Just 10 people have already poured $617 MILLION into this year’s midterm elections. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. This is not sustainable. We need to get Big Money out of our democracy.

I need an update on what Stephen Colbert is doing next and I need AI to remove the CBS logo off old clips, thx.

If fast scaffolding construction were an Olympic event the US would be screwed

Watching MSNOW Livestream from Kennedy Center like I'm waiting for an REM reunion tour: I know this ain't happening but there's a sliver of hope that won't die.

The White House before the current occupants and as it should have looked for America’s 250th birthday.

Yeah but Michelle Obama's vegetable garden - THAT was a travesty, right? So confused now.

In case you forgot what it looks like when a real president gets the love at a game. You know, when the crowd actually wants the president there.

A failed op-ed writer bankrolled by billionaires purging a universally liked and credible straight news journalist from 60 Minutes really has to be the height of the complete slide of American news media into a complete death spiral.

Atrocious

Today, 34 federal judges (the complaint says 35, but only 34 are identified in the appendix) filed a complaint seeking to overturn the Trump v. Trump settlement. I have posted a copy of the complaint here: probono.slnews.us/General2026/...

It was a great day in SC!

I want to see Cornyn, Massie, Cassidy, etc, not holding back on Trump from now until the end of their terms

new motto: "South Carolina: not as horrible as you thought we were"

I'll be voting!

Honestly, if Colbert flew celebrity guests around the country to take over cable access stations on a nightly basis, I would watch the shit out of that

Today is Stephen Colbert's last day as host of The Late Show. CBS canceled his show last year and made up a lame excuse. We know the truth. We will miss you Stephen. Thank you for giving us the truth. With some added humor and satire. We needed that. I needed that. Also, fuck you CBS. You cowards.

Tonight is the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We’ll be watching. Thank you for everything, Colbert! 💚

I'm on hour 4 of SC Senate Judiciary hearing public comments on redistricting... It's clear that it's unpopular, difficult, expensive, ignores the will of a lot of people, carves up communities.... I will be shocked if they don't redistrict anyway.

Tonight's Maddow running down a stunning list of Trump appointees with zero expertise or qualifications for their jobs. Followed by an equally outrageous series of Trump actions as POTUS that just so happen to jack up values for stocks he bought a couple days earlier.

Too many Americans right now seem to be saying: "Democracy? Yawn. TL;DR. But did you see that latest Yellowstone spinoff?"

Great explainer of what's going in with this redistricting nonsense here in SC. Earlier this week, national news ran wild with an inaccurate story that Congressional redistricting in South Carolina was dead. It is not. Far from it. #SouthCarolina

If it feels like South Carolina can never get ahead, maybe consider which party has totally controlled the levers of power the last 30 years

There was great joy in Hooville at the return of dropping things off the roof with David Letterman and Stephen Colbert. Kids: if you weren't born when Dave started that, you have no idea how avant garde that was for network tv.

May this video serve as a small reminder to Republicans who have a certain idea about what Democratic voters in SC look like.

"the agency said the money goes to the State Highway Fund which supports road infrastructure projects across South Carolina" Um... where exactly in SC can I see these improvements?

Democrats, this is the way:

The first epidemic of the 1918 flu in the United States occurred at the military’s Camp Funston, Kansas (later Fort Riley). Infected soldiers headed to WWI battlefields carried the flu to Europe. Millions died It’s not *vaccination* that weakens force readiness.

Viktor Orbán is a LOSER and he has LOST Bigly!!! You’ve never seen anything like it! People say it is the “GREATEST LOSS” and Hungary is GREAT AGAIN! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

If you're looking for live TV election news coverage from Hungary, you won't find it on CNN as you might have in the past. You'll have to go to BBC World News or other international outlet. RIP US news media.

Thankyou Hungary. You didn't listen to Vance, Trump, Putin or Netanyahu, which is the first step on the road to decency and sanity. This is an important win for Europe as well.

A FEMA official has repeatedly claimed that he can teleport.

One day, children, the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament will be shown in prime time, like the men's.

Geno Auriemma owes Dawn Staley an apology. He should call her directly with his apology, then release a public statement in which he apologizes to her by name. This statement is cowardly and is indicative of a lack of respect and class. Unacceptable.

Bluesky is united tonight over Geno Auriemma's assholery and I'm here for it. Go Gamecocks!

Deliver me from the hell that is fundraising emails from Lindsey Graham and James Carville at the same time. Not sure what I did to deserve this. 😭

Basketball. ❤️
