As the son of a lifelong CBS executive who worked on so many great CBS News broadcasts, thank you very much Sarah Safer for speaking out about this horror.

"The most trusted and esteemed program in American journalism, the legacy of our loved ones’ hard work and its accompanying sacrifices on the home front, has, in [Scott] Pelley’s words, been murdered," writes Sarah Safer, daughter of Morley Safer, who was a 60 Minutes correspondent for 46 years.

Worth watching. In six minutes, Bruce Springsteen summarized the many outrages we are living through. youtu.be/4oJHVBwJbuw?...

"Ms. Alfonsi’s deal expired on Saturday. She said in a phone interview that her agent’s inquiries with CBS News over the past several weeks had been met with silence." Bari and CBS News are straight-up just ghosting one of 60 Minutes' top correspondents. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/b...

Three cheers for @repgreglandsman.bsky.social for co-sponsoring HR 6130, the ASAP Act, to provide Medicare coverage for the blood tests to screen people for Alzheimer's. I have campaigned for Greg since early in his 2022 campaign, & he continues to make me proud. #endalz

Big thanks to @repemiliasykes.bsky.social & her great team for co-sponsoring HR 6130, the ASAP Act, to ensure that Medicare covers blood tests to screen people for Alzheimer's. #endalz

It doesn’t have to be this way. Individuals, communities, workplaces and health care can work together to reduce dementia risk. Learn more and share the facts. alz.org/facts #ENDALZ #AlzheimersInAmerica

Big thanks to @repaprildelaney.bsky.social for co-sponsoring the ASAP Act to require Medicare to cover Alzheimer's blood tests & the AADAPT Act to train doctors online. On behalf of so many in Western Maryland & all over Maryland, thanks to @repaprildelaney.bsky.social for her leadership. #endalz

The President's budget proposes to cut Alzheimer's research by over $300 million. Absolutely unacceptable, and every Member of Congress on both sides of the aisle should speak out against this outrageous proposal. #endalz

Absolutely inappropriate and galling that the head of NIH is speaking at an ultra right wing political event. How about if he focuses on doing his job. #endalz

Confirmed: Director of the National Institutes of Health Jay Bhattacharya for CPAC USA 2026, March 25-28, in Grapevine, Texas. science and politics don't mix🤔

Truly a disaster. The World News Roundup, the flagship CBS News radio broadcast, started in 1938. Survived through so much, but could not survive Bari Weiss.

Karen Attiah@karenattiah.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Wow. Just announced-- Bari Weiss and co. are shutting down CBS News Radio. deadline.com/2026/03/cbs-...

Son of a lifelong CBS exec here. My dad kept a picture of Murrow in his office & worked on Cronkite's team for years. He & his colleagues excelled by getting the news on the air first & getting it right. Laying off employees, keeping stories off the air & cheering a fascist President is not OK.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 5mo ago

CBS News employees received the following message from Bari Weiss and Tom Cibrowski informing them that massive layoffs are taking place.

Great meeting w/@repaprildelaney.bsky.social to discuss Alzheimer's-- bills to require Medicare to cover Alzheimer's blood tests (H.R. 6130), to educate clinicians on Alzheimer's (H.R. 3747), & for a tax credit for caregivers (H.R. 2036). Looking forward to working w/her on these bills. #endalz

Crucial Alzheimer's research from @washumedadrc.bsky.social. I'm so proud that @alzassociation.bsky.social was a funder for this research. One of the most vexing questions about Alzheimer's is its progression. Predicting the progression goes hand-in-hand w/the timing of treatments. #endalz

WashU Medicine Knight ADRC@washumedadrc.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Blood test 'clocks' predict when Alzheimer’s symptoms will start

Advocacy always feels good. Today, I testified yet again to the DC Council Health Committee, this time pushing for a law to require DC clinicians to get training on the new developments re Alzheimer's. So necessary to get early detection, so DC residents can get treatments. More to come. #endalz

I will be testifying yet again to the DC Council Health Committee on Alzheimer's. This time, my focus will be on improving the training of DC healthcare providers so they are aware of recent developments & can make an early diagnosis in time to provide treatment options. #endalz

My wife and I, along with many members of our temple, Temple Micah in DC, were very proud to join this protest. We stood up to Pharaoh, & we are standing up to Trump.

Thanks so much @kim.senate.gov for continuing to speak out about how hard, how expensive, & how all consuming it is to take care of someone w/Alzheimer's. You are one of us, you are not alone. #endalz

Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.gov · 6mo ago

My family was not prepared for my father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. No family is. We need a healthcare system that better supports us.

Very disturbing that the NIH Director is making false statements to the Senate & will not simply rule out terminating clinical trials in the future. Come on.

Max Kozlov@maxkozlov.bsky.social · 6mo ago

That is false. Hundreds of trials were suspended bc of the COVID-19 pandemic, but trials were not terminated en masse due to changes in "agency priorities" — that happened for the first time under the Trump administration and Bhattacharya's watch.

Outrageous that the NIH Director is turning our nation's medical research agency into an arm of the ultra right wing political movement. The Alzheimer's community counts on NIH to lead the world in finding a cure, but his stated goal is to drive ultra right wing science denial. So bad. #endalz

Joshua Weitz@joshuasweitz.bsky.social · 6mo ago

“I want the NIH to be a central driver of the MAHA agenda,” Bhattacharya said. “Essentially, it's kind of the research arm of MAHA.” NIH is not an ideological toy or 'arm'. We must insist on its scientific independence, especially if its Director will not. 🚨 www.dukechronicle.com/article/duke...

Pure corruption at its worst. The nursing home staffing rule would have saved an estimated 13,000 lives per year & improved care for so many more, including many w/Alzheimer's or other dementia. Bribing Trump to repeal this rule- horrible. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

Son of a lifelong CBS executive here. My Dad worked on 60 Minutes for years. The destruction of CBS News by Bari Weiss to advance Trump's fascist agenda is horrible.

Roger Parloff@rparloff.bsky.social · 6mo ago

60 Minutes ran three segments about celebrities last night: Timothée Chalamet, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Kate Winslet. I guess there was no hard news last week.

It's hard to fathom all the outrages we are living through, but the one below stands out- so far, 1.5 million people have lost their health insurance due to Trump's initiative to destroy the ACA. And, that number is going to grow once people have to start making payments at the exorbitant prices.

Larry Levitt@larrylevitt.bsky.social · 7mo ago

The federal government has announced that 22.8 million people have signed up for ACA marketplace coverage for this year, down 1.5 million from last year with enhanced tax credits expiring. The coverage loss will likely grow as people don’t actually make their premium payments.

Son of a lifelong CBS executive here. My Dad kept a picture of Murrow in his office & worked with Cronkite for years. I have no words for how terrible this destruction of CBS News is.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · 7mo ago

"Marco Rubio, we salute you!" A real thing that was said by the CBS Evening News anchor tonight.

Son of a lifelong CBS executive here. My dad spent 27 years getting CBS News on the air first w/every big story. He worked on 60 Minutes from its inception. Spiking a story would have been anathema to him.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 8mo ago

"She's doing what she was hired to do." Bari Weiss just spiked a "60 Minutes" story on the notorious CECOT prison, sparking outrage. Sam Stein and JVL are joined by Semafor’s Max Tani to break down what happened, why Weiss made the call, and how Trump’s shadow looms over CBS News.

One more time- Go Go Go @kim.senate.gov! It's vital that the FCC Chair & Commissioners follow their oath to the Constitution, not the whims of this President or any President.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8mo ago

KIM: Is Trump your boss? CARR: The president designated chair of the FCC K: So he's your boss C: Look-- K: You swore an oath. Does it have the word 'president' in it? C: I'm not tracking K: Do you remember the oath? C: Sir-- K: What are you protecting? C: In this job-- K: The Constitution

Go Go Go @kim.senate.gov! Absolutely crucial points that he made about why the FCC needs to be independent of this President and any President.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 8mo ago

KIM: Have you had a convo w/POTUS about using the FCC to go after critics? CARR: Heheh. I don't get into the specifics of conversations K: Would it be appropriate for him to give you direction to pressure media companies? C: I'm not gonna get into hypotheticals K: The easy answer is 'no'

Just left the Senate Floor after hearing @kim.senate.gov’s maiden speech. It takes real courage to speak openly about your family’s health challenges. His story of becoming a caregiver resonates with so many Americans. His voice will help these families feel seen.

So proud of @kim.senate.gov for speaking out about Alzheimer's and caregiving. Exactly, it shouldn't be this hard. When my wife & I were knocking on doors for Andy in NJ in November 2018, we knew he was special. Thank you so much @kim.senate.gov. You are one of us. #endalz

Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.gov · 8mo ago

Since my father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, I have asked myself the kinds of questions about caregiving that too many Americans are forced to ask. It shouldn’t be this hard.

Thank you so much @kim.senate.gov for having the courage to tell your and your father's Alzheimer's journey. You are not alone- you are part of our community of millions of people dealing with the devastating impact of Alzheimer's. #endalz

Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.gov · 8mo ago

A few weeks ago, my dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I won’t lie—it's been incredibly challenging for me and my family. Now, I’m embarking on a journey to answer the questions so many of us face when it comes to providing care for our loved ones. I hope you’ll join me.
