Jon Stewart: "What are you in late night, No. 1?"
Stephen Colbert "I think we are, yeah. I don't know anymore. Doesn't really matter."
Stewart: "I just think it's so smart what CBS is doing. It's such a good move. To take this show off the air, and then to also ruin your Evening News, and then reduce 60 Minutes to like six good ones. I think it's so smart."
Stewart: "Here's what I believe they're doing: I think they're tanking for a draft pick."
Trump looting almost $2 billion from the government coffers to pay his supporters is one of the largest scandals in US history.
But our press is so beaten down and the public has become so fatigued by his constant criminality that it's barely a news story.
I simply could not imagine being in congress and staying silent as Trump builds a slush fund of $1.776 (cute right… 1776) billion dollar slush fund for insurrrectionists.
What are these people even there for?
History will be brutal to them. And their kids will be embarrassed

Charlamagne tha God: “I don’t care what Nicki Minaj thinks at a time like this. Trump’s tariffs got the cost of household goods through the roof, the war he got us in got gas prices through the roof, inflation is high, social services have been cut, people’s healthcare has been cut”
A Louisiana resident who identified himself as Marshawn delivered a fiery, emotional speech to lawmakers during a state Senate hearing over redistricting Monday, accusing Republicans of trying to “cheat” Black voters out of political power.
Hakeem Jeffries today:
“The ghost of the Confederacy has afflicted the Supreme Court majority and is invading and haunting the nation right now.”
Louisiana cancelled a live election to erase Black voters.
Tennessee eliminated majority-Black Memphis in one vote.
Florida flipped 4 seats with new maps. Alabama got Supreme Court approval.
South Carolina eliminated Clyburn’s seat.
Virginia’s voter-approved map struck down 4-3.
Six states. Same week. Same playbook.
Jeffries is right.
James Comey: "The Biden Justice Department indicted the president's son. Can you imagine that happening today? Honestly, while you're shaving, MAGA supporter, look in the mirror and say, could that happen today? And the answer is no, which is a really bad thing."
Todd Blanche didn't keep Donald Trump out of jail.
The people who kept him out of jail were the ones who refused to remove and bar him from public office (GOP Senators) and those who took far too long to get serious about criminally prosecuting him (Biden's DOJ).
What Clyburn is saying here is actually very important. The court found a way to rule that a 75% white district (higher than SC’s total non Hispanic white pop.) is legal if you call it a political gerrymander, but a 40 or 45% Black district is an illegal racial gerrymander.
No vote in Tennessee (+1 GOP)
No vote in Florida (+4 GOP)
No vote in Missouri (+1 GOP)
No vote in North Carolina (+2 GOP)
No vote in Texas (+5 GOP)
Virginia’s voter-approved maps thrown out.
MAGA has rigged the system.
