CBS pulling @jamestalarico.bsky.social’s interview from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is alarming and nothing short of censorship. Full breakdown on my Substack page (link below).

Epstein survivor tells CBS News how she was trafficked, and assaulted Juliette Bryant says not long after meeting Jeffrey Epstein, he assaulted her, and she realized, "this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped."

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

Federal Economic Analysis for Detention Site Riddled With Errors on Taxes, Jobs, Geography Document incorrectly references Oklahoma economy and inflates job numbers with theoretical positions

Special for my friends in the media!

Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit.

BEYOND exhausted of these unqualified, and often unelected, persons getting away with every damn thing. There are NEVER any repercussions.They break laws. Ignore court orders. Laugh at survivors of sexual torture. They spend OUR monies as their own personal bank account. Enough is a fucking enough.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

BREAKING: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass calls for the resignation of LA28 Olympics Organizing Chair Casey Wasserman after disturbing emails that Wasserman wrote appeared in the Epstein files: "My opinion is that he should step down." Wow!

The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

X Quote WHYY News @WHYYNews The U.S. State Department has ordered certain public libraries nationwide to cease processing passport applications, disrupting a long-standing service that librarians say their communities have come to rely on and that has run smoothly for years. @riotwomennn responding: "Just get a passport!" Trump Republicans shout as they shut down passport offices before the midterm elections.

NEWS: CBS blocked Stephen Colbert from airing an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and ordered him not to mention the cancellation over fear of FCC chair Brendan Carr.

The Trump administration withdrew a rule to make sure the products YOU use every day—like makeup and skincare—are tested for cancer-causing asbestos. Is this Making America Healthy Again??

This Is What Destroying the Vaccine Market Looks Like A shocking move by RFK Jr.’s team has the industry spooked—for good reason.

"The idea that approval of a vaccine might depend—even a little bit—on whether the manufacturer says ‘pretty please’ speaks volumes about what role scientific judgment is now playing in the approval process."

The “have you said ‘thank you’ once?” school of government: nothing is about the merits of the policy or the national interest; everything is about the feelings of the leader. lnk.thebulwark.com/4694wEk

Rep. Ted Lieu publicly stated that the “Epstein files” contain “highly disturbing allegations” including allegations of Donald Trump “raping children” and “threatening to kill children.” He said this at a Capitol Hill press briefing on Feb. 3, 2026, urging the press to “go look” at the allegations.

"kingkylelee: What is wrong with these people smh🤬"

"trump supporter assaults an underage girl at a peaceful protest and gets instant karma"

Does that seem fair to you?

The DOJ claims it has released all of its “relevant” Epstein files.

Bullshit! Pam Bondi is facing allegations of redacting the names of potential co-conspirators.

Looks like the rest of the world may have to hold the rich and powerful accountable.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
