Reminder: At the start of his legal career, RFK Jr. failed the bar, was forced out as a D.A., and got arrested for heroin. Without the Kennedy name, that story ends there.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion

Russia is the aggressor! Russia invaded Ukraine! Russia must be forced to make concessions if we want to avoid future war. Instead, Ukraine is pressured to make them, which will encourage future wars. It's our land! Our people live there! Disrespectful and disgusting.

A dozen or more transgender members of the U.S. Air Force who had sought early retirement to avoid being discharged for their gender identity have had those retirements canceled. Each has served between 15 and 18 years.

This is not the most important thing, but 60 Minutes has taken the knee for Trump and Colbert's been given his walking papers for speaking against Trump. Basically, Paramount has fully submitted to the fascists, Paramount owns Nickelodeon, so if Nick News ever comes back, don't fucking trust it.

I am sure Stephen Colbert knew exactly what he was doing when he blasted Trump and his show’s parent company Paramount live on air. I hope he uses his remaining time to similar good effect. We need more people like him, unafraid to speak truth to Trump.

A few years ago, I ran into Jon Stewart on the steps of the Capitol and told him how much his work influenced me and made me less apathetic about politics and played a role in me getting into journalism. The same goes for Colbert and I hope I get to tell him one day.

“CBS canceled Colbert’s show just three days after Colbert called out CBS owner Paramount for its $16 settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery,” Senator Elizabeth Warren wrote in a statement on social media.“ And so it begins… fuck. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: "This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Major General Randy E. Manner, former Acting Vice Chief, National Guard Bureau statement to Fox News: “The President's federal deployment of the National Guard over the official wishes of a governor is bad for all Americans concerned about freedom of speech and states rights. The governor has the authority and ability to respond to the civil disturbances with law enforcement capabilities within his state, augmented as necessary by requesting law enforcement assistance from other governors. There are over a million badged and trained members of law enforcement in this country for the governor to ask for help if he needs it. While this is presently a legal order, it tramples the governor’s rights and obligations to protect his people. This is an inappropriate use of the National Guard and is not warranted.”

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Donald Trump accepted a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar, one of the biggest financial supporters of the Hamas terrorist regime, reserved for his personal use after he leaves office - and everyone's just going to forget about it by next week.
