STEPHANOPOULOS: ProPublica reported that several members of the Trump administation have similar questions about their mortgages

VANCE: ProPublica is basically a left-wing blog

S: Do you dispute the facts they reported?

VANCE: I haven't read it. I have no idea. I certainly question the source

It was our fuck up but not our fault? Vance is such a slippery character

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6h

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Every accusation is a confession with this toxic and twisted crowd. Also of note, he is JD Vance’s puppet master: wapo.st/4q5wR6S

Rather than this justify yourself nonsense that treats adults like children, the correct question to ask to spur innovation and make people feel like they have a stake in transformation: What do you WANT to make? The onus is on the leaders to inspire and challenge and ask.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

One thing remains a constant: conservative or note, Marc A. Thiessen remains profoundly untalented and an exhausting nit.

Coincidentally, this is what @profgalloway.com — not a journalist — says to me before every @pivotpod.bsky.social except he just wants to talk about news ABOUT fucking and dick jokes inevitably follow. Same idea, I guess.

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."
