And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

Republicans can't govern. They come in, steal a bunch of money, and leave the wreckage for Democrats to fix. Then they whine that Democrats are not fixing things quickly enough. Over and over and over.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

If we still had a White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, they’d be in Tallahassee helping the community access federal resources for survivors, families, & students. Then they’d take what was learned to help prevent it from ever happening again. Trump killed it on day 2.

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

The level of evil and cruelty the Trump administration has to have to admit they made a mistake when sending Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador, then to turn right around and actively fight to keep him there is unimaginable.

The single most clarifying piece of journalism about Russell Brand that I've encountered is this video from @abbierichards.bsky.social. She charts Russell Brand's political evolution through his video content, and shows just how profitable a right wing grift can be. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo4g...

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Yesterday the US Senate voted 52-48 to block a rule that would’ve limited overdraft fees to $5. 52 Republicans voted yes while all 45 democrats, both independents and republican Josh Hawley of Missouri voted no. Republicans prove yet again that they work for the rich and not working class Americans.

Project 2025’s Education Department dismantling plan calls for moving oversight and implementation of funding for students with disabilities to HHS. Trump is using Project 2025 like a checklist.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121
