This is a CHOICE made by Republicans.

A CHOICE to punish American workers.

This quote continues to rattle me to my core:

"So what you’re telling us is you need less evidence to kill somebody than you do to hold them."

That's Rep Adam Smith to Pentagon officials in a briefing on Trump's illegal boat bombings. As he told me in this piece, they didn't answer his objection:

Chicago's working class is standing united against Trump's attacks on our communities from
ICE raids to healthcare and transit cuts.
Ironworkers in Chicago won't stand for this, and join with working people across the city to flex our power and stop the attacks.

Hey I just got to Miami with @smith.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov because South Florida is going to be hit harder by Trump’s health care cost increases than any other part of the nation. We are here to hear stories from the people whose lives will be ruined and want us to FIGHT for them.

Yes they did β€œobey in advance” and edit out Trump’s tantrum. Nora could have done so much better. As for CBS, they are now β€œFox Lite”.

Dems want FCC probe of "60 Minutes" omission of Trump's Binance pardon exchange A note said the extended version of the interview had been "condensed for clarity."

An exchange from Trump's "60 Minutes" interview about his family's crypto empire was not included in the extended version shared online.

Trump sued and settled with the network over the program's editing of a 2024 Kamala Harris interview.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
