I think every democratic legislature in the country needs to be doing what California did. Good for Virginia Dems!

Agree. The rules and fair play don't matter to the Misadministration.

But the Supreme Court has allowed Texas to gerrymander so every other state should have the same right.

Dems need to run everywhere but especially in districts that were R+10 or less in 2024

Believe it! The re-thugs have been trampling citizens' rights for decades and we need to obstruct their foul business.

Editing an interview in fear of retribution needs to be addressed-good for Raskin! As for the Virginia Dems redistricting—it is necessary to do everywhere possible so the elections are not rigged…again! ICE must follow rules…this should be standard!

Now that Ellison's Paramount owns CBS, don't expect unbiased reporting from them. Like the Supreme Six they are a cornerstone of drumpf's power grab. Raskin is on target to investigate that interview.

What needs to happen is a PROBE into the Corrupt Roberts 6 (John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Barrett) Crime Gang!! They MUST be investigated for their attacks and assaults against America. They are out of control and their rulings are just Rubber Stamps for whatever Trump brings to them. Even the lower courts in America are now OPENLY questioning what is WRONG with the Roberts 6! Americans do NOT trust them. If Congress won't investigate them then an independent group of legal scholars and judges and lawyers and lay people must. And then release their findings and offer suggestions. The Roberts 6 are a THREAT to America!

SCOTUS has undermined every lower court. Now, it’s as though any lower court decision doesn’t matter. When it arrives in the hands of SCOTUS, we all know how the 6 will “rule” (in favor of their dictator).

Just remember: It's likely not what Dump brings to them. It's what the shadow government which has been working for YEARS for control and what it does, tells or suggests to him. Dump is merely a puppet not a genuine puppeteer. S flim flam man which is what he's good at if you can stand his style. We've had ample evidence he isn't informed enough (nor wants to be) or smart enough to do the amount of planning required to put out all these actions in his name. I believe the folks behind Project 2025 have been and are writing the scripts and running this show.

This is part of the Neoliberal Takeover plan of America and the world. Read "Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism" by George Monbiot and Peter Hutchison for a look at how bad it is for all of us.

Absolutely Murray!

I’ve been wondering how and who could expose these corrupt cretins who are running roughshod over our rights. Supposedly Robert’s has always wanted to give enhanced executive power to the executive branch and he’s having a heyday doing it all now…POS that he and his pals are👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

What irony, if CBS had edited Don-Old's interview without his permission, he would have sued them for millions!!!! Bravo to Raskin for bringing this to the forefront. Today's news highlights so many brave people who are standing up and fighting back.... What a collection of hopeful actions!!!!

To say I am surprised that CBS bent the knee to the orange menace would be wrong. All of MSM has decided to cave to this wannabe dictator and it is a sad thing to see. I don't watch them anymore. I get my news from trusted sources that speak the truth, relate the news and keep their opinions to themselves the way good journalists are suppose to do. Many excellent journalists have left MSM because they believe in reporting the news truthfully without trying to sway public opinion. The public is smart and can form their own opinions about what is reported. Well, let me clarify. Most of the public is smart - magas not so much! I am delighted that Virginia Dems are choosing to fight back on this redistricting madness! I would love to see gerrymandering stopped when we get out country back. I would like to see a bipartisan committee in every state be responsible for redistricting and no politician can have any say. Thanks for the great news, Scott! Have a great day everybody!

I grew up on CBS. Every weekday night Walter Cronkite told me of the day’s events and Mike Wallace, Harry Reasoner, Morley Safer and later, Dan Rather brought hard hitting and thought provoking journalism and commentary into millions of homes on Sunday night. Even as a teenager, 60 Minutes was a Sunday staple. Some people are either a Ford, Chevrolet or Dodge person, I was a CBS person. A news organization that once defined journalistic standards and integrity has now bent à knee in fealty to a mad king.

I too grew up on the show, totally expecting clean journalism, telling me the facts, giving me the truth. As far as I am concerned they have lowered themselves into the Fox News Entertainment Industry of misinformation. They have lost me as a viewer. I do not trust them anymore.

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Well said! This sums up the trust I used to have in CBS as well. Trust that, around mid way through Joe Bidens presidency, I completely lost when all of legacy press started to nitpick the man constantly.

I realize many may not be able to relate to watching Walter Cronkite, but I count myself fortunate to have been able to watch him live in my youth. The importance of a vibrant and strong Fourth Estate is essential to the preservation of our democratic republic.

Wasn't CBS sued by Trump for an 'edit' of an earlier interview---and now he's doing the same thing to help himself? Yikes....

As for Virginia re-districting....like CA, they are saying--we are not going to bring a knife to a gun fight. Good for them!

And proud too to see NC cities standing up and organizing against ICE!

Thanks, Scott.

Glad to see Democratic states stepping up to counter the cheating behavior of the GOP.

CBS editing Trump’s interview at his request is no surprise, but it is shameful pandering and a surrender of their first amendment rights to publish what they wish. Thank you, Janie Raskin!

And hurray, Virginia! We must keep this up in other states!
