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?

Just as he did with tariffs, Trump is abusing “national security” justifications to raise prices for the American people — in this case electricity prices.

We are parents of a trans kid and our family takes this very, very personally. If you intentionally make life harder for our beloved daughter, it’s EXTREMELY hard to think of you as an ally, to say the least. @amyklobuchar.com - you still send us requests for money, while hurting our kid. Disgusted.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

It's bad.
Payrolls fell -105k in October and rose +64k in November. August and September payrolls were also revised down a total of 33k.
These data suggest VIRTUALLY NO EMPLOYMENT GROWTH since April ("Liberation day").
Unemployment is now up to 4.6%.
This is a tricky report, so stay tuned.

The DOJ once considered crimes involving a breach of public trust "to be among the most serious offenses on the books"—but now Trump is "reshaping the American system of governance to make room for graft," the former pardon attorney Liz Oyer argues.
Trump Is Using a Sacred Power for Depraved Purposes

This is the one reason I think YouTube could overtake all of tv/streaming one day. Eventually you’ll have two options for watching something, 1) view content that corporations want you to watch so you buy stuff, or 2) view content directly from the creator/artist that you want to see and hear from.
Forty years ago, 90% of media outlets were spread across 50 companies.
Now, just 5 companies control 90% of the media market.
This consolidation hurts consumers and helps oligarchs. 🧵
