Colbert Doesn’t Give an FCC About Calling Out CBS

Stephen Colbert said that the FCC and CBS - which is in no way a compromised or complicit organization - wouldn’t allow him to broadcast an interview with Democratic State Rep James Talarico. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/a...

Incredible.

Trump recently suggested that he is getting ready to issue a new anti-voting executive order. Last time he issued one, we sued and won. If he does it again, we will sue and win. Trump knows this. It is why he and his allies hate and attack me.

I will never back down or stop fighting for democracy.

Wow.

👀 Invoking Orwell, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore panels and historical acknowledgments of the history of slavery that the National Park Service removed in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every lawyer knows the rules: candor, decorum, respect for the tribunal. Pam Bondi shredded all of them, shouting over members, spitting insults, dodging basic oversight. In any courtroom in America she’d be held in contempt before her first outburst.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

The president had his DOJ raid an election office and seize ballots. Now it turns out the whole thing is just election deniers telling the same old lies. Our democracy is in danger but I founded Democracy Docket to help keep you informed on the fight ahead. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Rep. Delia Ramirez has been an incredible leader during these dark times.

Country Singer, songwriter Charley Crockett well said......

DOJ Deleted an Epstein Prosecution Memo About Possible Co-Conspirators. We Saved It. An 86-page DOJ memo detailing possible Epstein co-conspirators vanished after reporters asked questions. But we saved a copy.

Great work here from @meiselasb.bsky.social and @meidastouch.com

My law firm intervened in every case DOJ has filed to gain access to states' sensitive voting data. So far we have won several and lost none. But this is going to be a long fight for free and fair elections.

No wonder the orange toddler is unhinged once again.

The Obamas are competent, classy, loving, Harvard and Princeton graduates, loved by many, not on the Epstein files, got the Nobel Peace Prize, and gave us a steady economy to boot.

Repost this if you agree they are AMAZING and an inspiration!

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

...and if we request a source for this evidentiary material, we might be directed to a Library of Congress catalog number. Hell, if the government and AI app are in full embrace, the number will check out and the imagery will be on file.

As the Chinese curse has it, we live in interesting times.

If you can't stand up for a fellow journalist when she's being ridiculously bullied and demeaned for asking a basic question of a public leader, you sure as hell aren't going stand up for anything as abstract as a national principle or ethos.

American journalism is dying. And with it, our republic.

Attorney for government tells judge in ICE case: 'This job sucks' Julie Le made the remark while she was representing the U.S. attorney’s office in Minnesota, where federal officers are conducting a massive immigration crackdown.

NEW: A government attorney who was detailed to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota is no longer on that detail after telling a judge “this job sucks” and asking to be held in contempt so she could get 24 hours of sleep: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Garcia: I want to remind the American public of Stephen Miller. There's probably no single person in this government that has done more damage and more harm to people across this country than this man right here. It's our job to hold him responsible

Wow

Judge Ana Reyes-in her decision to reinstate TPS for Haitians living in America-called DHS Secretary Kristi Noem a racist

Good

“Plaintiffs charge that Secretary Noem preordained her termination decision and did so because of hostility to nonwhite immigrants. This seems substantially likely”

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad.

Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

Yep, trying too hard...

Oh!

This is who we’re letting poison Memphis and drill a hole in nashville?

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

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.

Stay free

"We'll take our stand for this land & the stranger in our midst..."

Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis.
Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫

Omar: I instinctively tried to, like, punch him…, I was raised with three brothers who were older than me. You learn that maybe taking the first punch when somebody is bigger than you yields you better results.

Bruce Springsteen and What Protest Songs Sound Like to Soldiers What the rock icon’s new song about Minneapolis asks of us.

"This represents a profound shift in protest music—and arguably in the nation itself. This is a song about the values we are testing. It asks what we are willing to preserve when the lines between security and coercion, order and justice, begin to blur."
