Medicaid is not a burden. To address Colorado’s budget crisis, we must shift our focus to the real culprit behind our budget issues.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

This was the order of events:
1. Paramount acceded to Trump’s extortion by paying a bribe.
2. Stephen Colbert calls his employer out for doing that.
3. Paramount fires Stephen Colbert for being honest about Trump.
4. Proving Trump’s bribe worked.

Got nothing to add to the expert commentary on SCOTUS. But: it’s one more iteration of a common phenomenon of this time: people with immense power seeming to live in a different reality over those they rule.
