For those of us warning about democracy's potential disintegration, the decision by CBS to pull an exhaustively researched 60 Minutes piece, critical of Trump, is another red alert moment.
When truth disappears as the media gets coopted by the regime, there's little left.

So angry we are returning to the diseases of my childhood - the misery, complications, and deaths. It was bad enough as HCW when it was people resisting the influenza vaccine,but then completely crazy when they turned against the Covid vaccine. We are failing kids.😥
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).
