Just watched Stephen Colbert's officially-censored interview with Rep. James Talarico and was quite impressed. As a Presbyterian Seminarian, Talarico has clearly spent much time and effort contemplating the scripture and has concluded that so-called "Christian Nationalism" is clearly not Christian.

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

France, Germany and other European countries have demanded the resignation of Francesca Albanese for calling Israel "the common enemy of humanity".

The problem is... she never said that. The video was manipulated by AI and taken at face value by governments.

@euronews.com fact checks
Did Francesca Albanese really call Israel 'the enemy of humanity'?
Last week, France, Germany and others called for the resignation of Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, over an alleged anti-semitic comment about Israel. Her supporters say the claim is based on misinformation. #TheCube

Europe is watching Ukraine slowly bleed to death—and making excuses for why it cannot act.

Hanna Hopko, Roman Sohn and I highlight the excuses for inaction, why they don't hold up, and what Europe must do:

Stephen Colbert, with grace and humor, is making his network overlords look like the most pathetic cowards imaginable, and that’s what they are. The last two nights have been a masterclass in courage and precise examples of how everyone should deal with this stupid administration.

CBS can try to obey in advance by pressuring Stephen Colbert to silence his interview with James Talarico, the gifted communicate running for the U.S. Senate in Texas, but people can see what’s happening—& can listen to the convo on YouTube. Brendan Carr & the FCC’s free speech attack will backfire.

Bloomberg says we've spent $3B on Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

Which is 6X more than the cancer, Alzheimer, diabetes, and heart disease cures they've cut to pay for it.
