Good riddance. If he had any honor he would leave now, but Mike Johnson needs his vote so Republican sexual harassers need to stay around. Probably want to keep young female staffers away from him though.
The reality is that this is exactly what Trump wants. He wants to force Ukrainian capitulation and this is how he wants to do it.
I can’t even find many Republicans who are still backing Max Miller after yesterday. Except the moral paragons Donald Trump, Mike Johnson and the Republican leadership of the House.

Republican voters in western NC gave us Madison Cawthorn and then replaced him with Chuck Edwards. Obviously character and decency isn’t something that matters very much to them.
El-Sayed: There is so much more that unites us, however much we might disagree with our democratic opponent, there is so much more that unites us than divides us. And so to all of our supporters here tonight watching on TV—tomorrow, we begin to mend fences.
Via @oliverdarcy.bsky.social: www.status.news/p/david-elli... CNN reporters were not amused by David Ellison's op-ed in the NYT.
![The piece was "insulting," one CNNer told Status, adding, “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS. You can’t just write an op-ed and erase that.” Another CNNer said it was obvious to them Ellison "says whatever is best for him to get the merger through."
"The thing David Ellison seems to be missing is the wild mismanagement and disrespect that Bari [Weiss] has displayed at '60' and CBS," a third CNNer told Status. "These people just simply do not know what they are doing. We see it. And we don’t want it here."
Indeed, several CNNers said that Ellison's stewardship of CBS News had caused them to lose confidence in his ability to run a news organization and sour on his repeated assurances about respecting the independence of newsrooms. In The Times essay, Ellison wrote, "I understand that promises from an executive in the middle of a merger invite skepticism. So judge us by the year we just had."
But the last year at CBS News has been an unmitigated disaster. Most notably, Ellison allowed his handpicked news chief to take a sledgehammer to "60 Minutes," firing multiple correspondents and senior executives from television news' most prestigious broadcast—in most of the cases, without ever stating a cause for the dismissals. Beyond that, Weiss' tenure has been defined by her expunging those she is not ideologically aligned with, presiding over the worst ratings of the century for flagship programs like the "CBS Evening News" and "CBS Mornings," establishing a cozier relationship with an overtly corrupt White House, and sending employee morale cratering to astonishing lows.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreicybrw5xm7wnrleduxjtlfwlrcvjzs7qwwjijswwlluzh5x67iadi)

MELIUS, on Elon’s statement that $SPCX “has decided to exclusively use Nvidia compute and suggested the company could deploy closer to 8GW of AI compute during 2027”:
No shade to anybody, but you can really tell who’s getting paid to promote prediction markets on nights like this.
I’d be pissed AF if I’d served in the military and my draft-dodging POS of a president posted this. Americans are dying because of his incompetence and he thinks it’s funny???
JENNINGS: “This continued demonization of AIPAC. AIPAC is jewish Americans.” PHILLIP: “Bernie Sanders is jewish.” JENNINGS: “That doesn't absolve him…”🤔 lol ok Scott Jennings (From @acyn.bsky.social )
On nights like this it’s kinda wild that @abbydphillip & @CNN don’t feel the need to mention @ScottJenningsKY’s podcast bosses at Salem Media are running a pro-Israel influence operation — and that he gets paid by them while he’s on CNN trashing Bernie, @AbdulElSayed, etc
