UPDATE: i just shared this note with my colleagues: "To my incredible colleagues at CBS: I want to personally let you know that my work will soon no longer appear on CBS News. This is my decision, and I appreciate the bosses at CBS for understanding it. I will always value the opportunity I had to work alongside the talented and committed professionals here. I'm proud to have had the words 'CBS correspondent' next to my name - always will be. For the next phase of my career, I look forward to some independence and finding new spaces to share my work in line with my personal goals. I thank you all. The work will not stop, and I'll always be a call away"

That’s a wrap. Super LX is in the books. Here is a glimpse of how we signed off from the control room. I’m so proud of this team and so lucky to work alongside Hall of Fame director, Drew Esocoff.

My question to the House Speaker today: How does buying Greenland square with NATO and the overwhelming message from the Americans in the election that they care about the economy and issues here at home?
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Greenland "offers a lot" of national security and defense initiatives for the United States when asked whether Secretary Rubio told lawmakers the U.S. plans to buy Greenland. "That is directly in line with commitments made on the campaign trail by President Trump and all of us to seek American interests first," Johnson told CBS News’ @CHueyBurns. "That said, does that mean we're going to go send troops into Greenland and take it over? No."During Wednesday's White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the option of buying Greenland is being "actively discussed" by the administration.
