Every time I watch Stephen Colbert, I think of May 21, 2026, where his last show airs from The Ed Sullivan Theater in NY.
It ends, not because he has bad ratings, but — I believe — because CBS does not have the courage to continue to speak truth to power.
I hope with all my heart, that Stephen Colbert finds a different path, where he can continue informing the public in the unique and entertaining way he masters so well.
In this decisive moment in history, we need all hands on deck.
I want him.to take them on directly, not as entertainment. If Colbert runs for President, if he is asked by enough people to run, I would support.
No.idea what that badiclly decent kind man is doing next, but I can't wait.
Colbert wasn't fired, he was ignited.

'Global Entry' is a security program to allow easier border crosding.
"ICE protester says her Global Entry was revoked after agent scanned her face"
So there it is -- automated fascism.
AI will take generations to remove, automated fascism will take something larger and deeper.

Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

#TedLieu continued: “I demand this committee, this chairman & #Republicans, call an immediate hearing asking why the Department of Justice is refusing to release 99% of the #EpsteinFiles & why the #DOJ is violating the #law right now.”
DOJ said earlier this month that it has released <1% of its Epstein-related files, with >2 million documents still being reviewed.

“Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential #election, President #Trump engaged in a #criminal scheme to overturn the results & prevent the lawful transfer of power,” #JackSmith wrote in his prepared statement.

“ #Republicans would rather talk about the #criminality of Donald #Trump in trying to steal an #election & trying to stop the #PeacefulTransitionOfPower, & the criminality of Donald Trump in stealing #ClassifiedDocuments & #ObstructionOfJustice than about Donald Trump’s associations with Jeffrey #Epstein & his #pedophilia ring,” #Rep TedLieu said.

Rep #MaryScanlon (D-PA) is finally getting #JackSmith to get into the nitty gritty of the #evidence. Her questioning allowed Smith to discuss evidence given under oath that #Pennsylvania officials told #Trump unequivocally that he had lost the election in their state & that the #ConspiracyTheories he was peddling about PA were false & proven to be false. This goes directly to Trump’s knowledge that he was perpetrating a #fraud upon the American people.

Former special counsel #JackSmith is publicly testifying before the #House #Judiciary Committee today.
The hearing will examine the operations of Smith’s office & his team’s investigations and prosecutions of #Trump & his co-defendants, according to the committee.

Rep #HankJohnson (D-GA) is also questioning #JackSmith very effectively. Unfortunately it is very clear that this “hearing” is designed to be a sound bite generator for the #Republicans to shop around to #FarRight #media outlets.

Rep #ZoeLofgren (D-CA) is an effective questioner. She introduced #evidence from Smith’s investigation that #LindseyGraham under oath told Smith’s team that if somebody told #Trump that #aliens came down & stole Trump ballots, that Trump would've believed it.
Rep #DarrellIssa (R-CA) behaved outrageously, he basically ranted, never allowed #JackSmith to answer & stole extra time. #JamieRaskin tried to negate that stolen time by talking simultaneously in objection so Issa couldn’t keep testifying.

Also the grandstanding performative courtroom drama behavior of the #congress members is quite heavy handed. #JackSmith who has repeatedly been described as measured & calm is coming off a little stiff especially because he keeps being interrupted. He needs to come back at them like they are hostile witnesses.
