It’s important that you understand what happened last night.

Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue.

In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired.

CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.”

In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump.

But censorship always backfires.

Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

AOC: Susan Collins voted for every reckless budget that allowed ICE to have this level of impunity. She voted for masks. She voted for surveillance technology. She voted to make ICE what it is today, so I am very uninterested in what she thinks is good for the American people.

A federal court just upheld California’s law REQUIRING federal agents to identify themselves.

California will keep standing up for civil rights and our democracy.

BREAKING: @AOC just completely went off on Trump after ICE murdered Alex Pretti.

"Donald Trump [is] accusing a Veteran Affairs ICU nurse (Alex Pretti) as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating services members to our country, who was dedicating his life to serving Americans. Who in his final act on this earth was helping a woman pushed to the ground. And they are calling him a Domestic Terrorist, in order to defend their gross abuse of power, their absolute breaching of the law and in order to precipitate greater conflict."

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

We came to demand justice for Renee Good and everyone who has been terrorized by unqualified ICE agents — led by an unqualified DHS Secretary and an unqualified President.

Archaeologists will date the collapse of the American Empire to the moment Vanilla Ice performed with a Ninja Turtle at Mar-a-Lago. The ruins will mostly contain stolen classified docs, a lone half-melted golden toilet and a profound sense of regret.

Never forget this: The GOP’s nonsensical culture war is meant to distract you from corporate corruption, worker oppression, and staggering wealth inequality.
