It's 2025, and we're sharing bootleg 60 Minutes segments broadcast in other countries because our own country is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers, just as the Founding Fathers intended, of course.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Fragile men like Trump and Hegseth can't stand seeing women accomplish things they know they're incapable of doing, and they know that millions of their male supporters feel the same way. There is a festering, enraged insecurity at the core of this.
