Not a peep from CBS News boss Bari Weiss after Trump called CBS reporter Nancy Cordes 'stupid' at a Thurs n/c. CBS mentions the incident in this piece about Trump's repeated attacks on female reporters but Bari's MIA when it comes to standing up for Cordes.

Dude using his kid as a shield instead of just saying he thinks redistricting is wrong and he will vote no. Trump will call him, say sorry, imply being primaried and he’ll fold.
obviously plenty of other things should have already been disqualifying but people willing to defy Trump publicly and appeal to decency as their reason for doing so both seem pretty good

President Trump on Sunday urged House Republicans to back a measure that would compel the Justice Department to release the Epstein files, a sudden reversal after his campaign to tamp down Republican dissent and halt the vote.

Trump basically said academic freedom should only exist for Tucker Carlson, America's greatest normalizer of antisemitism who isn't Elon Musk.
I'm no lawyer, but when the president is defending the elevation of literal Hitler lovers, no one should ever take anything his regime says, pretending to care about antisemitism, seriously. Hope every university in America gets that.
