Congrats to Scott MacFarlane on his stratospheric growth since going independent and launching his channel just days ago. People are clearly hungry for real, raw, enterprise reporting.

If no one else wants to say it, I will: Stop calling it a TSA crisis. It’s not broken. It’s being broken on purpose. Project 2025, page 159. This is how control gets sold to the public. You better vote.

@BraddrofliT What a wonderful opportunity that will be!

Here’s the part no one is saying: The next president won’t get a real first term. They’ll inherit a repair job. Rebuilding alliances. Restoring credibility. Undoing damage. An entire presidency spent fixing what Trump broke.

This is incredible. This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic. It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

As CBS retreats from radio - which 233 million Americans use - NPR remains on and the audience is up. The main CBS product was a short hourly newscast. NPR’s hourly news is on your local station - and also available on demand! Hit Play on the NPR app apps.apple.com/us/app/npr-nat…

.@JamesTalarico: Republicans have been attacking me by taking something I say about the border and cutting it off mid-sentence. I have said throughout the whole campaign that our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front AND a lock on the door. You can welcome hardworking immigrants who want to contribute to this country and keep out people who mean to do us harm. Those are not mutually exclusive goals. But the Republicans don't want you to know that those two things are possible. Texans and Americans are looking for leaders who are going to hold two things in their mind at once, being pro-immigrant and pro-security. They want leaders who are going to hold both those values together at the same time.

From Edward R. Murrow’s broadcasts to today, CBS News Radio has been part of the foundation of American journalism. Murrow’s mic sits on display at the National Press Club as a reminder of that legacy. When an institution like that disappears, it’s a loss for the public & for journalism.

@MacFarlaneNews Our hope is to have a new radio station, new press services, new stations. It is our only last hope.

The demise of any radio legend…. is the demise of an irreplaceable fine artist

@MacFarlaneNews I don’t look like her, but DITTO! 😁

Greatest going away gift ever. Thanks to a very kind former colleague at CBS News for this gesture tonight And thanks to my favorite singer for recording this. Ms Chante Moore is an artist who supports journalists.

@AnaCabrera 🌻 Just about every other day, I remark to my husband with a good job I think you are doing. Thank you for your professionalism and class. We look forward to seeing you elsewhere. Best of luck!

Personal news…

The United States was the only country to vote “no” against the women’s rights document at UN commission. This isn’t being talked about enough.

@tommysantos14 Make America truly great again.

When Trump leaves office: The Department of War will go back to being the Defense Department. The Trump Kennedy Center will go back to being the Kennedy Center. The Gulf of America will once again be the Gulf of Mexico. The unfinished East Wing (it won't be finished by the end of Trump's term) will be rebuilt by the next president, and it will not be a ballroom. Federal agencies packed with unqualified loyalists will fire those people and rehire the career experts Trump fired. The Department of Justice will go back to enforcing the law instead of protecting the president. Scientific agencies like NOAA, the EPA, and the CDC will go back to publishing research without political interference. The U.S. will re-align with its allies and not with its enemies. The presidential pardon power will stop being used as a rewards program for loyalists. Inspectors General will go back to investigating corruption instead of getting fired for it. The White House press room will go back to having briefings, with real journalists and not podcasters. U.S. foreign policy will stop revolving around flattering dictators. And the world will progress as though Donald Trump never existed.

A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.

👇See the pattern? #VoteBlue2026 💙

Jeff Bezos paid $50M for a wedding. He just got a $16B tax break. He laid off 60k people. And you’re furious about a kid getting a free school lunch.

Somehow Republicans won the presidency, House, and Senate without the SAVE Act. Yet somehow they will never win again without it? All this while advocates cannot produce any credible evidence of mass voter fraud that is supposedly making it impossible for Republicans to win.

@MacFarlaneNews Please reappear soon! ✨

My final report for CBS News is the final chapter of my multi-part series on the glory of RADIO Johnny Holliday is much more than a radio legend in Maryland. Just ask the surprise guest at the end of this segment! =====>

Money for wars, but not for education. Money for wars, but not for healthcare. Money for wars, but not for healthy food. Money for wars, but not for hungry children. Money for wars, but not for sustainable energy. Money for wars, but not for unhoused veterans. Funny how the budget always appears when it's time to destroy something, but disappears when it's time to take care of people.

@Be_Believing I’m not Black, but I wish I were, just so he can re-do me! 😁
