Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

Great show last night! #nola #lucydarling #carisahendrix

Cleo Fields, Jeff Landry, and your tax dollars. Cleo has a 30 year pattern you need to know about. 1997: FBI video catches Fields accepting $25,000 cash from Edwin Edwards, the governor later convicted of federal racketeering, who tells Fields to make sure “everyone is careful how that’s handed out.” Fields is never charged but quietly does not seek reelection. He spends the next 28 years bouncing between the state Senate and private practice, amassing an estimated $38 million net worth on a government salary that never exceeded $20K as a state senator. January 2024: Landry takes office as governor. Cameron Henry becomes Senate President. Fields is immediately handed the chairmanship of Senate and Governmental Affairs, one of the most powerful committee seats in the legislature because the chair controls which bills get scheduled. Fields had quietly supported Landry over Shawn Wilson in the gubernatorial race, helping Landry win the primary. That chairmanship put Fields in direct control of the redistricting process, where he helped draw his own congressional district. November 2024: Fields wins that congressional seat. 2025: His first year in Congress, Louisiana’s Republican legislature appropriates $500,000 to the Louisiana Leadership Institute, Fields’ personal nonprofit. Then Fields is caught buying up to $300,000 in Oracle stock days before Trump’s TikTok executive order made Oracle’s role public. Fields sits on the House Financial Services Committee overseeing capital markets. No charges filed. 2026: Landry signs SB 121 eliminating Fields’ district entirely. Same session, the legislature passes two enrolled bills sending an additional $1.1 million to Fields’ nonprofit. Rep. Jack McFarland chaired the Appropriations Committee that produced HB 1 and authored HB 312. The HB 312 line item contains zero purpose language. Just the name and the number. While this money was moving, the Louisiana Leadership Institute broke ground on a $3 million amphitheater. Total state funding across two sessions: $1.6 million to a sitting congressman’s personal nonprofit. This is the uniparty taking care of itself, protecting itself, and operating like a business, and we are the ones funding it. #lalege #lagov

Soon: “I’m Scott Baio.” “I’m Patricia Heaton.” “I’m Kevin Sorbo.” “I’m Roseanne Barr.” “I’m Andrew Tate. Those stories, plus Tony Hinchcliffe, tonight on 60 Minutes.”

Hey @StubHub today my son and I decided to buy tickets on your app for the Braves Pirates game Saturday June 6th and the price for EVERY single ticket on my son’s account in the stadium is less expensive than every ticket offered to me on my account for the exact same section, row & seat number. I opted this time to pay $10 more per ticket > $116 > for section 137 when my son had them available for $106 ONLY because Chase gives me a $150 credit every 6 months. I took my screenshot below after I bought my $116 tickets but you can see in every other section the pricing difference. Are you charging @Chase cardholders more because I get a $150 semi-annual credit with Chase Sapphire Reserve every 6 months? I can’t figure out any other reason why I have to pay more? What’s the deal here? I called your customer service and they couldn’t answer the question!

The U.S. is now spending more on data center construction than on public transportation infrastructure, according to new Census Bureau figures out today (bloomberg.com/news/articles/…)

Word on the street is @LAGovJeffLandry/@JeffLandry skipped town to go hunting in Argentina. Coincidently so did the donor, Boysie Bollinger, he went with last time. #lalege #lagov

FactCheckGovLandry @ag_landry

a year ago

“In August, @LAGovJeffLandry/@JeffLandry flew on Bollinger’s plane on a previously undisclosed trip to go dove hunting in Argentina.” So we’re letting journos just gloss over the obvious ethics violations of gifted interactional travel now?

Dear TX MAGA: when they tell you #Talarico is ‘trans’, what they’re really telling you is 3 things: they’re terrified he’s gonna win; they think you’re so fucking stupid that you’ll believe this idiotic bullshit; & they have NO plan to fix your affordability issues. GET ANGRY!

This is a 6-minute Republican video outlining Ken Paxton’s corruption. This now “unlisted” YouTube video was repeatedly sent out by the NRSC. It’s devastating.

I'm just not willing to play the game with these people anymore. A DNC staffer posted "shut up you ugly fuck" to Stephen Miller. OK Trump posts former black presidents as apes, he calls women "dogs" and "piggy", he posts himself in a jet dumping shit on the American people. He posted himself adorned as Jesus Christ and pretended he thought it was a doctor. He implied "Trump Derangement Syndrome" was a factor in Rob Reiner's death. He straight out posted in celebration of Robert Muellers death. He openly threatened genocide of Iran. And I'm supposed to play along as MAGA Republicans act all appalled because Stephen Miller got called ugly? Honestly MAGA, just shut the fuck up at this point. You guys are old news. You're the old political movement that failed. Just stop it already.

Ken Paxton gave hoffman a slap on the wrist for sexually abusing a young boy over a 3 year period. The young boy was 6 years old when the abuse started and 10 when he reported it. Pedophile protectors cannot be normalized.

We were going to send out a reminder of why Ken Paxton is so terrible. But the NRSC already did it for us.

NRSC is also actively scrubbing their website on Ken Paxton releases. So embarrassing.

The Republican Party quietly deleted their own ad attacking Ken Paxton's record on crime... because Paxton is now the Republican Party's nominee to represent Texas in the U.S. Senate. Figured if the ad is important enough to delete, it's important enough to see...

Adam Hoffman raped his son’s best friend for 3 years First-degree felony. Life without parole. Ken Paxton’s office gutted it to 60 days. He walked free after 30. No sex offender registration. His record scrubbed clean. Texas protects predators with power!

This is Ken Paxton's mugshot. He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud. He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery. He was impeached by his own party for corruption. Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas. Together we will stop him.
