CBS didn't want Colbert to talk to this candidate. He did it anyway.

With his latest scam to try and steal the midterm elections, the most corrupt and morally reprehensible pedophile president in US history is conning the American people to create a permanent fascist authoritarian government. The SAVE Act is blatant voter suppression, PERIOD.

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?
MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.
And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.
As the Constitution requires.
Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

In less than 50 years, unfettered capitalism has extracted over $80 trillion from the middle class and transferred it to the richest 0.01%.
As productivity exploded, the profits went to management and shareholders, not the workers. We must bring back Roosevelt’s New Deal measures. Tax billionaires!
