CBS News just gutted its climate team Paramount and Bari Weiss aren't off to a great start. Here's why David Ellison should change course.

NEWS: CBS News gutted its climate team as part of the big Paramount layoffs this week. These journalists had been doing incredible reporting on extreme heat, flooding, clean energy investments and more.

Heritage president backs Tucker Carlson after interview with Holocaust-denier Nick Fuentes Kevin Roberts denounced the β€œvenomous coalition” that has criticized the former Fox News host.

Two years ago, Nick Fuentes was so toxic that, after I reported on a secret meet he had with a top Texas GOP donor, the party was engulfed in scandal and voted to explicitly ban Holocaust deniers/Neo Nazis.

Today, Heritage Foundation effectively said that "no enemies to our right" includes Fuentes.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Funders of Trump's $300M ballroom and East Wing destruction include:

-Amazon
-Apple
-Coinbase
-Lockheed Martin
-Google
-Meta
-Microsoft
-Palantir
-Tobacco companies
-The Adelson family

Don't forget β€” they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor.

First the The Rose Garden, then The East Wing...

Add Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to the list of beautiful things Trump is going to intentionally destroy.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Google gave Trump $22 million to spend on demolishing the White House East Wing & replacing it with a vanity project, a ballroom.

Let Google know whether you approve of its financing the demolition of the White House East Wing.

UN pushes for worldwide disaster alerts as extreme weather β€˜spirals’ Climate-related hazards have killed more than 2 million people in 50 years, said the UN meteorological agency.

Kinda wild that VSPs in the US decided -- as one, like a school of fish -- that climate is not a big deal any more and not worth talking about, even as, out there in reality, climate is getting worse faster than anyone anticipated.

Here's a little history of notable general strikes: 1/x 🧡

Why is May 1 Workers' Day?

On 1 May 1886, nationwide general strike for 8-hour day, w/hundreds of thousands of workers throughout the US. In Chicago, protests against police escalated into the Haymarket riot, w/hanging of 8 organizers.

β€˜I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades

Democrats in Southeast Virginia Endorse β€œPro-Trump, Pro-ICE” Sheriff Immigrant rights advocates were already dismayed that no Democrat ran against their local GOP sheriff in Chesapeake. Then the local Democratic Party rallied around him.

The local Democratic Party chair said they did not seek any policy concessions from Dave Rosado, the β€œpro-Trump, pro-ICE” sheriff, in exchange for endorsing him.

Senator Bernie Sanders has a message for Speaker Johnson.

The No Kings Rally on October 18 is not a "hate America" rally.
It's a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom.
