After Stephen Colbert’s final show tonight, I look forward to never watching a CBS propaganda program ever again in my life.

I don’t even care if the 49ers are on CBS. Not watching. Masters? Nope. CBS- After Colbert tonight? (Radnich voice) BYE BYE.

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Disgraceful fraudulent traitor John Fetterman is now expressing his full support for the orange felon’s trashy unnecessary unneeded wasteful $400M ballroom and I seriously can’t wait for Pennsylvania to fire his ass.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

"We’re bringing this lawsuit because we feel a moral obligation to use our voices to protect children whose educations are being disrupted. We’re also doing it for educators who just want to return to teaching happy, curious, rambunctious students again. My goodness, we miss that." #iceoutschools

FIRED? Who gives a fuck about “fired”?!? How about “send them to jail for life”? And I mean ALL of ‘em.

Brutal column in the Kansas City Star about a local real estate company trying to avoid public scrutiny for selling ICE a property for a massive prison camp: www.kansascity.com/opinion/arti...

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE. They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

President Donald Trump and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum ordered content at national parks that “inappropriately disparage” the U.S. to be reviewed and potentially removed.

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade $163 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

I'm watching We the People with Rachel Maddow. It is a really important conversation, so profound. It shouldn't be lost on a Friday night. This should happen more, all over the country. We need this conversation. Take back our country.

This Is Fascism

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

1,500+ at our Townhall in Wichita, Kansas this morning. Working people across the nation are pissed off about this rigged economy, and they’re showing up. Wichita’s Congressman refuses to host a Townhall, so we pulled up instead.

Perhaps it's time people started getting arrested for their illegal acts. Bench warrants for not following the judge's orders.

It's like the United States is being kidnapped. We should NOT willingly go to the second location. Be bold, be dead weight, bite, kick, scratch. If you go to the second location, your chances of survival drop dramatically.
