NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Watching the repulsive JD Vance getting booed everywhere he goes at the Winter Olympics is giving me strength. 💪🏼

I like this for #Cavs. Harden takes backup role. Had to get off the mismatch in the playoffs. Got more than for Trae Young. Will always love DG!

Interesting.

At this point all officers should turn on the administration. He’s trying to imagine -> speak these ideas into existence in hopes of sparking the civil war. Insanely evil.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Be aware of the fact that you have no awareness whatsoever of what's been done when civilians haven't recorded the events.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Elon loves to portray “the government” as the bad guy.

But really he’s more governor than a titled governor.
