Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:
"And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap. Hold on."
He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

This piece also challenges the theory that the failure to indict these Dems shows system working (as @jvl.bsky.social suggests). I agree that in key ways institutional players are putting up vital resistance and I also tend toward optimism. But this level of corruption itself = systemic breakdown.

Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.
