalnews.ca/news/6468879...

America was founded on religious freedom and our government was constructed to be secular, with the literal first sentence of the First Amendment barring the federal establishment of a religion. The founders were incredibly clear about this.

Donald Trump Jr.: "The real enemy? It's not Steve Bannon, or Tucker Carlson, or Ben Shapiro. It's the radical Left that murdered Charlie and celebrated it on a daily basis."

Kimmel: “You grow up reading Superman and you learn to value truth, justice, and the American way. And then you start to realize, especially over the last year, you don’t know where that all went. You don’t know what the American way even is anymore.” open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

“we find ourselves in a land of confusion. Trump pays off a porn star and yet is hailed as a champion of Christian values. He mocks prisoners of war and calls dead soldiers “suckers,” and his MAGA base is thrilled by his patriotism…” @sykescharlie.bsky.social

Most Americans don’t fully grasp what is the most powerful animating force in my former political party: white Christian nationalism. It’s real, and, bcuz Trump is an empty vessel, it’s a movement that uses him to grow in power & influence. And it’s growing. I hear it every day from Trump voters.👇

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated. Read more: www.theverge.com/health/66136...

These are quite clearly not the same photo. Clinton's face is partially obscured by Jackson's in the one from the Epstein archive. 20K reposts for this, but the premise is false, and I suspect the conclusion is as well.

This also seems to indicate DoJ thinks removing Trump’s name is consistent with the law.

I think bigotry has become a kind of loyalty ritual among young republicans, it’s how you show you’re one of them www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they're looking impeachment proceedings & even criminal referrals for DOJ officials. Do you take these threats seriously? BLANCHE: Not even a little bit. Bring it on. There is well settled law that redacting info very much trumps some deadline in the statute.

Ex Republican presidential candidate Joe Walsh: “The only explanation is what’s in there about Trump must be really really really bad for him to continue to try to keep these things hidden. This is a major cover-up.”

How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀 LA tow truck driver who towed ICE’s car found NOT GUILTY 🦸🏽‍♂️

Fair question 🤷🏼

Nothing to see here, just a right wing hyper-nationalist government going to their party’s youth event sponsored by a group with a martyred leader they’ve pledged to avenge, recruiting people to join their masked police force devoted to removing auslanders from ze homeland.
