60 Minutes Obeys in Advance Read more here.

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

Just did! Others should too.

Nice of the Washington Post to credit @afp.com's reporting on the White House's misleading "Chicago is in chaos" video in their report outlining further Department of Homeland Security deception. wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Well, it looks like a mess! ICE is a bunch of angry warriors!!! A bunch of nonsense artists trying to deceive Americans. They are just cornerstone police, it’s a total comedy show!

He shut the government down for a month to hide files establishing the extent of his fraternization with the most infamous serial child rapist of the last century, and now he is threatening to invade Nigeria to protect members of a religion he pretends to practice but has never actually belonged to

600,000 Coloradans are about to lose SNAP food benefits. 300,000 of them are children. @marshallglasses.bsky.social reports on Colorado's poorest county preparing to hand out MREs.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

That's a start. But you've got a long road ahead to undo all of his damage.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Damn... This was really brave and perfectly executed. The way you guys planted multiple people all around the room and spoke up one at a time overwhelmed their security. This was brilliant. I respect it.💙👏😎

Love this☺️🦭

Kilauea Volcano erupted, with lava fountains shooting as high as 1,500 feet into the air.

Incredible footage 😲😎😲

1. Reagan’s speech is real

2. It’s public domain

3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians

4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check

5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

Still‼️

MARGARET BRENNAN: Understood. We'll talk to Hakeem Jeffries later in the program. I want to ask you about what the President just announced in regard to Canada. Today, the President said he wants to raise tariffs on Mexico. Yesterday, he said he's going to raise tariffs on Canada by 10%. He blames what he called a fraudulent ad that featured Ronald Reagan advocate- advocating for free trade. It was put up by the province of Ontario. Is this ad really the issue here, or is it just a tactic in this negotiation? Does the President want the USMCA free trade deal renegotiated, or is he looking to do two separate deals, one with Canada, one with Mexico?

Dear CBS News personalities: The Canadians' ad did not portray Reagan's tariff policy fraudulently, and you do not have to repeat the president's false characterization of it.

Or if your new boss insists that you do, you can at least point out that it's false.

Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

🤷🏼

At the end of the year I was going to list 100 terrible things Trump did in his first year of this term, but I’ve since decided to expand the list to 500 since it is impossible to just limit it to just 100. Stay tuned.

Hard agree.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

"I don't know anything about that so I'm afraid I can't comment."
