The giveaway at tonight’s @Cubs game was Opening Night baseball hats. Here’s mine from the first night game ever at Wrigley Field on 8/8/88.

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.

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

BREAKING: Ice appears to have just killed someone just now in South Minneapolis on 26th and Nicollet Ave.

Reports indicate the man was shot 3 times in the chest after being surrounded by ICE.

WTF AMERICA!

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨ANOTHER ICE KILLING

MAJOR BREAKING: A video is circulating online of ICE agents appearing to EXECUTE a man on a Minnesota sidewalk who was resisting arrest.

We’re waiting for more facts but the video is terrifying. Viewer discretion advised:

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨🔥HOLY SHIT: This is Minneapolis right now.

Thousands in the streets in subzero weather, shutting the city down, demanding ICE out.

Corporate media can ignore it, but history won’t.

Last time Chicago beat Green Bay in the playoffs was one week after Pearl Harbor.

This is what it looked like. Thank you @NFLFilms

CBS just debunked the MAGA talking points on fraud in Minnesota. CBS is now run by conservatives and even they are calling the lies out. Share this around.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Listen to Nick Shirley. He is a complete moron.

You are trusting an ignorant clickbaiter.

He thinks day care centers should have a public reception area.

MAGA trusts this guy because it distracts from the Epstein files and the fact their groceries keep going up.

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

CNN confronted Nick Shirley on his claims of fraud in Minnesota and he sounds like a complete idiot. He can’t back anything up and just stumbled his way through the interview. This is the guy they’re relying on???

Here's a broadcast quality version of the 60 Minutes segment Bari Weiss censored. It's much better than the bootlegs going around.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump is calling Reagan’s words in this video “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad. Watch this clip and read the full transcript:

Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. Now, there are sound historical reasons for this. For those of us who lived through the Great Depression, the memory of the suffering it caused is deep and searing. And today, many economic analysts and historians argue that high tariff legislation passed back in that period, called the Smoot-Hawley tariff, greatly deepened the depression and prevented economic recovery.

You see, at first when someone says, let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes for a short while, it works, but only for a short time. What eventually occurs is, first, homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets.

And then, while all this is going on, something even worse occurs. High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers, and less and less competition. So soon, because of the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency and poor management, people stop buying.

Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industry shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs. The memory of all this occurring back in the 30s made me determined when I came to Washington to spare the American people the protectionist legislation that destroys prosperity. Now, it hasn't always been easy. There are those in the Congress, just as there were back in the 30s, who want to go for the quick political advantage, who risk America's prosperity for the sake of a short-term appeal to some special interest group, who forget that more than 5 million American jobs are directly tied to the foreign export business, and additional millions are tied to imports.

Well, I've never forgotten those jobs. And on trade issues, by and large, we've done well.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

[Really American 🇺🇸 @ReallyAmerican1]

BREAKING: After the release of an ad that caused Trump's tantrum ending trade talks with Canada, the original video of Ronald Reagan slamming tariffs has resurfaced. He called the new ad "fake."

The original destroys Trump on tariffs.
Share this widely.

ICE tackle worker to ground—stop beating him & rush to pull up their masks—only after someone yells: "You guys are on film!"

"The is a very hard worker who never caused trouble," said local contractor.

ICE demanded journalist hand over this video—but newspapers are not required to provide law enforcement anything without a subpoena.

The Glenview Journal did not agree to voluntarily hand over its source material without a warrant.

The violent arrest occurred at the Home Depot in the Chicago suburb of Glenview, Illinois. #DemsUnited

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

Trump just completely lost it on Truth Social after watching Senator Kelly obliterate Republicans for shutting down the government—instead of doing their jobs and stopping your health care premiums from doubling or tripling.

Imagine how angry Trump would get if we all shared this video and every American saw it.

Don’t tell me there’s not power in numbers and that our resistance and voices do not matter!

FUCK ICE!
