The president thinks there’s “something wrong with a country” that protects freedom of speech and of the press in the Constitution he took an oath to uphold. I think there’s something disturbing and wrong with such a president, and his “displeasure” shouldn’t be our problem. With alt text:
The president attributed the ban to his displeasure with the outlets' coverage of his administration. "There's something wrong with a country that can allow people to write purposely negative stories," Mr. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Friday atternoon.

"Now, if they want to write them, that's fine, but I don't have to let them into my - into the people's house," the president added.

"At a moment of profound distrust in politics, our job is not to preserve decades-old communications norms or protect the gatekeepers who once controlled access to public information," Ms. Rowland said.

"The monopolization of the media has resulted in legacy press hemorrhaging readers and viewers, essential reporting often locked behind paywalls, and ownership increasingly concentrated in the hands of a small number of wealthy corporations and billionaires who exert their own editorial agendas over the news," she added.

Todd Blanche’s ongoing representation of Trump as a defense attorney rather than of the people of the United States is an ethical trainwreck that will not be resolved “by Tuesday,” for Christ’s sake. Call Tillis and/or your senators, esp. if they serve on the Judiciary Committee: 202-224-3121.

Despite comments as late as yesterday that the fund is dead, President Trump clearly intends to resurrect the payout pot for punks either by inappropriately establishing another bogus fund or pushing Congress to vote for a bill that the majority of Republicans in the Senate would be against.

It's unfortunate that Todd Blanche, who I consider qualified for the job, will not be confirmed because of this reversal. Hopefully, we can resolve this by Tuesday.

Sullivan & Cromwell. Absolutely untrustworthy.
From the article: A powerful Wall Street law firm with close ties to President Donald Trump has joined his effort to persuade the U.S. Supreme Court to throw out the $83.3 million defamation verdict won by writer E. Jean Carroll.

The move marks a reversal for Sullivan & Cromwell, which had previously indicated it would not handle the high-profile case after taking Trump on as a client earlier this year, according to The Wall Street Journal.

This is from the 2011 #WHCA dinner that set eggshell-egoed Trump on the road to racist retribution that requires, it seems, quite a lot of misery and destruction. In it, Obama understates the horrific changes Trump would make to the White House. youtube.com/shorts/4H47R...

With alt text. Nick Bilton is a sad little wanker.
Team,

You should hear this from me first. We have parted ways with Scott Pelley.

I know how much Scott meant to many of you, and I don't say this lightly. I made repeated attempts to have direct conversations with him over the weekend, and this afternoon I tried to find common ground. That was not the path Scott chose.

What I regret most is that this situation interfered with the conversation I had hoped to have with you about Season 59 and the future of this show. I realize this is a great deal of change in a very short time, and I wouldn't pretend otherwise.

I won't relitigate the last week with you here. What I will commit to is this: My unyielding support for each of you, the journalism that you do and what we will do together going forward.

Nick

With alt text. Nick Bilton is a cowardly, unworthy, little bitch.
Dear Mr. Pelley:

I meant what I said in my letter last week to the 60 Minutes team: joining 60 Minutes is the honor of my career and I am grateful to be working alongside the people who have contributed to the most important television journalism brand this country has ever produced. While I'm new to 60 Minutes, I've devoted my career to investigative journalism and storytelling. I started this job excited to collaborate and to benefit from the wisdom and experience of the 60 Minutes veterans, with you among them. For that reason, one of the first things I did in my new role was call you to talk and invite you to dinner. It is a profound disappointment that you rejected that overture and chose ambush instead. Yesterday, you hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt. I welcome a diversity of viewpoints and respectful debate among the team, but this was nothing of the sort. Yesterday's performative display of hostility-enacted in front of the staff instead of in a civil, private conversation-demonstrated that you have no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress. I am here to deliver first-in-class news programming, not to make headlines about newsroom drama. I am eager to work alongside those who share this goal.

Despite yesterday's misconduct, I had hoped that in sitting down with you today we could find a path forward together. You made clear that you are not interested in such a path.
Your antipathy to the future of the show has come through loud and clear. And I have heard you.

I therefore write on behalf of CBS News, Inc. ("CBS") to inform you that your employment with CBS is terminated for cause effective immediately. Enclosed is your formal termination letter.

Sincerely,
Nick Bilton
Executive Producer, 60 Minutes

Trump: You know I'm not a king, I get it, I don't laugh, I don't, 1, I see these No Kings which are funded just like the southern law was funded. You all that southern laws, financing the KKK and lots of other radical, terrible groups. And then they go out and they say, oh, we've got to stop the KKK. And yet they give them hundreds of thousands and even millions of dollars. They work. It's a total scam run by the Democrats. It shows you that, like Charlottesville,
Charlottesville was all funded by the southern law. That was a southern law deal, too. And it was done to make me look bad. And it turned out to be a total fake. It basically was, a rigged election. This was a part of the rigging of the election. And that's what you really should be doing. I mean, I hope one of your '60 Minute' episodes, which really hasn't changed very much

Oppositional defiant disorder—it’s pathological. And extremely unpleasant. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposit...
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, Text revision (DSM-IV-TR) (now replaced by DSM-5) states that a person must exhibit four out of the eight signs and symptoms to meet the diagnostic threshold for ODD.[8] These symptoms include:

- Often loses temper
- Is often touchy or easily annoyed
- Is often angry and resentful
- Often argues with authority figures or, for children and adolescents, with adults
- Often actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules
- Often deliberately annoys others
- Often blames others for their own mistakes or misbehavior
- Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past six months[2][9]

These behaviors are mostly directed towards an authority figure such as a teacher or a parent.

Let me get all of this straight in my head. They want their allies to join in an ill-thought-out war of choice with unclear aims and an uncertain chance of success for any of the myriad aims stated so far. They want everyone else to just absorb any of the externalities like influxes of refugees, disruptions to shipping, higher oil and commodity prices and maybe even some incoming missiles. And then they also want to tariff everyone at 15%.

I'm not sure they can keep pushing at everyone all at once indefinitely. There seems to be an inability here not just to anticipate second and third order effects, but even just to model a response from any other party, much less every other party.

It’s insulting even to the very limited intelligence of Trump supporters that he, congressional GOP, and billionaire-owned news media expect us to forget that Trump canceled the Iran nuclear deal that Obama negotiated, the JCPOA. abcnews.com/Politics/ira...
Nearly 10 years ago, the United States and other world powers reached a landmark nuclear agreement with Iran.

Known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA, the deal followed two years of negotiations. Then-President Barack Obama, who campaigned on resolving the Iranian nuclear threat, called the issue the "most consequential foreign policy debate that our country has had since the invasion of Iraq."

Two years after the deal went into effect, President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the nuclear accord, in one of the most significant foreign policy actions during his first term as president.

Several witnesses have already been transported to the Whipple building. ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but O'Hara refused, sources said.

O'Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene. The BCA was enroute to the scene.

• "Captured" - Please attribute this to the U.S. description of the operation. Example: "The U.S. said Maduro was captured during the operation."

• "Seized" - Acceptable for use in our own reporting where appropriate.

• Avoid using "Kidnapped."

“PSA”
In his first comments since Maduro was captured, Vice President JD Vance applauded the success of the mission and defended the legality of it.

"PSA for everyone saying this was 'illegal':
Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism," he wrote on social media. "You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

Vance added that Trump offered "multiple off ramps" but that the president was adamant that "the drug trafficking must stop" and that "the stolen oil" had to be returned to the U.S.
