New statement from Scott Pelley:   There has never been anything in America like 60 Minutes.   The Sunday tradition is the most successful program of any kind in history. For more than a decade, its innovative growth on every major online platform has extended its reach to countless millions around the world. This spring, at the end of our 58thseason, 60 Minutes grew rapidly with an unheard-of 9% jump in viewers on CBS.   “60” has been the number-one program in America for decades because our beloved audience finds integrity, quality, and humanity in our stories. When stewardship of the program passed to my colleagues and me, our responsibility was to expand energetically into a new age of media technology while preserving the values our audience expects. Now, the new owner of our network is casting this legend aside, apparently to curry a moment of favor with the Trump administration.   The waste is heartbreaking.   Last month, 60 Minutes lost its DNA when our entire senior leadership and two of our best on-air correspondents were cruelly fired without cause. Good people were silenced because they stood up for our audience. They stood for fairness against the forces of political bias; they stood for professionalism against chaos.   For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them. Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done. Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.   At 60 Minutes, we have fought harder than anyone knows to save the program that became an American icon. We owed that to our millions of viewers. I am deeply moved by the thousands of wishes we have received to “keep up the good fight.” Most of the men and women of CBS News are still in that fight. But now the collapse of values at the top has become untenable. The leadership of 60 Minutes is no longer recognizable. The principles I hold dear are gone, and so I must leave as well.   I depart after 37 years at CBS with one emotion—a heart brimming with gratitude for the men and women of CBS News who encouraged and enriched my work, very often at the risk of their own lives. I pray for a day when those people and their ideals are honored again—a day when sanity, competence, and courage return.   Scott Pelley

One for the ages!

Thirteen families are planning funerals, and Trump is on TV saying "I get a kick" out of the low body count. This is what sociopathy looks like. He’s not grieving. He’s comparing casualties like it's a box score.

Trump is having a mental health episode right now. He’s been posting on social media all night. He posted at: 9:49pm (Ai Jesus photo) 9:50pm (Trump tower on moon) 10:10pm (dumb meme) 10:32pm (news clip) 10:53pm (news clip) 12:43am (announcing Hormuz blockade) 2:35am (article about Biden) 2:36am (article on naval blockade) 2:37am (article on Rep. Swalwell) 2:37am (posted the same article about Biden again) 2:38am (article on his ballroom) 4:10am (article on Iran) He’s not sleeping, he’s pretending to be Jesus, and he’s posting all night. He’s not well.

I had to turn it off. Amusing that *every* news channel in the UK is showing these meetings now. It's like having a webcam in a psychiatrists office pointing at the sofa.

Why? I like my friends.

He’s so Vain.

Quite an accomplishment!

Trump Supports the Protesters, Except Those Protesting Him: The split-screen television images of mass demonstrations in Minneapolis and Tehran have highlighted the president’s disparate views of democracy and popular dissent. nytimes.com/2026/01/13/us/po…

I believe today is an appropriate day to re-post 2016 Marco Rubio!

White guy here, just wondering what alternate universe the people in the video below live in that they were going around apologizing for being white for years and years because I personally have never done that myself or seen anyone ever do that except in a standup comedy routine

Marco Rubio (2016): “For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.”

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY TODAY - 72 - and all I want for my birthday is for you to RETWEET THIS VIDEO!

I'm sure she's praying about his health. What exactly she's praying for is up for debate.

This Trick is protecting the Pedo In Chief.

BREAKING: Beloved celebrity chef José Andrés publicly embarrasses Donald Trump by exposing his absurd lie that D.C. restaurants are being closed due to an imaginary crime wave. He really didn’t pull any punches here… “Mr. President @realdonaldtrump I understand why you are confused,” Andres wrote on X. “All your time in DC you haven’t eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel. I’ve lived here for 33 years, and it’s a flat out lie that half the restaurants have closed because of safety,” he went on. “But restaurants will close because you have troops with guns and federal agents harassing people...making people afraid to go out,” Andrés added. Trump previously claimed that "half the restaurants" in the city are "closed" because "nobody could go, because they were afraid to go outside." He used the flagrant fabrication to support his deployment of the National Guard to the city. "Now those restaurants are opening and new restaurants are opening up. It's like a boom town," Trump lied. Trump's deployment of thousands of heavily armed National Guard troops to the nation's capital has terrorized the inhabitants of the city for the sole purpose of allowing the convicted felon to play-act as a "law and order president." In reality, the city's violent crime rates recently hit a 30 year low. The domestic invasion also has the added benefit for Trump of distracting from his worsening Jeffrey Epstein scandal and his failed economic policies. He remains a reality television personality at heart, so his first instinct is always to distract and generate headlines rather than to actually solve problems. Not surprisingly, the deployment is proving deeply unpopular with the American people. A new Reuters/Ipsos poll discovered that just 38% of Americans support the use of troops for law enforcement in D.C. with 46% voicing opposition. The remaining percentage were unsure to declined to answer. Trump's laughable claim about violent crime also points towards a cornerstone of his worldview. He thinks that his supporters are so stupid, so helplessly gullible, that they'll take anything he says as Gospel truth. He can say that the streets are a war zone awash in blood and rather than look out the window and see the lie, MAGA voters will simply nod along in agreement. Unfortunately for them, the rest of us live in the real world. We're not falling for it and we're going to vote Republicans out of office en masse the first chance that we get. Please retweet and ❤️ if you oppose Trump's National Guard deployment!
