Tuesday's News Brief: At a private fundraiser, Ken Paxton said cuts to mandatory spending — mostly Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — are going to have to happen. "We have to suck it up." It's one of several leaks from the event. Afterward, he called Social Security a sacred promise.

Ossoff: "When the congressman voted for this Medicaid cuts, the largest in history, he knew that 50% of all births in our state are covered by Medicaid. He still voted for them. And as a result, a labor and delivery unit in his own district had to shut down. He also supports a total ban on abortion"

Excerpts from Michael Lewis on DOGE (Guardian article). 1. Gavin Kliger, white nationalist, refused to shake hands with the Black IRS staffer who briefed him on privacy issues. Or pay attention. Kliger now has a defense start-up valued at 1.4B thanks to DOGE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Phyllis, who loved working for Kathleen and saw falling on hand grenades as part of her job, never told her how this one had felt. She knew Gavin had expressed enthusiasm for white nationalists, and he likely knew that she knew. She tried to break the ice by walking in with her hand extended; Gavin stared at it and declined to shake it, though he had shaken the hands of the white men who had offered them. “He was kind of cool towards me,” said Phyllis. Before she could even start the briefing, he said, You know, I’ve heard these rules before at other agencies. Yes, she said, but these rules are different, because no other agency is governed by this privacy law, and this law can get you thrown in jail very quickly. As she walked him through the basics – how you can’t use your personal phone for business, how if you happen to so much as glimpse a form 1040 with someone’s name on it you must avert your eyes – Gavin played on his phone. “He’s multitasking right in front of me, typing and texting,” said Phyllis. “It was, here’s a routine that I must endure.”

WOW. Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, among others, "chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an impeccable record of public service. ... The attacks against Ms. Comans were based entirely on false information" and many officials "knew [they] were untrue."

In conducting this hearing, the Court is not called upon to resolve factual disputes between
the parties. The facts set forth in this Memorandum Opinion and Order were proposed by the
Plaintiff, unobjected to by the Government, and then deemed admitted by the Court. Dkts. 74, 75,
77.2 These facts establish that high-ranking government officials, including then Secretary of DHS
Kristi Noem and Elon Musk, engaged in a coordinated public relations campaign to impugn the
personal and professional integrity of Ms. Comans. For reasons unfathomable to this Court,
officials chose to turn the power of the federal government against a singular employee with an
impeccable record of public service. In short, Ms. Comans was professionally targeted and
personally attacked by government officials for no legitimate reason. The attacks against Ms.
Comans were based entirely on false information, and many government officials knew the
accusations were untrue at the time they were made. With no regard for the truth and with no
consideration for the personal and professional effect on Ms. Comans, government officials
exploited their access to mass media outlets to broadcast false information. These false
statements reached hundreds of millions of people. The purpose of this Order is, to the best of
this Court’s ability, to correct the public record and establish as a matter of law that the
statements made by these officials about Ms. Comans were objectively and demonstrably false.

NEWS: CBS News foreign editor Shayndi Raice held a "completely unhinged" all-hands meeting at the network's foreign bureau today, in response to this @oliverdarcy.bsky.social story about Raice pushing back on foreign correspondent Holly Williams's 10/7 story. www.status.news/p/bari-weiss...

Meanwhile, last week, CBS News marked the anniversary of the horrific October 7 terror attack with reports from foreign correspondent Holly Williams. Her morning piece prominently addressed the devastation that Israel's ensuing war had inflicted on Gaza, with Gayle King introducing it by mentioning the staggering death toll. That report, which was critical of Israel, appeared to make it onto the air without incident.

But something peculiar happened later in the day.

Williams was working on a separate report for the "CBS Evening News" and planned to include the death toll from the war in Gaza. That would have provided viewers with important context about the consequences of the conflict that followed the October 7 attack. But Status has learned that Williams received pushback when CBS News brass saw it in her script.

The pushback, Status has learned, was delivered by Weiss' handpicked foreign editor, Shayndi Raice. (Remember, Weiss dismissed former foreign chief Claire Day amid friction over the network's coverage of Israel, as Status previously reported.) I’m told that there were discussions about how to potentially note the tens of thousands who have been killed in the wake of the October 7 attack, but ultimately the context was omitted from the “Evening News” piece.

Indeed, Williams' report aired without mentioning the nearly 75,000 people, many of them children, who have been killed in Gaza during the war, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

While ABC's "World News with David Muir" devoted only a handful of seconds to marking the anniversary of the terror attack, the "CBS Evening News" report stood in particularly stark contrast to the package that aired on "NBC Nightly News." The NBC report prominently acknowledged the enormous death toll in Gaza and the broader devastation the war had inflicted across the region.

Suffice to say, I’m told Williams was frustrated by the intervention from CBS News leadership. In fact, I’m told the matter has prompted her to seriously weigh her long-term future at the network and whether she would like to remain at CBS News.

The CBS News spokesperson did not provide comment on the incident with Williams.
