The bad news is that it appears CBS News has fallen.
The good news is that independent media has been ready for this moment.

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

Despite what we are often told, this line from Mamdani’s inauguration speech is what true pragmatism actually looks like:
“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. We may not always succeed. But never will we be accused of lacking the courage to try.”

The doctors chosen by a criminal fraud who knowingly surrounded himself with criminals willing to lie, commit crimes, and fall on a grenade for him said he's in good mental health, so that should totally be "okay" for everyone to believe. Right.

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Well, while Trump has been posting about scumbags and liberal sleazebags and starting a war in Nigeria — Obama went to a hospital — visiting patients, handing out gifts and thanking the staff for all they do every day. 🎅🏿 ❤️ 🐐

Every time I see another one of his vile outbursts, my contempt for the Republicans in Congress grows. They see it too and know it’s wrong but still do nothing. Their complicity and cowardice will gaunt them throughout history.
