this piece makes some important points including:
1) The FCC hasn't actually changed the late night equal time rules
2) Enforcement of a violation would be very limited usually requiring equal time for the other candidate(s)
Given all that, why did CBS censor Colbert? To keep Trump happy.

"I want the rest of the world to understand the full toll the surge has taken, and even more important, the full scope of resistance"
“The level of resistance in Minneapolis simply would not be possible if there were only “activists” or “protesters” involved. People from all walks of life are using whatever skills and resources they have to stand up for our communities.”

There's another world leader who has a lot more power and actually stumbles quite a bit more than AOC. Really curious why the Times doesn't frame his comments as having "some stumbles" as well!

Withdrawal from NATO. Abolishing the Federal Reserve. Terminating aid to Ukraine. These are the positions of both Vladimir Putin and Rep. Thomas Massie.

This is astounding! We must organize to bring this statue to a new, important location.
If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''
On this day in 1921, Congress reluctantly accepted a sculpture memorializing women’s 19th A victory. Congress relegated the memorial to the Capitol’s crypt & painted over the feminist inscription. The statue stayed entombed in the crypt for 76 years. The inscription is still not restored. #WeTheMen

This how you isolate and capture "the worst of the worst" of these dangerous immigrants. You show yourself to be in need of help, and the worst criminals reveal themselves and their criminality by doing whatever they can to provide you with help.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.
