Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Narcissism drives US foreign policy
Donald Trump’s meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu shows how his ego continues to drive American foreign policy.

A few reminders about the SCOTUS immunity decision for Presidents:
It does not provide immunity for prior crimes.
It does not provide immunity to the President's cabinet.
Similar to Roe v. Wade, it can be overturned in the future.

Why would anyone risk themselves to go on 60 Minutes after this? How can viewers ever trust CBS News to report fairly on topics this White House is sensitive about?

Let’s be real, the DOJ isn’t going to prosecute itself. That’s why Congress is talking about using its own authority to step in using its own constitutional powers to enforce accountability.

Share and tell CBS to air this! Sharyn Alfonsi, the veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent who reported a segment about migrants sent to the El Salvadoran torture prison CECOT, just sent a blistering letter to colleagues, sounding the alarm that Bari Weiss spiked the story for political reasons.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Survivors are beginning to be heard. While this interview has no smoking gun for Trump, it does expose some of the failures and corruption of our system. I’m looking forward to hearing from the women who have previously accused President Pedophile of violent rape.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

'Only a universal, publicly funded health system – with equitable access and lifelong follow-up – can make gene therapy medicine, rather than merchandise. Without the NHS and charities, the breakthroughs remain in the lab. With it, they become part of the common good.'
