Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program.

"Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

They rule by dividing us. By making us feel small and alone.
Our power comes from unity. From realizing: you are not alone.

Tell the Senate: Not a penny more for ICE brutality | Indivisible

DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesn’t stop ICE and CBP terror.

Power isn't in a throne. It's in our hands.
It's in our neighborhoods. It's in our unions. It's in our communities.
On March 28, we flex that power. Together. #NoKings2026 social.demcast.com/s/XMVkF3iY

Will Fox be updating their story on this and giving it the same amount of airtime as they did initial arrest?

Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: β€œYou don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

Tell Your Members of Congress to rein in ICE NOW On January 24, federal forces with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. This was just over two weeks after the killing of Renee Good. These killings are a direc...

The DHS funding deadline is tomorrow β€” and a bill can’t pass without Democratic votes. We need Democrats to keep holding the line by refusing to fund DHS without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation. Let’s get to work.

Wasn’t going to post this but maybe someone out there feels as angry and unhinged as I do that Donald Trump is a) still our President and b) shitting on a female reporter again. Kaitlan Collins I needed to say what I assume you’re likely thinking.

Redistricting did not turn out how Trump wanted. So, now he is resorting to political prosecutions, ballot seizures and the threat of federal paramilitary to steal the 2026 midterms. He is normalizing the idea that his administration will take over ballot counting. We cannot let that happen.

Note from the editors:

ProPublica is publishing the names of the two federal immigration agents involved in the fatal shooting of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed. 

The Department of Justice said it is investigating the incident, but the names of the two agents have been withheld from Congress and from state and local law enforcement.

The policy of shielding officers’ identities, particularly after a public shooting, is a stark departure from standard law enforcement protocols, according to lawmakers, state attorneys general and former federal officials. Such secrecy, in our view, deprives the public of the most fundamental tool for accountability.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
