Some NYPD officers worry about Mandani becoming the NYC mayor, The Free Press reports The Free Press spoke to several New York City Police Department officers who are worried about Zohran Mamdani becoming mayor. Olivia Reingold joins CBS News with more.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

Speaking with CBS News, Vice President Vance couldn’t muster an answer as to why more than a thousand staffers at the CDC had been mistakenly laid off. trib.al/2sHa4To

“So, you ask, how does this mistake happen? It happened because Chuck Schumer shut down the government." Right.

Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.

There is no case for Trump getting a peace prize—ever.

There is s staggeringly ironclad case for him to be immediately imprisoned for war crimes. And here it is.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Donald Trump's war on public health enters a new phase Another bad day at the CDC

“Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen,” Trump said at his infamous Tylenol press conference last month.

Why lean on published reports, when you can get that kind of health advice from the commander in chief himself?
