CBS News resumes Twitter activity after brief halt over Musk concerns

Source: The Hill

CBS News announced on Sunday it will resume its Twitter activity after halting it for part of the weekend to assess “uncertainty” under new CEO Elon Musk.

“After pausing for much of the weekend to assess the security concerns, CBS News and Stations is resuming its activity on Twitter as we continue to monitor the situation,” the network wrote on the platform.

The network’s various accounts stopped posting tweets late on Friday, hours after Musk’s deadline for employees to either commit to a “hardcore” work environment or accept severance and leave the company.

The ultimatum led an estimated 1,200 employees to depart on Thursday, according to The New York Times, which came after Musk laid off about half of Twitter’s workforce, which included roughly 7,500 employees when he formally took over the company.

What's going on with the uncalled House races?

I know about Boebert/Frisch in CO-03 (recount) and Peltola/Palin in Alaska (which we'll win easily), but what about the rest? Any even small updates? Why do some sites say that Republicans have 218 while others say 219?

What are some great sites for updated results and info?

Joe Biden celebrates his 80th birthday

President Joe Biden turns 80 years old on Sunday, becoming the first octogenarian to ever serve in the highest office of the United States.

The unique milestone of Biden’s birthday comes as the president faces speculation about whether he will mount a reelection run and dredges up questions about whether he’s too old to serve another term.

The president is celebrating his birthday in Washington with a brunch hosted by first lady Jill Biden, according to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Members of Biden’s family already in town celebrating his granddaughter’s wedding at the White House on Saturday are expected to be in attendance.

The president has political momentum on his side ahead of a potential reelection bid – having been able to maintain a Democratic majority in the Senate and thwart the historical political tides of a resounding Republican wave in Congress. There was also the lukewarm political support his slightly younger predecessor, Donald Trump, received when he announced his recent decision to run for president in 2024.

John Boehner Tweet on Nancy Pelosi stepping down from leadership

Wow, I can honestly say I'm shocked. While I never liked the guy's politics, at least he wasn't a mean-spirited Trumper with no class.

Any news on Arizona Governor?

Seems like the numbers haven't moved today. What's the most likely outcome?

Jon Ralston Tweet:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that means that there are 31k ballots in counties favoring CCM, 6k in counties favoring Laxalt. There's just no way Laxalt can overcome that. Not sure what 5k provisionals and 10k that need to be cured favor, but it shouldn't matter. There's no way that she can lose, unless I'm missing something.
