@katiecouric.bsky.social Katie, I read that you said Bari Weiss had no choice re Scott Pelley? Getting angry is not insubordination! It struck me that you may feel bitter toward Pelley and others because you weren’t respected by them at CBS. But if you take your (in)experience compared to theirs?!

The modern United States has experienced 11 recessions. Ten have happened under Republican presidents. This isn’t a coincidence. They screw things up because they try to impose a fairy tale on the country. trib.al/E7ZSg5V

Donald Trump is different in many ways from the Republican presidents who preceded him. But there’s one way he’s exactly the same.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social I can’t stand Rosie Perez and I have always felt this way. NOT one of the “best people” and including her takes you down a notch too! I was disgusted at some of her obnoxious remarks - Trump is “so smart” for showing up at a “fight!” She is boring and not very smart.

Why did Trump move Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed? She was sentenced to 20 years in prison for trafficking and raping children. He didn’t just move her. He gave her a puppy. I want the press to ask this question every single day. Not just of Blanche and Bondi. Ask Trump.

Someone please tell me why Megyn Kelly is posting videos calling Alex Pretti an “agitator” -and worse - who interfered with law enforcement? She is mocking celebrities for voicing their disgust and anguish. Oblivious to the fact that SHE is a celebrity. She is lying and knows it. What an evil bitch.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.
