'Outlander': A TV treasure begins its final season

The Supreme Court has struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, which we've been paying for about a year now. This is good news for the American people - and it's the latest proof that this president, no matter what he says, can be stopped.
Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants

Trump's racist post about Obamas is deleted after backlash despite White House earlier defending it

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:
Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

The American Academy of Pediatrics & several other medical groups can move forward w/ a lawsuit challenging RFKjr's vaccine policies. A federal judge rejected arguments from Trump regime lawyers who say the medical organizations can't show the policies cause harm www.msn.com/en-us/health...
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”
This message hits hard.
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we
have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.
We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

Once upon a time — and when it really counted — CBS News stood up to power. Now, it is an accomplice to censorship.

My retirement party from Newsday with Good friends and colleagues.
Statement on the Brown University shooting.
NEW: GOP lawyer Eric Neff, a new DOJ attorney helping to push for state voter records, previously represented a top conspiracy theorist involved in Trump's 2020 election subversion — a tie underscoring the alarming shift in the DOJ from defending to attacking voting rights.
My retirement dinner either Newsday and former Newsday colleagues.
I’ve retired from Newsday after 32years!
@npr it’s not a principle. It is a constitutional guarantee.
Me with Newsday editor in chief Rochell Bishop Sleets at my retirement send off. 32 years at Newsday comes to a close tomorrow.
It’s one more day until I retire from Newsday after 32 years. They gave me a wonderful send off this afternoon. It’s been 42 years in journalism overall. Now I’ll be a different kind of laborer in the vineyard!

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.
The continued failure of mainstream media to recognize or acknowledge the racial demographic anxiety undergirding and enabling the political moment and eroding of democracy, government and the safety net, is an abdication that makes us complicit.
They have 32 ABC stations not 200.
It’s fabricated.
