Update: We reported in July that Trump was poised to slash regulations protecting the public and the environment during rocket launches by companies like SpaceX.

On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order making it happen.

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely.

But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely.

Miss me with this bs.

ABSOLUTELY NOT
This is unconscionable. Our entire profession should be up in arms.

Masked law enforcement and now anonymous lawyers. Our courts are open as is our legal system. If you can’t put your name to your representation as a lawyer then you should not be allowed to appear in court. @americanbar.org

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Done. You?
Bribing Trump, firing Colbert, and now bringing on Bari Weiss.

I'm not watching CBS News or reading CBS News articles. I'm not watching Paramount movies or shows. I am done with Paramount and CBS. They have sided with fascism, and we must side against them to preserve democracy. It's that simple.

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.

"The optics are hard to ignore: a top-rated show, led by one of Trump’s most vocal critics, axed just weeks after Paramount settled a lawsuit with Trump and began courting conservative media figures for leadership roles," @passantino.bsky.social writes. www.status.news/p/colbert-ca...
Colbert and Capitulation
The end of "The Late Show" isn’t ultimately about budgets, it’s a sign of the ideological shift at CBS that will take place under David Ellison's Skydance Media.
