LOL. Stephen Colbert and James Talarico showed Ultra MAGA CBS that they do not hold the power over Colbert they think they do. If CBS allowed the Talarico interview to be shown it would have had around 2.3 million views. As of noon today over 11 million watched it online. #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Trump is badly losing the war over ICE, not just on the streets, but also in the culture. As Bad Bunny shows, this has become a culture war unto itself. Trump-MAGA's initial hubris has been utterly deflated.
