Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislatuβ¦
The Craven Broadcasting System thought it better to cower from Brendan Carr rather than air this thoughtful Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social. It was fifteen minutes well spent this morning to watch it.

Thank you. Nowβ¦what actions are you taking to address the recklessness of Noem, whom you voted to confirm? While you may not be up for reelection this cycle, your name is on these actions as well.
Six months ago you urged βaccountability.β Howβs that going? Please go further.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Martin Luther King Jr. devoted his life to fighting for justice and equality. Today, as divisions in our world deepen, his vision is not just inspiring, it is urgent. The work he began continues, and it is up to all of us to carry it forward.

Editorial | Minnesota is under siege. This cannot stand.
"What we are witnessing is the storming of the state by the federal government," the Editorial Board writes.
Minnesota Star Tribune Editorial Board: Minnesota is under siege. This cannot stand.
"ICE presence has disrupted all aspects of life in Minnesota, and led tragically to the death of Renee Good. Itβs the outcome of government overreach that favors force over legitimacy."

News Team,
Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier.
I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity.
Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one.
We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed
to kill the story.
If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we
have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient.
If the standard for airing a story becomes
"the government must agree to be
interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast.
We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state.
These men risked their lives to speak with us.
We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their
stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.
CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones.
We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it.
When it fails to air without a credible
explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet.
I care too much about this broadcast to watch
it be dismantled without a fight.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.
The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.
Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

This morning, theΒ Trump Administrationβs Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

A high-contrast poster with bold, urgent text superimposed over a photograph of the United States Capitol Dome. The image is taken from a slightly low angle, showing the dome's architecture against a cloudy sky, with an American flag flying in the foreground. The primary text, in large, black, sans-serif font, demands: "TELL CONGRESS: STOP THE TRUMP SHUTDOWN AND FIX THE LOOMING HEALTH CARE CRISIS." A large, horizontal orange bar contains a call to action: "CALL SPEAKER JOHNSON: 844-896-5059." The AFL-CIO logo is in the top right corner.
Our message to the Trump administration is clear: Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis.
Put working people first.
Call congress now -

Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he's causing families.
We'll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority.
There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.
