So he's gonna advocate for all people with depression to get four months off for rehabilitation, right? And he's gonna tell RFK jr to fuck off with his quest to limit the medication that Kean is very clearly taking to be functional?

Is the pool the most important story? Of course not. Is it something low-info voters can wrap their heads around? Is it emblematic of how Trump handles everything (corruption, incompetence, lies)? Is Trump making it worse with his own implausible lies? IMHO, yes. So, yeah, worth discussing.

Q: National Guard and police have been all over the Mall. How would these vandals have gotten so close to do something like that? TRUMP: ... ... ...

“During the press conference, Talarico criticized Paxton’s handling of the case, saying, ‘Ken Paxton had the chance to protect a child. Instead, he protected a predator. I find that unconscionable, and I think most Texans do, too.’” www.fox44news.com/news/local-n...

this is such a good example of someone asserting that incivility lives in actions that hurt people, not in questioning those actions

Oliver Darcy got the audio of the heated 60 Minutes meeting where Scott Pelley dressed Nick Bilton down! "You know what was rude? Black Thursday. That was the absolute definition of rudeness. Telling Tanya Simon she had to be out of here at five o'clock." www.status.news/p/scott-pell...

"Bari loves this institution," Bilton told staffers at one point during the highly contentious meeting. "She loves '60 Minutes.'" "She's murdering '60 Minutes,'" Pelley countered. "She does not love this place. She was brought in to kill it—and she's doing exactly that." This story is based on audio of the meeting obtained by Status. A CBS News spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment, but Pelley's stunning series of remarks left staffers on the newsmagazine wondering if he will resign. In the meeting, Pelley pointed out that Weiss has "no qualifications for her job" and told Bilton "you have slender qualifications for this job." Pelley, the former anchor of "CBS Evening News," noted that the changes Weiss has made to that program "have been catastrophic." "So why should we expect any of this is going to be any better?" Pelley asked Bilton. Bilton tried to move the meeting along, but Pelley pressed on, challenging the new executive producer’s references in interviews to “60 Minutes” creator Don Hewitt’s vision for the program as he outlined his plans. "I have another question," the veteran journalist said. "Did you at any point work with Don Hewitt, telling everybody about what Don Hewitt thought, and what his inspiration was? I worked for Don Hewitt from 1999 to 2004 and Lesley Stahl probably worked with him for 30 years. Just wondering how you have such deep insight?" Bilton replied that he was simply quoting Hewitt’s own words from past interviews and asked Pelley whether he had any other questions. Pelley said that he did. "I have many questions," Pelley responded. "What was wrong with Sharyn Alfonsi?"
