CBS cancels Colbert’s Late Show amid pending Paramount-Skydance merger Despite financial pressures on the late night TV model, experts say the timing suggests political motives.

I’m not convinced that the shows finances are the full reason. Not in this climate.

“CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump — a deal that looks like bribery,” Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said...”

How can we celebrate today when liberty and justice for all seem so far away? As a kid, I used to love the 4th of July.

“First, we must face the harsh reality that the freedom many of us feel is slipping away has never been a universal reality for everyone in this nation. From its inception, there have always been folks who were never listed under the category of “all” when we heralded liberty and justice.”

You know what would be really "tough on crime"? Living wages, fully funded schools, affordable housing, universal healthcare, and maybe a little empathy for those in need.

A two-day counter-Pride festival in Boise, Idaho, fell flat on June 20-21, 2025…Supporters have now turned to social media asking for money to cover expenses including security costs—exceeding $18,000, money they expected to raise from the attendees that never showed up 🤣

Ray Bradbury said, ‘You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.’ That’s where we are. But here’s the good news: WE STILL HAVE THE BOOKS. So read them, share them, and remind these book banners that their fear of ideas isn’t our problem—it’s theirs.

The story behind the arrest of 87-year-old veteran John Spitzberg at the Capitol The video of John Spitzberg's arrest has been shared widely across social platforms, becoming a crystalizing moment for those protesting the Trump administration.

“ #Spitzberg said he crossed the barrier because he saw officers manhandling his fellow #protesting #veterans.

New Rules Let Veterans Affairs Doctors Refuse to Treat Democrats, Unmarried Vets Doctors can also be barred from working at VA hospitals based on marital status, party affiliation, or union activity.

“Healthcare isn’t just a special privilege Trump gets to dole out to veterans who agree with the president — it’s a moral obligation our country owes to every single man and woman who serves in uniform.

Anyone who doesn’t understand that has no business leading our armed forces in any way.”

I’m seeing tons posts from veterans and active military that “marching out of step” is a silent protest. ✊🏻

As the military has been used as political pawns recently, I applaud them for this maneuver. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Skirting a question on vaccines, Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Wisconsin Democrat Rep. Mark Pocan during a hearing before a House committee he thinks Americans should not be taking medical advice from him.

The Library of Congress just delivered a masterclass in independence—blocking Trump appointees after he abruptly fired the Librarian. Staff stood firm, called Capitol Police, and refused to cede control. A bold stand for the separation of powers when it matters most. This is the way.

The President has named a new Acting Librarian of Congress. It's his former defense lawyer. Todd Blanche, a former personal lawyer for President Trump, is now acting Librarian of Congress. According to his public profile, Blanche has no experience working in libraries or archives.

"A qualified black woman was fired and a completely unqualified white man takes her spot... But he does have experience "leading the defense… in which the President was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a payment to an adult film star." #Libraries #Congress
