Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

🚨BOMBSHELL: Former State Dept. official Joel Rubin says Trump’s Iran Deal pullout let Iran stockpile 9–10 bombs’ worth of nuclear material. Before Trump? Iran needed 1 year to ready a bomb. After he tore up the deal? Just 7–10 days.

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple.
Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
