Kyle Clark is one of the top journalists in Colorado, if not the entire country. If he says 60 Minutes blew it on this Tina Peters story, that’s exactly what happened.

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social

It was disappointing that @60minutes.bsky.social, with all its resources and expertise, broke zero new ground on the Tina Peters story. The report was just a repetition of what local journalists reported long ago.

Shocking, but not surprising.

1/ Saturday's Ukrainian attack on Omsk in Siberia, at a distance of over 2,500 km, is causing fresh angst among Russian warbloggers over the poor performance of Russia's air defences. "[We're being hit] further and deeper," one complains. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/kyiv...

Kyiv Post@kyivpost.com

Long-range strike drones hit Russia’s Omsky Kauchuk chemical plant and an Ozon logistics hub in Omsk, sparking major fires. Located over 2,500 km from Ukraine, the Siberian sites were evacuated as blazes erupted across the industrial facilities. Videos: Telegram channels

If you are guessing that this is the Republican candidate (though it is omitted from the summaries here), you are correct. He does indeed represent the pedocon party.

A protester yelled "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass" to Trump at his rally in Mississippi on Monday night. This clip contains two versions of the moment. The first is how it aired on a livestream. In the second I increased the audio for that moment.

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Like emperor Nero, Trump built his own luxurious Domus Aurea (Golden House) complex. Nero also built his over-the-top palace on prime Roman real estate after the great fire of Rome (which some people believe he ordered). His obscene excesses contributed to his ultimate downfall.

I hope someone at GOP headquarters is checking the CAPS LOCK inventory ahead of the elections ‘cause this’ll be a barn burner.

Trump on DC: "Nobody wanted to eat out. They were afraid. Even if you were in the restaurant, people would walk in and like the Wild West, 'Hold it up!' Everybody is standing there. Can you imagine? A fancy restaurant. They were robbing the whole restaurant. It's crazy."

A reminder that Bolsonaro’s father plotted to stay in power by poisoning Lula, assassinating the Vice President, and murdering a Supreme Court justice after losing his reelection bid. He is currently serving a 27 year prison sentence for his crimes. Any wonder why Trump is helping his son?
