• If there's one thing controversial CBS News editor Bari Weiss has earned praise for it's her hands-on booking of big names for the network. But there's one booking she seems to have blown up: New York mayor Zohran Mamdani, who had been in talks to appear for an interview on CBS News Sunday Morning with Robert Costa.
Mamdani's team, I'm told, has long been averse to appearing on CBS given the coverage his campaign got from Weiss's The Free Press, but her recent social media post reacting with a fire emoji to an Iranian activist's diatribe against Mamdani was the "nail in the coffin" for him appearing on the network, two sources with knowledge told me. "Bari and her people have a clear axe to grind for him," said one former CBS producer. (CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.) And the network's turn away from news and toward opinion is proving to be a broader problem. "It's not just Zohran," the source said. "It's really

lol. CBS had been trying to get Zohran Mamdani for an interview, but Bari Weiss' deranged tweeting caused him to turn it down

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

Hear me out: it might suggest a level of state sanctioned and institutionally sanctioned violence that has had a chilling effect on campus protests, and led these students to direct their energies into other kinds of activities, which assumes they weren't expelled, thrown in jail, or deported.

Trio named to replace Alina Habba as U.S. attorney is also serving illegally, judge says The decision comes amid a growing standoff over U.S. attorney appointments among all three branches of government.

A federal judge ruled that the DOJ lawyers who replaced Alina Habba at the New Jersey US attorney’s office have been serving unlawfully, writing that the Trump admin has "chafed at the limits of their power set forth by the law and the Constitution," which requires advice and consent of the Senate.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

UBC hosted Rachel Maddow to discuss extremism and American global collapse. She brought two decades of research on a man picking trade wars with allies, threatening Greenland, and feuding with Canada’s Prime Minister. The Chan Centre was full. The irony was fuller.
