Bravo Colbert.
It should terrify us when networks silence voices to appease regulators. This isn’t about fairness; it’s about fear. Credit to Stephen Colbert for refusing to play along. That’s the kind of courage democracy depends on.

Rubio ignores that the Americas were here before Europeans arrived. No mention of the indigenous people of North, Central, South America, or the Caribbean. Or Africa. Erasing people. As other nations strive to acknowledge & heal wounds with our Indigenous brothers and sisters, tRump via Rubio fails.

Trump’s efforts to politicize the U.S. military become even more brazen and radical
The more the president delivers highly partisan messages to active-duty troops, the more he targets a bedrock principle of the United States.
