AOC on Randy Fine: “This is genuinely one of the most disgusting statements I have ever seen issued by an American official — It should not stop shocking us that the Republican Party openly embraces this — Fine should be censured & stripped of committees. To ignore this is to accept & normalize it”

Executives at CBS News made it clear to Late Show host Stephen Colbert: He wasn’t to interview Texas State Representative James Talarico last night.
But Colbert, who only has months left of his tenure on the show after being ousted by Paramount Global, didn’t listen.

CBS didn't want Colbert to talk to this candidate. He did it anyway.

When we kick MAGA out and they become electoral poison (and yes, I'm not a Doom-and-Gloomer. I believe that these things will happen), it's going to be most interesting to witness how the legacy media overlords will account for their servility before der Scheissführer and his minions.
