Yet another example that Bari Weiss is not a real journalist.

A smart party secretary would've allowed the full interview to air on the last night of a holiday weekend when everyone had to get to bed early, posted a few tame Talarico soundbites to distract from his spicy quotes, and moved on.
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.

It's Stephen Colbert versus CBS lawyers – another sign of the Trump admin's intensifying pressure against broadcast TV networks – and we're covering it on CNN 📺 now, on cable and streaming, where FCC rules do not apply www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/m...

Who talks like that? Who talks like that from a position of power? He’s so beneath the position that he holds.

We all must stand up. There are more of us than them.
Attorney General Pam Bondi tells a member of a co-equal branch of government during a public hearing: “You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up loser lawyer.” The disdain for our own government is appalling. This administration is destroying our democracy.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Minnesota is still under attack.

Federal thugs swarmed Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. Witnesses report tear gas used on students and staff. At least two school employees were handcuffed. Video evidence is circulating. DHS is denying it happened 🤬

Schools should be safe havens!

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

agree.. as someone who also looks at their feed I would never describe it as left-wing either.
I don’t subscribe to Apple News but I see the feed all the time and “left wing news” is not how I would describe it.

I guess because it doesn’t promote the Federalist that makes it liberal …?
Apple News is an enormous driver of traffic for many publishers that have seen link referrals crater with the rise of AI Overviews/LLMs. If Apple News responds to this by promoting a fever swamp of far-right partisan outlets, many news sites are gonna get utterly walloped

they are obviously capable of investigating...
Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.

If AG Bondi claims to care about Epstein survivors, why did she reveal their identities but redact the names of the rich pedophiles and sex abusers who hurt them?

She must take accountability for this cover-up and finally deliver the justice these victims deserve.

yes you will and YES, YOU DID!
I will be holding AG Pam Bondi accountable in front of the House Judiciary Committee today. Epstein survivors deserve justice and I will fight for them, for accountability, and for the American people.
