A democracy weakens when the media suppress expression to stay in regulators’ good graces. Stephen Colbert’s decision to hold his ground is a reminder of how essential individual courage can be.

BREAKING: Votes on the Republican ICE/ballroom funding bill are CANCELLED. Thune sending everyone home for 10 days. Why? Republicans don’t want to vote against an amendment to stop Trump’s new $1.7B slush fund. The problem? That amendment doesn’t go away for them in 10 days.

Ohio’s state sales tax exemption for data centers cost $1.6 BILLION in 2025 — 11x more than its original estimate. That’s $1.6 billion that could have gone to public schools and healthcare instead of Big Tech CEOs’ pockets. Is it any wonder communities are organizing against data centers?

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of the Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans and Forward Latino, my law firm won our latest DOJ voter file case. We are 7-0. DOJ is 0-8. Not tired of winning! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

The feds harangued Kat and my family over bullshit charges for a year. They tried to beat her down, bankrupt Kat and her codefendants through legal fees, and a defeat her spirit. They fucking lost. They will continue to lose. Fuck ICE forever. To this criminal gang of a government: stay losing.

Mayor Mamdani Keeps Up The Wins For New Yorkers,And He Just Keeps Getting Better.......👏🏻

These prosecutors who made my family’s life hell for a year are criminals. I want justice and we’ll seek it. This can’t happen again.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of our voter clients, we just won DOJ voter data case. We are 6-0 and DOJ is 0-7. www.democracydocket.com/cases/maine-...

It's worth noting that Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment in 1991 and in those days other women also testified that Thomas had a heavy obsession with pornography. This coincides with his appearances in the Epstein Files. Maybe we should look closer.

Interesting how so many in the GOP cannot come out and clearly say "I do not think there should be a fund that pays people convicted of violence against police officers on Jan. 6 with American tax dollars." Only a handful have even acknowledged it.

The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

Gregory Schneck, a Democrat from Mesa County, chokes up as he asks the party to censure Gov Polis for giving clemency to Tina Peters. "It's personal," Schneck said, choking back tears. Peters' crimes cost Mesa County $1M to replace voting systems and led to national embarassment

A short time ago, Rep Jason Crow (D) put out a statement in favor of bringing the measure before the CDP central committee - but notably did not say whether he supported a censure or other actions against Polis. Crow is the most prominent Dem to speak out on the party action.

UPDATE: The Colorado Democratic Party's central committee is now considering a measure to censure or otherwise punish Gov Jared Polis (D) for giving clemency to Tina Peters. I'll thread details here.

The guest lineup for Colbert’s final episode is being kept completely secret. I don’t know how I’m going to hold it together… But let’s give him ratings of a lifetime 💔

Yep he said it..

Tonight. Colbert’s last show all because of a small, petty, convicted felon of a President whose ego is so fragile that he can’t take a joke. Make CBS hurt. They bent the knee, let’s amputate it. Never watch them again after tonight. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #Pinks #SheShed

Pay a fortune to attend matches, but instead end up as a foreigner in ICE detention without trial. Or stay at home for nothing and watch them on TV. That's a pretty simple choice. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

The New York Times editorial board: “Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals.”

This week, the GOP has officially become the party of Beating Cops & Fucking Children. And they'll continue to protect the men who do both.

Happy “Last Time I Watch CBS Day” to those who celebrate.

Stephen Colbert is a national treasure and so is every member his extraordinary team. it’s a travesty their show is ending. honored I’ve somehow have been on the program four times (!) and that I bear even a slight resemblance to the kind-hearted man behind that desk.

REUTERS: “Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys leader sentenced ‌to 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the January 6, 2021 riot, said he planned to get between $2 & $5 million.” We are so far off the cliff. 🇺🇸 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

“You’re the first guy in America who’s lost his show because we got a president who can’t take a joke.” “And because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want.” variety.com/2026/tv/news...

Every time I sat across the desk from Stephen Colbert, I knew we'd have a conversation that was about more than just getting laughs. Alongside his great wit, Stephen brought deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and humility to the late-night stage. Here's to a next chapter as brilliant as the last.

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

It’s amazing the difference between how some Republicans speak 5 minutes after their political careers are over compared to the time when they wanted the cult leader to love them.

There is not a single insurrectionists MFer who beat a cop that should get a penny of our money. Not one. And the people making this decision will all be appointed by Blanche and will meet in secret. This is an impeachable offense by Blanche.

You Go Jasmine Crockett 👏🏻......

MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.

BLUMENTHAL: Was the Capitol attacked on J6? SCHWARTZ: There was definitely trespass & violence B: So the Capitol was attacked? S: You're asking me to weigh in on sort of public characterizations B: You're insulting our intelligence. Do you really expect us to accept these canned answers?

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

MacFarlane: I'm filling a notebook with misinformation spreading about January 6th today. The idea that these cases were wrongful, no case was overturned, not a one on appeal. And lots of people appealed. They had a 100% success rate for juries at trial.

BREAKING: Former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn & MPD Officer Hodges are suing to block the $1.8B “weaponization” slush fund.

I'll tell ya something I will vote for the Democratic candidate who promises to go after corruption and hound these people til the day they die. Bonus points if he/she tells the first reporter who asks them about "unity" to fuck off.

MORE! Colbert is experiencing a massive, historic ratings surge! Monday's episode drew 3.3 million viewers, and for the week, Colbert BEAT ABC AND NBC COMBINED. But go ahead and tell us it's not profitable.

The Right needs new talking points and a check on their California Derangement Syndrome. California is the top-performing economy in the US. We dominate in EVERY category — from manufacturing to venture capital, engineering, and research. We are writing the rules of the future.

Nothing makes someone look guiltier than forcing the Justice Department to promise never to investigate your taxes or prosecute you for anything they might find

NEW: Epstein survivor Annie Farmer about Todd Blanche testimony about wanting to hear from Epstein survivors: "Blanche’s suggestion that survivors reach out to the Dept of Justice to re-report the crimes committed against them is beyond insulting. Many of us have already done that, repeatedly"

In case you need any more motivation to hold the most corrupt "president" in U.S. history accountable. #Register&VOTE 🌊

Thomas Massie: “Today is the six month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture, that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.” video courtesy @acyn.bsky.social

I genuinely struggle to understand what these people think is going on

This proves how craven most politicians are when choosing between sincerity and self-preservation.

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court.

Dear Americans: GIven that now the “opp research” on Graham Platner includes what he talked about on deployment, you may want to dig deeper on how troops talk in war. Don’t. You’d never understand unless you served. And I would not want it to be ANY different.
