Colbert Says CBS Refused To Air His Interview With Democrat Candidate Fearing FCC Blowback The Late Show host’s interview of Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico was published on his YouTube channel, but didn’t air on CBS due to the FCC’s ‘equal time’ mandate.

More protest art please.

This stuff is powerful, and it records and fights injustice. It helps others see that pushing back is possible and right.

The Trump FCC stopped this Talarico interview from airing on CBS, which means we all need to watch it on YouTube. Please give it a watch, it’s a fun interview.

uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

To avoid swearing in a duly elected Democratic House member who will force a vote to release the Epstein files, the House is in recess indefinitely

Michigan Avenue right now.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

1/ Donald Trump is attempting to deploy the National Guard to Portland and Chicago—using members of our military as political pawns—under the false pretense that these cities are war zones.

This. Is. A. Lie.
