This was chilling. Grateful for 60 Minutes, its brave guests, Scott Pelley and Lesley Stahl leading interviews on what’s going down at DOJ, FBI and CFPB. Without fear or favor. Please make sure to watch. And share with everyone you know to watch. It matters.

The only minority destroying America is the billionaires. Here in Texas, a group of billionaires are trying to dismantle our public schools with a private school voucher scam. If they want to close our schools, Texans have 4 words for them: Come and Take It.

This is not an unimportant question. Remember Trump's social media plea on January 12 for someone to "SAVE RUDY!!!"?Evidently someone did.

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC. There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA. Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

Unless overcome, blue state NIMBYism is going to grow Republicans' electoral college advantage and price millions of people from targeted populations out of the opportunity to find sanctuary under anti-MAGA legal regimes.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

A senior Treasury Department official delivered a memo warning Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that granting a 25-year-old computer engineer with Elon Musk’s DOGE access to the government’s ultra-sensitive payments system risked exposing highly classified CIA payments that flow through it.

MSNBC is canceling shows hosted by Jonathan Capehart, Ayman Mohyeldin, and Katie Phang. Capehart is a Black gay man, Mohyeldin is an Egyptian American Muslim, and Phang is Asian American. Looks like MSNBC leaked the news to the right-wing New York Post, owned by Rupert Murdoch.

Mitch McConnell on the Ukraine war: "Blame for this human catastrophe rests solely on Vladimir Putin … If Russian forces laid down their arms, Europe would be at peace. If Ukrainian forces laid down theirs, Putin's aims would not stop … Mistaking this fact is as embarrassing as it is costly."

NEW: I've now heard both from within SSA and USDA that emails just went out telling all employees that the Doge/Musk Threat email is voluntary after all. That's just 2 parts of the federal govt. But given timing and context I suspect this means the White House intervened and shut this down.
