Republicans are allowing health care premiums to double for Americans already struggling to afford coverage — and now they're trying to distract us.

It’s as shameless as it is cruel.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
