I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

What if every legitimate news outlet resolved to share lies by politicians only if they immediately corrected the lies? What if they stopped letting lies go unchallenged?
The media’s failure to defend the truth is giving a free ride to fascism.

For the “war = offense + defense” crowd…the U.S. dropped “War Dept” in 1947 because it carried the wrong signal to citizens and the world. Calling it “Defense” projected restraint in a nuclear age. Switching back now isn’t semantics, it’s a deliberate rebrand toward aggression.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning:
“Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today?
And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

When a White House reporter gets a BS answer to a question, why don’t other reporters re-ask it? Because they think they're competitors. There's an old communist saying: “When the time comes to hang the capitalists, they will bid against each other to sell us the rope.“ Here’s my journalism version:

About 1 in 5 Republicans has confidence that Vladimr Putin will do the right thing regarding world affairs. This poll result suggests that millions of people think a dictator whose army murders children and rapes women is really a good guy. Right-wing propaganda is poisoning American minds.

A good reason to get out there and protest now is that it will serve as a rehearsal for when we'll need massive people power in the streets to fight off the imposition of a MAGA dictatorship. The courts aren't going to be enough to stop these people. We'll need you, your family and your friends.
We're watching an incredibly rapid state collapse--faster than pretty much any except those involving tanks in the streets--in real time. I say this as a person who's been in places with tanks in the streets. And as one who reads enough to know that the first lie of fascism is inevitability.
