I recall a time when a correspondent position at @60Minutes was like a Supreme Court appointment. A job for life. You went out when they carried you out. Those days are long gone...
Dylan Byers@DylanByers

NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss: "Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes. Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over. In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom. Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it. The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters. To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less." Backstory: - January: puck.news/inside-bari-we… - April: puck.news/bari-weiss-pla… - May: puck.news/sharyn-alfonsi…

@GJockdua I've said this before here, Greg: I had a couple GF's in NY who were NOT from Michigan & had never even heard of George Kell. But I swear that after living with ME (hard thing to do!) & hearing me do George sayings every day they both eventually did passable imitations of him!

@UntoldWarFacts BS the Mustang was not a thing in 1940 and the Brits did not desperately need a new fighter. Spitfire and Hurricane did fine. Where does this nonsense come from ?

In 1940 Britain desperately needed a new fighter aircraft to fight the Germans. An American company nobody had heard of promised they could design and build an entirely new fighter in 120 days. They delivered it in 117. The aircraft they built became one of the most important fighters of the entire Second World War. This is the story of the P-51 Mustang..🧵1/5

Pauline Hanson 🇦🇺@PaulineHansonOz·
I want to apologise to people who have tried to get in touch with my office and haven’t received a response. We are being inundated with thousands of calls, emails and messages every week and it’s not possible to respond to all of them. The Albanese government cut the staff allocation to One Nation after the last election. I have been going to both the Prime Minister and Special Minister of State Don Farrell since the staff cuts. I have been begging and pleading with them to give us more staff to deal with the heavy workload. In fact, earlier this year a staff member wrote to the Prime Minister directly, explaining the extreme stress they are under. Labor hasn’t even responded and couldn’t care less. My staff have continued out of loyalty, and they want to help the Australian people but their health has now become a serious issue. As the leader of One Nation, I have 5 Electorate officers and just 2 Parliamentary Advisers. The Leader of the Greens, Larissa Waters, has 5 electorate officers and 15 Advisers. The Prime Minister has 59 personal Advisers. Adding his other Ministers, the Government employs a total of 504 personal Advisers. This is in addition to the 1,200+ employees in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet alone and 185,000 employed by the Government as bureaucrats in the public service. This is the Prime Minister using his powers to disadvantage his political opponents who don’t agree with his agenda. My office deals with people in very difficult situations, complicated family law, immigration, NDIS, veterans and welfare plus many other matters. The Australian people’s personal struggles are worse than ever – my staff have had to talk people down from the edge of taking their own lives. Many people come to us because they get absolutely no assistance from the government and many other political offices. It’s beyond a joke the lack of help that Labor is providing considering I would have one of the busiest political offices in the country. I didn’t want to air this out in public, but this Albanese government has given me no choice It’s not that we don’t want to do the work for the Australian people, it’s that we physically can’t. My staff want to help this country and the people in it, but they’re so stressed they are close to collapsing. I am the leader of a political party that is polling more than major political parties. The government has failed to staff One Nation anywhere close to a functional level. This is pure, bloody-minded politics by the Labor party. I’ve tried everything I can to help people and will continue to do so, but my hands are tied. The Labor party like to go on about the battlers. Well I’ve got some in my office trying to do a decent job for many Australians, but they don’t care about them.

So the evangelical preacher who publicly worships Donald Trump - the most corrupt, most dishonest, most lawless, most ignorant, & cruelest president we’ve ever had, a president who’s proudly fascist, a president who’s also a serial adulterer, a serial sexual abuser of women, and most likely a pedophile - the preacher who worships THAT immoral monster is worried America has become “morally rotten?” Seriously @Franklin_Graham??? Get outta here…

@spclsmthin Most of your takes I heartily agree with, however, I’m not sure playing the Vinnie Barbarino character, from Welcome Back Kotter, for 50 yrs of acting is range.

NOW our boy is rolling over in his grave after Trump so besmirched the legacy of all former Presidents!
Echoes of War@EchoesofWarYT

He was the last Founding Father to become president. The last to wear knee breeches and a powdered wig. The last to die on the 4th of July. And one of only two U.S. presidents with a world capital named after him. Today, James Monroe would be 268 years old. Born April 28, 1758, in Westmoreland County, Virginia, Monroe dropped out of William & Mary at 18 to join the Continental Army. On Christmas night 1776, he crossed the Delaware ahead of Washington's main force. At the Battle of Trenton, a musket ball tore through his shoulder and severed an artery. He should have bled out in the snow. A surgeon named John Riker clamped the artery and saved his life. He'd spend the rest of that life building America: -Studied law under Thomas Jefferson -Helped negotiate the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, doubling the country -Served as Governor of Virginia, then Secretary of State AND Secretary of War simultaneously during the War of 1812 -Acquired Florida from Spain via the Adams-Onís Treaty -Settled the U.S.-Canadian border at the 49th parallel -Presided over the "Era of Good Feelings," the only stretch in U.S. history when a single party held nearly all national power with no real opposition But his real monument is three paragraphs: In his 1823 annual address, Monroe declared the Western Hemisphere off-limits to European colonization. Those three paragraphs became the Monroe Doctrine, the spine of American foreign policy for the next 200 years, invoked by Polk, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Reagan, and every president since. A few things you probably didn't know: -His daughter Maria's 1820 wedding was the first ever held in the White House. -Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, is named after him. He backed the colony through the American Colonization Society. -He privately drafted a veto message against the Missouri Compromise, then signed it anyway because he feared the Union would split. -After his wife Elizabeth died in 1830, he reportedly burned every letter she ever sent him. -He died broke. Congress reimbursed him for decades of unpaid expenses, but it came too late. He died on July 4, 1831, the third president in five years to die on Independence Day, after Adams and Jefferson. The man who survived Trenton, drafted the doctrine that defined a hemisphere, and steered the country through its calmest decade quietly built more of modern America than almost any president we still talk about. What's the most surprising thing you just learned about him?
