We need Colbert’s bold and frank commentary now as much as ever, and we need to stop corporations like CBS from cowing to political intimidation of this administration. Add your name to the petition t...

Cancelling $400 in federal grants and contracts has nothing to do with anti-semitism. Trump knows that universities are a powerhouse when it comes to anti-government protests, and this is a clear threat to any school that stands by its students’ 1st amendment rights in the fight to come.

“Shut your mouth” and “You’re not President.” There’s a reason this kid thinks he can talk to Trump that way, and it’s not just “boys will be boys.” It’s because he’s seen the way his father treats Trump behind closed doors, and he’s just aping daddy. Dollars to donuts-Elon has something on Trump.

Read this, then call your Senators and Representatives. They have the power to stop this, but we have to give them both a reason to act and political cover when they do. A flood of angry constituents calls provides both. 🧪
Some people asked if I could list real impacts from some of the recent federal decisions. Here are SOME real impacts our team has faced already in 3 weeks:
