I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.

Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is Project 2025 in legislative form. Here’s how it quietly turns a far-right wishlist into federal law:
- Sec. 10008 - Expands work requirements for SNAP
- Project 2025: Pushes “moral reform” to make low-income people work more for food assistance.

The Trump administration just sent the Secret Service to my house for posting "8647" on social media. They are literally redefining phrase as threats just so they can go after their political opponents.

A Member of Congress —who was at the facility today with the Newark mayor — told Alicia Menendez on air tonight that the Newark mayor was *invited* into the detention facility. And then when he left, ICE arrested him for trespass!

We are not under invasion.
There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights.

Stephen Miller: "The writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at."

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

Senator Angus King (I-ME) reaching to history to recall Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) and her 1950 stand against what she called "Republican Fascists." (King does not hold Chase's seat; Senator Susan Collins (R) does.)
Margaret Chase Smith’s words ring more true — and urgent — today than when she first spoke them. Americans should put aside politics and return to what unites us: the Constitution. We can disagree about policy, but we cannot waver on our commitment to our founding principles.
