CBS has now gotten rid of both Stephen Colbert & Scott Pelley in service to an authoritarian president.

The Epstein story never stopped mattering just because the news cycle moved on. The people involved didn’t disappear. The victims didn’t magically heal. The powerful just counted on everyone getting distracted.

The Coultergeist had a few thoughts.

There are a couple of things Trump could do that would make 70 million Democrats very happy.

Fox News is so out-of-touch that it thinks being against the construction of data centers, which are wildly unpopular, is a "far-left" policy. Keep up the good work of making progressive candidates more appealing to voters, Fox.

Scott Pelley, a veteran 60 Minutes correspondent, was fired a day after taking aim at Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss’s leadership during a staff meeting for the show. Pelley received notice that he was being terminated for cause, effective immediately. www.wsj.com/business/med...

The 47th President of the United States thinks most people don't know that the word 'dumb' ends with a B. Let that sink in for a b-minute.

Grateful to the Court for seeing the urgency in my Motion for Preliminary Injunction.

Is there a possibility for a citizens arrest of Todd blanche... Considering he's breaking the law regarding the release of the Epstein files?

Fuck Donald Trump and fuck you too if you support this rotten and stupid best friend of dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein!

🚨BREAKING: All I can say is this is fucking so cynical I have no words. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

History will be very kind to Pelley. Not so much to CBS News.

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.

"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.

"For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified," Scott Pelley said in a departing statement. Read it again. Management at CBS News 60 Minutes told Pelley to report falsehoods.

I was so worried after Bill Owens quit 60 Minutes last year because that (honorable) departure didn’t get a ton of coverage, didn’t reach beyond the circle of already-interested journalists…. Good for Pelley – the only way to do this was to make a big stink and a huge noise

Mr. Pelley said in the interview that Ms. Weiss would not answer his questions about why the network had decided to fire Ms. Simon, Ms. Alfonsi and Ms. Vega. Ms. Weiss’s behavior, he said, “was cold and callous and beneath the dignity of CBS News.”

Pelley with fantastic parting shots. This is what happens in authoritarian regimes, folks. Is it worth it?

The only thing more satisfying than the removal of his name from the Kennedy Center is the unwell Orange Man-Baby's entirely predictable, seething, unhinged, self-pitying, incoherent, raging, angry, vengeful meltdown reacting to the news. Someone call a wahh-mbulance! And how is your weekend going?

Seriously impressive... HISTORIC: Germany and Norway Give Up Own Sub Slots for Canada - Shared Arctic Fleet youtu.be/R4b4435OUs4?...

No notes…

The removal might just be the most attended event at the Kennedy center since Trump took over.

If Kamala Harris was President, she’d have no issues finding celebrities to perform at a 250th Anniversary of America Concert.

"What we need is a rebirth of the American spirit. And the way we achieve that is by standing up for what's good in our system, our democracy, people doing the right thing, and talking about what public service means. ... That's one of the forgotten functions of Congress.

Of course.

"It's frightful that people who are so ignorant should have so much influence." ~ George Orwell

At the end of the day, Trumpism will collapse because they are stupid and thick

Open up the Cover up… let the healing START❤️🤍💙🦋 Everyone Deserves it.

ICE Agent Arrested in Texas, Charged With Lying About Minneapolis Shooting “Nobody is above the law,” said Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, “including agents of the federal government.” www.commondreams.org/news/ice-age...

My former political party is an authoritarian-embracing cult. They all deserve to lose big time in November.👇

CBS firing Colbert to placate an elderly president with a 38% approval rating seems like a bad business decision.

Proud to be part of this fight. The slush fund is a fraud on the court, and the American people. Thank you, @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social

It’s mind boggling to me that the U.S. congress just lets him keep on criming.

In Argentina, U.S. Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel Finds An Escape - The New York Times Your AI police state owner has decamped to Argentina. Clue: No extradition treaty. He's mentioned a lot in the Epstein files.

Just to be clear: the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

He is a vulgar criminal in the Epstein cartel files...

Nancy Mace hits out at Trump snub and claims she lost president's endorsement over her push to release Epstein files

i suspect epstein has sumthin to do with it, too nypost.com/2026/05/29/b...

Epstein class view of our children...when they're not raping them to satiate their sick desires, they push them through geopolitical meat grinders to satiate their sick greed. FAFO MAGA-land.

The easiest way to pass the buck and continue the coverup! Keep on it Dems! Release the Epstein files!

BELIEVE the VICTIMS!!! #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Ballroom will be done and funded by donors. No new wars. DOGE checks for all. Mexico paid for the wall. Inflation is down. Groceries are down. Gas is down. Russia and Ukraine war ended in 24 hours. No tax on tips. Never friends with Epstein. # Epstein Coverup # Trump

After all the DOJ and Congressional stalling, Epstein survivors now announce they are releasing their own list of names of perpetrators. Epstein class: brace yourselves, perverts.

Bondi “It wouldn’t be appropriate to meet with (Epstein) survivors.” In the entire written fucking history of this planet, there’s never been a simultaneously less sensitive and imbecilic statement uttered. Never. www.huffpost.com/entry/suhas-...

There is not a rational human being in America who doesn't support this. No excuses, the Epstein files must be released.

📌”Trump is an unread moron who’s appreciation of the arts is confined to dashing off birthday cards of headless, naked girls to his rapist buddy, Epstein, devouring reality TV while eating Happy Meals, and harrumphing around a stage on his inner-tube ankles as “YMCA” blares in the background.”

Lots of support for Rep. Ilhan Omar, who just addressed the crowd at the DFL convention. "The 'Pedophile Protection Party' is still holding onto the Epstein files," she said to loud cheers. "There is still a felon in the White House who needs to be defeated."

This White House is the most corrupt Administration in history. But our work on Epstein and recent court wins like those on the Kennedy Center and Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fun prove that when we fight, we can win and slow the Trump agenda.
