An astonishingly comprehensive list, with a great lede:

"Here are 50 examples of unhinged behavior by a man who possesses the nuclear codes. Donald Trump’s supporters and some journalists ignore or laugh off his individual bizarre actions. Taken together, they’re cause for deep alarm."

Someone tell Bari about the Streisand effect
Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

They should also be asked whether they believe in restrictions on contraception - from birth control pills and IUDs to the morning after pill. Ask what they think of the Trump administration’s claim that these are “abortifacient contraceptives”

It wasn’t so long ago that CNN sat down for a serious conversation with these guys. One of them is Pete Hegseth’s pastor.

Pretending these assholes are still ‘fringe’ is a dangerous mistake

Paramount's censorship of this Colbert interview w/ Rep. James Talarico will get more people to watch than if it had aired on TV.

Skydance, parent co of Paramount & CBS, complied in advance. FCC chair, Brendan Carr is flexing so CBS barred Colbert from airing his interview with TX Senate candidate, Rep. James Talarico
Therefore, don't share this link of the Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social
