Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host.
"Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.
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.
Call Blackburn & Hagerty and make them know you know

Go Kendrick!
In 1994, I took a lot of heat for this speech warning that the American middle class was in danger. Watch and tell me if I was wrong. https://youtu.be/Bnd0eSuxu84?si=Iw9SwyzxCB9MXBpb
I served 10 years in the USAF.
Morale, at this moment, is incredibly low. The elephant in the room is we hardly have enough people volunteering to serve relative to the MASSIVE need.
Knee jerk decisions like LA and now Iran don’t help. Few want to be forced to do something questionable.
My husband who served in USAF as a pilot and retired as a Major lost #VABenefits … Let that sink in!
"Do you want America to be at war with Iran?"
No: 85%
Yes: 5%

"I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves. Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone. That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins. If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after" Sahar Delijani, Iranian author
Perfectly expressed.
“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines”

Oliver North on Fox News complaining that Iran has missiles is... I mean, do they even know who the fuck he is and what he did? He sold Iran missiles!
Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?
You’re kidding.
The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.
Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
They are straight up speed-running the resegregation of the federal government and the erasure of all non-white male history
No Joke!
I suspect someone may have already done this... I took the current NASA Earth fleet chart of operating and planned Earth observing missions and crossed out those recommended for cancellation in the President's budget request. It's disturbing.
I’m so excited to announce that my book was published today! The book retells the life of Charles Sumner, an abolitionist senator who co-framed the Reconstruction Amendments. I wrote this book with my blood, sweat & tears as a student at Yale Law School. (1/x)
David Brooks, a conservative columnist speaks about the amount of people who have died directly as a result of cuts to USAID by Doge.
Over 55,000 adults, 6,000 children just from AIDS. That’s a total of 300,000 who have died due to Doge’s cuts.
It’s only been four months.
