Dems should lean into sneering cosmopolitan elitism imo
it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?

HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

Trump doing everything he can to make sure Republicans don’t lose the midterms. Trump doesn’t wanna get impeached, but he also doesn’t want face any kind of accountability (hearings, or possible impeachment) for the stuff he’s doing right now. It’s like they know that what they’re doing isn’t legit.

Unions are a big part of why Minnesota just ranked in the top 5 states for quality of life.

That's why I’ll always stand up for their collective bargaining rights, safe working conditions, apprenticeship programs, fair wages, and affordable health care.

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.

ICE agents are supercool warriors who need hype videos set to Kendrick Lamar and also small little boys who have to hide their faces because 70-year-old grannies might hurt them.
Masked ICE agents roughed up and detained 71-year-old citizen Barbara Stone, who was volunteering as a legal observer at a federal courthouse in San Diego.

In a statement to a local outlet, ICE accused Stone of assaulting an officer.

There's no way this is just about "finances," given that they had plenty of finances to bribe Trump. A shame. Colbert is so funny and kind and generous, especially to writers.

It is beyond outrageous that ICE is targeting parents at their children's schools. The egregious arrest of a father with no criminal record and a pending green card application outside of a Beaverton preschool traumatized children, parents, and educators. Reprehensible. www.opb.org/article/2025...
