Pulte’s one evident qualification is his eagerness to advance the president’s political revenge campaign.

What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy.
Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc.
Some call it the "Network State."

Good, clear explanation. FYI.
FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.
