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?

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support.

MASSIE: The quickest way and most expeditious way to get justice for these victims is to bring inherent contempt against Pam Bondi. That doesn't require going through the courts. We're drafting that right now.

No matter how much we hope the American people, specifically those 24M (many Trump supporters) whose premiums will jump have the self-respect to place blame where blame is due, the Trumplicans and MAGA will do their best to somehow blame the ACA.
This isn’t even an arguable point…

Congress leaves town until 2026 with no health care deal, forcing premium hikes
Four Republicans teamed up with Democrats to require a vote to revive ACA funds in early 2026. But Senate Republicans tell NBC News that bill is dead on arrival across the Capitol.

According to the Associated Press, at least 16 files disappeared from the Justice Department’s public webpage for documents related to Jeffrey Epstein less than a day after they were posted, with no explanation from the government or notice to the public. MS NOW reporter Maya Eaglin has the latest.

The fun thing is they tried so hard to make this release of the Epstein files about Clinton, that they overstepped themselves grossly.
No it’s more clear than ever that Trump is written all over the files and everybody knows it.

BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.
W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?
B: No, that's not what I'm saying.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is the most intelligent, most shrewd justice sitting on the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is a damn FOOTNOTE in one of her recent dissenting opinions. She’s calling out her colleagues for lying about being strict textualist interpreters of the Constitution.
This is a damn FOOTNOTE in one of her recent dissenting opinions. She’s calling out her colleagues for lying about being strict textualist interpreters of the Constitution.
![12^ The majority's contention that I reject "pure textualism' [a]s insuf-ficiently pliable to secure the result [I] seek," ante, at 10, stems from an unfortunate misunderstanding of the judicial role. Our interpretative task is not to seek our own desired results (whatever they may be). And, indeed, it is precisely because of this solemn duty that, in my view, it is imperative that we interpret statutes consistent with all relevant indicia of what Congress wanted, as best we can ascertain its intent. A methodology that includes consideration of Congress's aims does exactly that and no more. By contrast, pure textualism's refusal to try to understand the text of a statute in the larger context of what Congress sought to achieve turns the interpretive task into a potent weapon for advancing judicial policy preferences. By "finding" answers in ambiguous text, and not bothering to consider whether those answers align with other sources of statutory meaning, pure textualists can easily disguise their own preferences as "textual" inevitabilities. So, really, far from being "insuffi-ciently pliable," I think pure textualism is incessantly malleable that's its primary problem-and, indeed, it is certainly somehow always flexible enough to secure the majority's desired outcome.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zftsnmv3oeatoag66zia5sfu/bafkreidudds6sgom7szw2tpaallkaij74abwiedbqlcfxwyhki63yoehn4@jpeg)

I have read the Substack a few weeks ago. Read it. It rings true with what we have all been witness to for the last year.
I’m no expert, but this is spot on and mirrors what we’ve been saying.
Trump has dementia and is visibly declining. The rambling, the speed, the confusion, the fixation, the sundowning. It’s happening before our eyes.

Let’s be clear: the Brown shooter wasn’t trans, wasn’t hunting Jews or conservatives, and it certainly wasn’t the Muslim Palestinian student Brown briefly erased from its site. Those were conspiracies, boosted by prominent right-wing accounts, and they caused real harm.
