NEW from me: Calling bullsh*t on anyone who still claims that Bari Weiss' politics aren't showing up in CBS News coverage. This story wasn't news, it was a bigoted smear of Abdul El-Sayed. The worst part was the headline that edited by Weiss herself. jenniferschulze.substack.com/p/cbs-news-h...
CBS News hits an unsurprising new low
With the questionable Abdul El-Sayed story, it’s getting harder to tell the difference between CBS and MAGA media. That's the goal, of course.

I had missed this at the time but here is Senator Mark Warner watching masked ICE American Gestapo threatening one of his constituents, and in response merely calling for “commonsense ICE reforms” because he is scared of criticizing law enforcement and ICE. Coward.
Senator Mark Warner@markwarner.bsky.social · 4w agoMasked agents pointing a gun at an unarmed American citizen and threatening her for exercising her rights is unacceptable. We need commonsense reforms to strengthen ICE’s accountability and transparency now.
Mamdani: +70 approval rating. Fetterman: -50 approval rating. If you're a political consultant who still favors Fetterman's approach over Mamdani's, you're wildly out of step with the Democratic base. Retire, or at the very least, sit down and shut up.
Hakeem Jeffries can't even keep moderates like Jared Golden & Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in line. So why should progressives back such a weak Speaker if he can't deliver? Hakeem is at his weakest point right now. No reason to marry the House Majority to him. Find a replacement!

I know Mike Davis. He represented the Secretary of State when I was the Executive Director of the state ethics commission. I didn't like him, but he is truly deranged and deplorable. #VoteBlue
