Bill Owens, executive producer of 60 Minutes, resigned last week. A wow moment — and not in a good way.

Warning: journalistic integrity at this respected institution is under threat.

Why? Paramount (60 Minutes’ parent company) is scrambling to finalize a merger — a deal needing Trump’s approval.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means.

It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

I can’t stop thinking about Andry Hernandez Romero, a loving son & LGBTQ make up artist disappeared by 🟠 with the approval of the GOP to a El Salvador prison of horror.

It’s been reported upon his arrival to the notorious death camp, Andry was terrified, praying and calling out for his mother.

Dear media,

We're going to need you to stop being polite with trump, stop using kind words to describe his bullshittery, his grifting, and his absolute CHAOS.

When he lies, call it LYING.
When he grifts, call it grift.
When he acts like a fucking fascist, call it that.

Joe Kent is Trump's nominee to lead the National Counterterrorism Center. In 2022 he was a candidate for Congress and appeared on this bananapants conspiracy theory podcast. At minute 8 he's asked if "mainstream media" is a psy-op & he says "yep."

New in PN: Lisa Murkowski reveals the ugly nature of Trump's rule

"Trump is not a normal president who governs through persuasion and political savvy. He constantly resorts to coercive threats. A system where that becomes normal isn’t a democracy. It’s a reign of terror."

NEW in Bolts: People keep dying in the jail in Forth Worth.

Law requires that an independent investigations into each death, but Bolts learned that hasn't been happening in years.

A TX agency concedes they're not respecting the law, but says it can't do anything.

Big new reporting:

A bipartisan push for jail oversight comes after a North Texas sheriff flouted state law mandating independent investigations of deaths on his watch.

It's estimated that these moves could result in 200,000 premature deaths by 2050.

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

A culture of fear within the military leads to hostile work environments through abusive behavior. A classic example is the USS Shiloh, where the abuse became so severe the sailors lost all respect for their CO's authority.

Hegseth should have never been approved by the Senate. It's on them.
