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.

@MbarkCherguia Jim Breuer. Did a goat man impersonation. Wasn’t funny and that was his best bit.

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

A literally extra-ordinary statement by Bill Clinton.

[Allen GP @GPto7Gb]

@KeithOlbermann @espn @stephenasmith Per the internet: SaS said the shoot in Minneapolis was justified. KO says that’s crossed into hurting the brand.

[Allen GP @GPto7Gb]

@Dodgers He’s had a great year. Perfect spot to leave the game. Well done young man!

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Trump thinks he's losing Pennsylvania...

Stay in line Philly!

[Stephen Curry @StephenCurry30]

This is why we all need to vote! Polls are open today until 8pm.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Jordan did not endorse Trump. Brady did not endorse Trump. Tony Hawk did not endorse Trump. No Community Note.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene is losing ground in Georgia.

Several reports say that she doesn't have a ground game after the local GOP doesn't want to support her.

Can we give her opponent, General Shawn Harris, a big boost?

Let's get @ShawnForGeorgia to 200,000 followers.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Stay in line and VOTE no matter how long it takes!

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Back to reality.

[Heather Thomas @HeatherThomasAF]

Please understand that this platform is about to become the very least reliable source of information in the aggregate if Trump starts losing tomorrow.

Coup Two requires people to feel "robbed" and Musk is going to go into overdrive making the MAGAs feel that.

Important joint ODNI, FBI, and CISA Statement within the last hour:

“Since our statement on Friday, the IC has been observing foreign adversaries, particularly Russia, conducting additional influence operations intended to undermine public confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections and stoke divisions among Americans. The IC expects these activities will intensify through election day and in the coming weeks, and that foreign influence narratives will focus on swing states.
Russia is the most active threat.“

Super useful resource for following along with election-night results:

[Heather Thomas @HeatherThomasAF]

If you are turned away at the polls, your response [verbatim] should be as follows: “Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt, as required by law.”
Pass it on.

[Barb McQuade @BarbMcQuade]

Federal prosecutors are on call in every district in the country. Interfering with voting rights is a federal offense. Any effort to intimidate, harass, threaten or harm voters will result in a visit from the FBI. Witnesses or victims may call 9-1-1. (Making a false report is a crime, too!) Let’s keep voting safe, free, and fair.

NEW — and several months in the making — my final look beneath the hood of Trump 2024.

Pour a cup of coffee and find a comfy chair.
