What businesses has Warren started, run and made successful? What jobs has she ever created that don't use other people's money? Zuckerberg's yachts cost about $45 million a year to run. That includes crew salaries, supplies, fuel and equipment. All that $ goes back into the economy.
Mark Zuckerberg’s $300 MILLION yacht arrived in Seattle the same day Meta cut 1,400 jobs—part of a larger round of 14,000 job cuts. Nothing says our economy is broken like billionaires sailing around on yachts while workers are left out to dry.

Sheryl. Your article exemplifies the biased reporting we have come to expect from you and @nytimes. It was unfair, inimical, and inaccurate. All one needs to refute your argument is to glance at my publicly available calendar and to review my unprecedented list of accomplishments on a wide range of issues, all of which I drove. You evidently never undertook these foundational due diligences. Why let facts obscure a good story? You fault me for missing a couple of monthly counselor meetings. However, I meet one-on-one with my counselors every day to decide policy and strategy. We schedule the monthly meetings to give the divisions a chance to keep each other informed about HHS-wide policies with which I’m already intimately familiar. Had you read my calendar, you would have seen that I have back-to-back meetings all day, every day, with both career and political staff, with my counselors and with outside stakeholders, interspersed with press conferences and other policy announcements. I am knowledgeable and active on every issue in every division of my department, and I always make the final decisions. I meet with the principals at FDA, NIH, CDC, and my senior counselor every morning, something, I’m told, is unprecedented in HHS history. I try to get out of the office between 4:30 and 6:00 PM, so that I can spend three hours, in quiet, responding to emails. I normally work until 11 PM every night, mostly on phone calls to staff. In order to prove your preconceived case for my disengagement, you quote anonymous employees, some of whom I fired or who quit to avoid being fired. You also deceptively quote HHS employees without identifying whether they were among those I fired, thereby depriving your readers of the opportunity to make an independent judgment about their credibility. I came into this job to change the culture of a broken agency that has presided over the worst decline in public health in American history. Of course I fired people—lots of them! It's an easy task for even the laziest journalist, to comb that flotsam and jetsam for malevolence toward the Trump administration. And of course, this species of journalist will always be able to find disgruntled individuals among the 70,000 employees of the Department from whom to cherry pick "facts" to flesh out a preordained hit piece. All that is required for this brand of journalism is the ethical elasticity that you seem to have in spades. You had a preconceived thesis, and you set out to prove it. This is a widely accepted technique in journalism today, but I grew up in an era when it would not have been tolerated by the New York Times. Ultimately, God puts us all on this earth to search for existential truths. I've tried to instill this mission at HHS by implementing gold standard research to end the regime of politicized science that COVID exposed to the American public. There was a time that journalists were proud to be the fearless and uncompromising champions of truth. Standards have devolved, and journalism is dead. The Times now employs propagandists. Your capitulation to partisanship further compounds your journalistic challenges; since we all are aware of your predictable bias, we at HHS are unwilling to talk to you about the topics that are important. The fact that you have minimal access to decision makers leaves you covering trivia and relying on your own capacity for invention. Btw. When I took this job, the building was empty. About 90% of the employees were not coming to work. I changed that, but your newspaper never covers my reforms. Nor did you cover the fact that my predecessor almost never showed up for work here during his four years in office. When we came in, there were still artifacts from the first Trump administration in many of our office drawers because no one showed up for work during the Biden years. Just as Rochelle Walensky spent her entire term as CDC Director in Cambridge, Xavier Becerra reportedly spent most of his term as HHS Secretary in California. (I live in California, but I’ve only been there once in fifteen months). His only notable accomplishments here were losing 300,000 children, referred to HHS for custody and care, to human traffickers and drug runners, encouraging transgender surgeries, and disabling the entire program-integrity apparatus, allowing hundreds of billions of dollars of theft from my agency. I have set out to find the children Becerra lost. He is now the front-runner for the governor of California. These are not invented stories; they are genuine scandals that the Times will never cover, presumably, because the malefactors are Democrats. Finally, you criticize me for spending time with the Indian tribes in Alaska. I consider that part of my job. I run the Indian Health Services, and I’ve had unprecedented success in transforming IHS from a backwater to a top priority for this department. I’ve made more trips to Indian country and to Indian health clinics and hospitals than any HHS secretary in history, and I’ve brought Indians into high positions on the sixth floor for the first time in agency history. This is another success story that the Times will never cover.

Let’s Make a Deal: If you want your FISA Section 702 — @LeaderJohnThune — so badly, then provide for an amendment to require the gov’t to seek a warrant for US citizens & attach the SAVE America Act. You get what you want — we get what we want. Deal?
Without Democrat cooperation, the Section 702 program will go dark in four days. America’s enemies, however, will not go dark. I hope my Democrat colleagues will rethink their decision to hold the program hostage before we all have cause to regret the consequences.

Wow. ActBlue CEO takes the 5th to all questions by House Oversight including whether the org took foreign & Russian donations and whether the org's in-house legal team quit over lowered fraud standards. ActBlue is a money laundering operation for the DNC and the left.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. ActBlue just PLED THE 5TH and REFUSED to answer about getting foreign donations infiltrating US politics on behalf of Democrats She wouldn't even refute getting RUSSIAN money! 🤯 ActBlue is a FRAUD group. Shut it down! REP. JIM JORDAN: Your board chairman said ActBlue accepted up to 38 million contributions in 2024 that had the signs of foreign origin. How much fraud is too much fraud? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: How many foreign contributions did ActBlue accept? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: How much money did ActBlue accept from Russia? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: Why did your entire legal team quit? Your in-house legal team? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: Did your legal team quit because of reduced fraud standards? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. JORDAN: We won't keep you here all day, but let me just do one more. Did you weaken your fraud standards to help Democrats? ACTBLUE: On the advice of counsel, I respectfully declined to answer the question pursuant to my Fifth Amendment rights under the Constitution. Absolutely insane.

What? Korbel? I was told we'd at least get Veuve Clicquot.
New: I am told by a few sources that Lesley Stahl led a champagne toast for some '60 Minutes' staffers yesterday. She told staff that David Ellison had called her and pledged that the show would be independent and also apologized for some of the recent turmoil and said things would get back on the right track. I am told that one staffer did push back and note that Ellison had previously pledged editorial independence for the show when he first met with the team after acquiring Paramount...

I worked as a marketing & communications exec for years. I had more respect for PR flacks than I did for many who called themselves "journalists". In reality, most were advocates or simply hacks looking for a gotcha moment. Sorry we cut everything you said after the word "but".
Replying to @lyndseyfifield
I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists. As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them. But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed. After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)? Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate? Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never). Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal? The editors said it was too much, they explained. The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so. It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life. And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it. Still fawning after all these years.

Pelley probably had someone change out his usual Yacht Club flag for an American flag just so he could pose harder.
Former “60 Minutes” correspondent Scott Pelley took to Instagram on Saturday to thank his fans for their support after the program’s new executive producer, Nick Bilton, fired him after an explosive confrontation. “To all of you who have been so kind, you are the wind in my sails. So deeply grateful,” Pelley wrote, along with a photo of him looking elated at the helm of his sailboat. variety.com/2026/tv/news/sco…

Soon to be SAGGY-AFTER AI. These people will be rendered irrelevant in a few years.
SAG-AFTRA says it “condemns CBS News management’s continued assault on the foundations of CBS News.” “The company’s latest decision to terminate several veteran journalists from ‘60 Minutes’ is shocking,” the union said, adding that the move “can only be seen as part of a broader strategy to gut the crucial independent journalism that is so important to our democratic system.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/wga…

Good on Nick Bilton for firing Scott Pelley. He was clearly making himself out as more important than the team or management. Cleaning up toxic work environments is not easy but it has to be done. Good job @bariweiss, @nickbilton and @CBSNews. I've done it twice in my career. The companies were ultimately better off and after a month or two, no one thought twice about what happened. cnn.com/2026/06/02/media/sco…

Hello Congressman. You of all people should know the National Mall including the Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool is managed by the National Park Service. This restoration project is exactly the type of project the Great America Outdoors Act and Legacy Restoration Fund was created to address - maintenance backlogs. You voted for it. We support it because the oil and gas royalties we pay are directed into both of these funds. Not entrance fees. Oil and gas royalties from federal lands. In other words, this awesome upgrade to the National Mall is brought to you by your friends at the US Oil & Gas Association. And yet you have never thanked us. Here is a report from the Congressional Research Service the intern who wrote this tweet can read to learn more. congress.gov/crs-product/IF1…
The next time you pull up to a national park and pay the entrance fee, know this: Our parks have $23 billion in repairs that have never been made. But instead of prioritizing that our national parks are clean, maintained, and ready for your next visit, the President is spending some of the money on vanity projects like painting the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool blue. nytimes.com/2026/05/27/clima…
