Despite dominating in ratings for decades, 60 Minutes is taking a hit. Mediate reports a recent episode featuring an interview with Secret Service director Sean M. Curry brought in even more mediocre viewership in comparison to other episodes. The episode drew in 6.061 million total viewers, with 767,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age demographic. Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Lesley Stahl has allegedly considered leaving the show due to editing conflicts over her segment about Israeli settler harassment in the West Bank. Other staffers are also dissatisfied. The report notes staff who have protested in disagreement with the direction of the program have been warned they can lose their jobs. Many are reportedly not happy with the current leadership at CBS News. Compared to the Sunday lineup with Tracker and Marshals, which air after 60 Minutes, the news program came in last. The former received above 7 million total viewers. The recent drop in ratings comes after 60 Minutes drew...

President Donald Trump disclaimed any meaningful connection to Kimberly Guilfoyle, the former US ambassador to Greece who resigned in disgrace on Tuesday for allegedly misusing her office for personal profit. Trump has given Guilfoyle the cold shoulder , including describing Guilfoyle's past engagement to his eldest son as "she, I guess, dated my son a long time ago, but she wasn’t.” According to one journalist, Trump has a long history of downplaying his personal relationships with controversial individuals with whom he was once close. "A few years ago, for example, after attorney Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to election-related crimes in Georgia, Trump wrote on his social media platform, 'Despite the Fake News reports to the contrary, and without even reaching out to ask the Trump Campaign, MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS,'" wrote MS NOW's Steve Benen on Tuesday . "(Reality told a different story: Powell was a member of his legal tea...

It can’t be that President Donald Trump lies too much , or that his Department of Justice is a politicized weapon set upon his perceived enemies — so there’s got to be something turning DC jurors against the DOJ’s cases. And the Washington Sun says the Republican House committee overseeing local D.C. affairs is going to get to the bottom of it. Committee Republicans launched an investigation into “politicized jury nullification initiatives by left-wing activist groups,” Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) announced Tuesday. “The investigation is so far targeting two D.C. organizations, Harriet’s Wildest Dreams and Free DC, which have hosted a series of trainings called the Juror Information Project,” reports the Sun. “Comer, who chairs the House Oversight Committee, alleges the groups are advocating for the long-debated practice of jury nullification, which happens when a juror opts to acquit someone — even if they think the accused person is technically guilty — because they object to t...

A retired judge, once powerful enough to be appointed and promoted by two Republican presidents (Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush), seemed to subtly troll President Donald Trump's defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, in a Monday statement. When discussing Hegseth's decision to air live the execution of terrorist and mass murderer Nidal Malik Hasan, most have focused on the fact that America's military has not publicized an execution in nearly a century. Alex Kozinski, on the other hand, praised Hegseth for executing Hasan by firing squad — which Kozinski points out is actually more humane than the most popular execution method, lethal injection. "It borrows medicine’s costume without the people and safeguards that make medicine work," Kozinski wrote in The Wall Street Journal . "Physicians are barred by the American Medical Association’s ethics code from participating in executions; similar constraints apply to nurses. The job therefore falls to law-enforcement ...

One day after a federal judge in New York ordered the Trump administration to immediately stop airing controversial government-funded television ads featuring President Donald Trump, government watchdog group Common Cause was already ratting out the administration for countless violations. In a two-page notice, reported by AllRise News Editor Ada Klasfeld , Common Cause told federal Judge Jennifer L. Rochon that Trump's taxpayer funded propaganda ads ran “hundreds of times” after the judge’s temporary restraining order demanded an immediate halt to them. “Plaintiffs respectfully submit this letter to bring to the Court’s attention information relevant to Defendants’ compliance with the Court’s Temporary Restraining Order, which was entered on October 11, 2026, at 6:46 p.m. and was effective immediately,” Common Cause said , before then unloading a report of easily more than 400 spots despite the court’s binding TRO. Trump’s “Final Battle” spot ran in 193 spots during “60 Minutes,”...

Ohio residents who voted for Trump are now questioning whether he cares to deliver on his promises to revive the manufacturing industry and prioritize blue-collar jobs/work. Many who voted for him based on his proposed commitments to a thriving economy wonder where his priorities currently stand. Concerns are growing across the country with inflation in groceries, housing, and gas while the job opportunities and pay appear stagnant. One Ohio voter says Trump’s support of AI and data centers does not align with his previous commitments. “I hate [AI and data centers] with a passion,” William Akel, a 26-year-old resident of Niles, Ohio, told The Washington Post . said. “AI is going to take the jobs, and then what jobs are we going to have? Probably fixing the AI?” “I think he’s just lost in the sauce,” Akel added of Trump. “ He sees [AI] as a way to make more money. … They’re putting billions and billions into all that. Where’s it all coming from? You’ve got people starving here.” In L...
