Colbert needs to take a page out of Conan’s book and become an absolute menace for the remainder of his run.
And then he should hit the road and bring his brand straight to the people once it’s over.

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.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.
And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.
