I've described this as the Streisand effect & it is, but beyond this it is invaluable to the Talarico campaign because there's basically no qualification Dem voters will respond to more strongly than "Trump hates this guy & wants him silenced". Instant trust.

Screenshot showing the interview has 2.85 million views

Here Are Final Late Night Ratings for Q4 2025 Jan 9, 2026 - Colbert averaged 2.69 million total viewers across 37 original episodes, down 5 percent

Colbert’s show normally averages 2.7 million viewers. The interview with James Talarico that the Trump administration tried so hard to suppress last night now has 2.8 million views.

Trump Can’t Steal the Midterms The case for being vigilant without panicking.

Trump can't steal the midterms.

I say that not as a call for complacency, but to right-size worries. Authoritarianism partially exists in our heads. Excessive fear plays into their hands.

Be vigilant but don't panic. Don't grant the regime more power than it actually has.

Me, in @thebulwark.com:

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

This poll has Trump’s issue approval on immigration at -11%, down from -13% last week but still higher than any level of disapproval registered in their polls last year.

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas.

Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe.

This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

Part of what's going to hurt in the Georgia special election tonight is, the R candidate is from the one blue county in the district, so Bibb County is barely blue at all.

Feels like if the R candidate wasn't from there, we'd honestly have a close shot at flipping it.

Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

It was really nice of her to go on record in favor of it. Additional stuff to attack her on is always appreciated.

When Susan Collins was down I knew that ship sailed on SAVE.

i have nothing against crockett — i rather like her, for the most part — but i have no idea what she’s doing with her campaign

i know better than to bet on blexas but i am curious to see what happens with talarico if he can break through the news glacier

Every leftist concerned with Cuba right now really ought to keep in mind Kamala Harris would neither have kidnapped Maduro nor be throttling Cuba to death right now, were she President.

If you abstained because she "wasn't perfect", congratulations. You should've thought of this before not voting.

Another thing to add to the Dem platform: all of these contracts were plainly procured through fraud, not one of them will be honored, and all culpable parties will be prosecuted.

This isn't a "radical" demand, it's the bare minimum required to re-establish the rule of law.

🚨🚨 More Election Day votes and the D lead in Peach is 19...

So, we have our first county with some Election Day votes.

Peach was Trump +6 in 2024. Today is D+12 thus far....

I mean at least there’s a study to wave about for the thing we all already knew

I’m often in coalition meetings with the Chamber’s immigration staffer and lol no they are not open borders (they are, however, in support of legalization).

As expected, looks like Dan Helmer will be running in VA-7 assuming new map is adopted

Helmer would likely have the backing of House Speaker Don Scott

He would also seem to be the frontrunner although imagine others might run

JP Cooney has already announced

well, at least one of us dodged a bullet

we are going to be cursed to see him be the longest lived kennedy

fwiw insofar as there’s a maga after trump, i think RFK, jr. is an underrated figure for inheriting it, he is unlikely to disappear whenever trump croaks

Is Iowa the Senate Race No One Saw Coming? The Democratic field for Iowa's open Senate seat just got smaller, as Nathan Sage endorsed Josh Turek amid signs a blue wave could flip Iowa

I guess some of the media is finally waking up on this. time.com/7378634/demo...

New form of conversion therapy just dropped.

RFK is on so much gear
