The real reason CBS didn't let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico is that the Ellisons are still trying to buy Warner Bros.

David Ellison runs Paramount, which owns CBS.

He's using CBS to show what loyal oligarchs they are as they seek FCC approval for a WBD deal.

Barrett’s one of the most vulnerable Republicans out there.

A campaign that thought it was winning wouldn’t be wasting time FOIAing emails from a teacher—and one of its constituents

New AP-NORC poll:

36% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing as president

Trump is 20 points underwater on the economy & 22 points underwater on immigration

69% say the country is on the wrong track
29% say we're on the right track

No wonder Trump is trying to stop people from voting

ICE's mere presence near schools terrorizes students and disrupts educators' teaching. Fear and cruelty have no place there.

This is why @neatoday.bsky.social is taking legal action to demand long-standing protections for sensitive locations—like schools—be restored. #ICEOutSchools bit.ly/46368zA

I met with PA @pseaorg.bsky.social @neatoday.bsky.social teachers this week in DC. They shared heartbreaking stories from our community about kids who are too scared to come to school, afraid that they, or someone in their family, will be taken by ICE. The American people have had enough of this.
