The actual victims need to have their voices heard.

Congressional Dems should convene hearings, unofficial if needed, to just let the victims testify. Let their voices be heard in the Capitol.
Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “It makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.”

One key job of the media is to tell truth to power. Not just journalists, but interviewers, comedians, artists and others. Stephen Colbert did that. This cancellation is political. It’s part of Paramount’s capitulation to Trump. My appetite for CBS and Paramount+ programming is now near zero.

I think like many, many people I find the idea that CBS has just cancelled Colbert out of the blue like this for financial reasons *highly* implausible. He’s the most viewed late night host on TV, and his ratings have been going up.
NEW YORK (AP) — Stephen Colbert tells studio audience CBS is canceling 'The Late Show,' to end in May 2026.

Was cancellation of the Colbert show a secret side agreement in CBS parent Paramount's $16 million lawsuit settlement with Trump? Seems like an amazing coincidence if it wasn't.

US President Donald Trump praised Liberian President Joseph Boakai for his strong grasp of the English language on Wednesday. But the African leader was educated in Liberia, where English is the official language.

CNN is reporting the FEMA response was delayed 3 days because of Noem’s cost controls, and FEMA officials were “taken aback” by how limited the agency’s response was.

Trump has fallen slap bang into the trap laid for him by Netanyahu. His reckless gamble makes a nuclear weapon for Iran more, not less, likely, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

🚨Watch out for this story tomorrow (FRI).

A group of Catholic bishops, priests & faith leaders are going to the federal court building in San Diego to stand in solidarity with migrants at their hearings.

ICE has already assaulted elected officials. Will they beat up priests next?

PSA: If you’re protesting today, turn the biometrics on your phone OFF. No facial recognition, no fingerprint, PASSCODE ACCESS ONLY. Law enforcement can make you unlock your phone with those, but they can’t make you use your passcode. That gives you a case in court should they go that route anyway.

By popular request, linking Mikie Sherrill's "3 kinds of incompetence," which is also superb. Best part is she dings him for his Fox News tactics and then ... those Fox News tactics fail. Second best part is this kicks off her Gubernatorial campaign against a MAGAt.

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to "return control of the California National Guard" to CA Gov. Newsom, finding that Trump's order taking control was illegal because it did not follow the required procedure.

The order is stayed until noon Friday.

This is precisely the speech we needed @governor.ca.gov to give. It’s very good. I recommend you listen to it.
This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now.

Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump.

This is how you want a leader to talk.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
