When OPB both cancelled Hush and fired me in an email, I had to think hard about why I ever worked for an outlet who couldn’t look me in the eye and tell me why my journalism didn’t matter. My first contribution to @thewesternedge.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/westerne...

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note: Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

One day later, and I’m still laughing at how embarrassing that loss was for the Patriots.

Today at school dismissal, I followed a suspicious pickup around for a bit, keeping an eye on them, trying to figure out if they were ICE. Then I realized they were keeping an eye on me also. Then I realized they were, in fact, other parents. Life in Minnesota, January 2026.

The Seattle Seahawks have transformed into the most complete team in the NFL, and they needed only one quarter Saturday to show that. It wasn’t just about beating the 49ers. They’re on a mission to reach their peak. ✍️ @jerrybrewer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/698...

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day. Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me. 🧵

First the Mariners come within a game of reaching their first World Series. Now, the Seattle Seahawks are favored to win their second ever Super Bowl. But are Seattle sports fans getting their hopes up only to have them dashed by yet another decade of heartache and disappointment?

Hard to find any weakness in Seattle when they can run the ball like this. A wagon. That defense is simply a marvel.

The road to Super Bowl LX will go through Seattle.

In a 2020 email released by the Justice Department, a prosecutor informed colleagues that President Trump’s name appeared on the flight logs for Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet “many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware).”

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.

Sharyn Alfonsi is an award-winning journalist who has worked for 60 Minutes for 20 years. Before that she reported for ABC, CBS & local news outlets. If Alfonsi says her story was spiked by Bari Weiss political reasons, that’s exactly what happened. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said.

“It’s insane to have them rip our family apart.” Federal agents are arresting the foreign spouses of Americans during interviews at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices. The couples and their lawyers said they had followed the required steps to secure permanent residency.
