Stephen Colbert gave America truth with a laugh. Now he’s silenced—not for ratings, but for daring to speak against power. CBS calls it “financial.” We know better. This is a blow to satire, democracy, and every voice brave enough to mock a king. We just lost a lighthouse.

Colbert's cancelation is a sad day for the entertainment industry. I fear he won't be the last.

You know when you were a kid and your parents made you go to some other kid’s birthday party that you didn’t want to go to but you went anyway because you knew there would be food and cake and probably something fun to do? I think that’s what today feels like for a lot of people.

You should definitely call or write your Representative and Senators offices incessantly and let them know how pissed off you are that they let this bill pass.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party officially sold out working people.
Every single Republican now owns the fact that 17 MILLION people will lose health care.
Every Republican now owns the fact that grocery costs will go up.
We cannot let them forget this.

Next time someone in Congress glibly dismisses your need for healthcare, remember that they have some of the best healthcare in the country. And it was paid for by YOU.

Rubio does the dirtbag fascist thing of just yelling and talking over people with bad faith bullshit. You know people like this in real life. It's trash in everyday life and it's beyond contemptible when authoritarians do it to deny us our fundamental rights. Immoral, fascist gasbag.

The test of a successful president has nothing to do with how much he gets done in 100 days or how much power he accumulates.
The real test is how much better off are the people, and how much stronger is our democracy.
By these measures, the second term of Trump is a travesty.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power.
