CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

“Upon Musk’s request, Young procured a massive TV for Musk’s office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building so he could play video games, according to a person familiar with the situation granted anonymity to speak freely.”
In West Wing Playbook today, we recount the extraordinary two-day testimony of CFPB operations chief Adam Martinez, who provided the most detailed look yet at DOGE’s takeover and attempted dismantling of a federal agency.

It takes real work not to adapt to this constant corruption and crime. Do not normalize the theft. That’s what Trump and Musk are counting on.
“Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to steal from us so regularly, so openly, so unapologetically that Americans just accept it as normal. We can’t let them. This is not normal… Six weeks in, Trump’s White House is on its way to being the most corrupt in U.S. history.” @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
“I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we’re seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt? Or isn’t actually getting stories about the corruption?”

Abortions are set to resume in Missouri after a judge blocked regulations that had restricted providers even after voters approved enshrining abortion rights into the state’s constitution.
Abortions to resume in Missouri after judge blocks restrictions
The ruling came after a Kansas City judge ruled last year that abortions were now legal in the state but kept certain regulations on the books while a lawsuit played out.

Musk’s anti-constitutional coup is of supreme importance, because it would unravel the republic itself.
