Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:
"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."
He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.
Save the date! March 28. NO KINGS
Families can’t afford health care, food, or housing & the Trump administration is spending billions of taxpayer $$$ sending violent ICE agents into our streets—terrorizing communities. Silence is not an option. Prepare. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=lwv @lwvus.bsky.social @lwvva.bsky.social

Colbert's Banned Interview With Rep. Talarico Becomes His Most Watched Interview In Months By Mike Stunson, Forbes Staff. Published Feb 17, 2026 at 01:19pm EST
Brendan Carr, meet Barbra Streisand.
I wish Talarico and Jasmine Crockett could win both of Texas's Senate seats.
Governor Pritzker and Rev. Jesse Jackson at Mayor Harold Washington's Centennial Birthday Celebration in 2022.
Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the civil rights movement.
He broke down barriers, inspired generations, and kept hope alive. Our state, nation, and world are better due to his years of service.
I’m ordering flags to half-mast to honor him.
May his memory be a blessing.
My children's book "That's What Heroes Do" is now available for pre-order! Launching May 5th, it teaches kids that heroism isn't distant, it's everyday kindness, service and putting others first.
Pre-order at the link in my reply.

I have noticed that some are not responding to packs that people are putting out to try to bring us together.It’s 150 people in each pack. It takes approximately two hours.If people do not get responses,then they will stop taking their personal time. We all are busy,but our democracy is on the line.

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.
