My turn from investigating Pentagon failures to provide body armor in Iraq to probing big food was like going from one war to another. What we eat, and how they manipulate us, has never mattered more. cbsnews.com/video/author-mic…

My @nytopinion colleague @ezraklein on how an obsession with efficiency can cost us our humanity — in this case, in how we (mis)treat pigs on factory farms, and how some in Congress aim to make this trade off worse. nytimes.com/2026/06/14/opini…

I really like that animal well-being is an issue that many on the right and left agree on.

NEW: Sharyn Alfonsi goes scorched earth on Bari Weiss:
"Over the weekend, my contract with CBS News expired, drawing to a close nearly twenty years with the network, including more than a decade at 60 Minutes.
Following an intense editorial dispute over our CECOT story, repeated attempts by my representation to establish a path forward were met with absolute silence from network executives. The message could not be clearer: my time at 60 Minutes is apparently over.
In the coming days, network leadership may attempt to hide behind corporate euphemisms like "modernization" and “restructuring” to explain away my departure. Don't be misled. This was not a routine corporate transition; it was a deliberate choice to penalize a journalist for refusing to sanitize factually accurate reporting, and it sends a chilling message to the entire newsroom.
Fearless, independent reporting has always been the defining standard at 60 Minutes. Today, CBS management is abandoning that mission, choosing access journalism over accountability and protecting power rather than scrutinizing it.
The wall between editorial independence and corporate interest at CBS is being methodically torn down. Journalists willing to challenge authority are being pushed aside in favor of those who will not. If this continues, the result will be a broadcast that looks like 60 Minutes but lacks the courage and character to produce journalism that matters.
To my colleagues, who became family - working beside you has been the privilege of a lifetime. You are second to none. I’ve learned exactly what it costs to hold the line right now. Hold it anyway. Viewers and the people who trust us with their stories deserve nothing less."

More evidence that politics, not scientific integrity or a genuine effort to make America healthy, has driven the MAHA movement from the start.

Just an amazing story by Linda Qui. Not only is the @USDA acknowledging labor shortages brought on by Trump immigration policies. It is expanding temporary visas for farm workers AND lowering migrant worker pay, effectively allowing indentured service. nytimes.com/2026/03/15/us/po…

The Starbucks CEO can write-off the cost of his private jet on his taxes because it’s considered a business expense.
But Starbucks baristas can’t write off the clothing they have to buy to adhere to the Starbucks dress code.
This is what an anti-worker tax code looks like.
Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol makes $95,801,676 a year, while the average Starbucks worker makes under $15K.
