Hilarious. The second any Republican publicly disagrees with Trump about something he attacks them & goes after them. Has primaried dozens. Calls Greene a traitor. Attacked Indiana Repubs. This entire movement is viciously vindictive against anyone who dares to step out of line.

CBS News postponed a "60 Minutes" segment Sunday because it lacked a Trump admin interview, per an email we obtained from correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi, who said the decision by EIC Bari Weiss gave the White House a "kill switch." with @liamjscott.bsky.social

‘60 Minutes’ correspondent says CBS’s Bari Weiss abruptly pulled segment on Trump deportations
CBS News pulled a ‘60 Minutes’ segment about a prison in El Salvador one day before it was set to air because the Trump administration declined to participate.

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

What is striking here, of course, is that no one was apologizing for being white at any point, outside of some very unusual academic hothouse environments.
What the experience as 'apologizing for being white' is actually just 'accommodating non-white people living as full citizens and equals.'

Very weird take. The part I transcribed was the relevant part of Kaine’s answer and the rest of it was throat clearing, unless you think as Kaine does that Democrats are doing a good job right now forcing Trump to comply with the law.
Boy, cutting off the transcript at “I think that’s premature” when Kaine goes on to talk about all the other ways Congress has to force compliance in the full quote seems more than a little dishonest
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?

it’s sort of incredible to me that vance has apparently decided, of his own free will, that it’s his job to be even more viscerally unpleasant and personally charmless than spiro agnew, and that he seems to sincerely believe this will one day make him president
vance’s personal communication style is to behave like a preening, belligerent oaf in order to impress two 14 year old boys in one of the most racist group chats in history
