Corrupt Trump passes $1 trillion of our tax dollars to the top 1%, paid by destroying our healthcare & social services. Consumer prices keep going up, while wannabe king Trump builds a vulgar, gold ballroom. He's happy to exploit us & lie to us. Say NO.

Trump & the GOP did this. They are 100% responsible for your financial suffering. When asked about skyrocketing costs & the pressure on Americans, Trump’s response was that he was not concerned about you. This Nov, right the ship by voting blue. Put in a Congress willing to check him. #ProudBlue

This week, the GOP is expected to try to shovel $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol (while giving Trump $1 billion for a ballroom). If you’re represented by a Republican, they need to hear from you — urge the GOP to reject the MAGA spending bill and focus on funding our communities.

-$70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol. -$1 billion for a ballroom. -$1.8 billion to cut checks to convicted January 6 insurrectionists. -Billions more for an illegal war. These are Trump’s demands as the American people struggle to afford groceries and rent.

The South Carolina Senate president went on record recently saying he was against this, but Trump is threatening him. Unlike Tennessee, this is one of the states where a dummymander really is possible (SC-01 is mildly competitive as it is).

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:
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, wehave 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
