I adore Colbert. From "Strangers w Candy" to his current late night show, he's funny & whip smart. The mf at the FCC is a partisan hack who will be held accountable.

Stephen Colbert: “I don't usually say this to a guest, but if people are watching this right now, it's cause they found us online on YouTube”

James Talarico: “This is the party that ran against cancel culture — and now they're trying to control what we watch, what we say, what we read”

The president’s redefining of domestic terrorism threatens Americans’ free speech rights, from joining a protest march to posting on social media. It also aims to impose draconian punishments for actions that are far removed from actual terrorism. bit.ly/4qwExhh

This can’t be shared too much. Trump & his FCC crony are censoring who talk show hosts can invite as their guests-James Talarico on Colbert. Corp media—is selling out our 1A rights to curry favor w/a corrupt regime. This is dangerous when censoring comes from the top! We must stand against this!

This is a bombshell: One of Epstein's victims accused Trump of sexually and violently assaulting her when she was "13 to 15" and the FBI deemed her credible enough to warrant an interview.

Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

The $2.5 million investigation, which has subpoena power, aims to close gaps in NM law that may have allowed Epstein to operate there.

According to James Talarico, 47 had the FCC stop the airing of this interview of James Talarico by Stephen Colbert because he is afraid Texas will flip blue.

The pathetic censorship of James Talarico’s interview by CBS and the Trump regime had the predictable effect, instead of burying the subject, they lit it up like fireworks. Every attempt to gag ends up as a free show, and the Republican Party once again reaps the ridicule it sows.
