Executives at CBS News made it clear to Late Show host Stephen Colbert: He wasn’t to interview Texas State Representative James Talarico last night.
But Colbert, who only has months left of his tenure on the show after being ousted by Paramount Global, didn’t listen.

The SAVE Act would make voting harder for millions of Americans. It’s based on the lie that noncitizens routinely vote in our elections — the truth is that noncitizen voting is already illegal and vanishingly rare.

Pretty sure dictators don't require a mechanism. Vigilance won't help, but counteraction will. What's lacking is an independent leader to bring like minded people together. It's extremely urgent; the world is depending on it, not just the US. Take Miller out, and you cut off the snakes head.
