I’ve resigned from The Baltimore Sun after 25 years of politics and sports reporting. I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead. I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there. I’m grateful to the sources whose trust enabled me to report responsibly, and to the readers who supported our work. I’m exploring new opportunities inside and outside journalism. My DMs are open.

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

When 60 Minutes is in trouble, we are all in trouble. When Pelley says CBS is meddling in his reporting for political reasons, believe it. https://t.co/lWpjdv1Unm

[Terry Moran 🇺🇸 @TerryMoran]

Scott Pelley told the truth. So CBS News fired him.

In public, there is little to see as Paramount tries to complete its takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, including CNN. But in private, there is a whole lot going on... https://t.co/e4jgHjnyBh

BREAKING🚨 Trump spent all week bragging that he got Stephen Colbert “fired.” Less than 24 hours later, Colbert was back on TV with Jack White, Eminem, Steve Buscemi, and Jeff Daniels — flipping him the bird from a tiny public access studio in Michigan.

Thursday night, after 11 years, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ended on CBS. Trump immediately took a victory lap, posting an AI video of himself grabbing Colbert and throwing him into a dumpster, then dancing on the lid.

He ranted that Colbert was “talentless,” celebrated that he was “finally finished,” and basically declared himself the man who got a critic taken off network TV.

The party lasted about 23 hours.

Friday at 11:30 p.m., Colbert popped back up — not on a major network, but on Monroe Community Media 1 in Monroe, Michigan, hosting the local public‑access show “Only in Monroe.” He read goofy local news, roasted his former bosses at CBS, and welcomed surprise guests Jack White and Jeff Daniels.

Then came cameos from Steve Buscemi and hometown legend Eminem, who wandered onto the set just to show they were in on the joke. All that star power, crowding into a community‑access studio, just to send one message: you can’t cancel someone who won’t shut up.

“It’s been an excruciating 23 hours without being on TV,” Colbert deadpanned, before thanking Monroe Community Media for having him “before they get acquired by Paramount.” That’s the whole story in one line: Trump can lean on billionaires and corporate bosses. He can post his little AI cartoons.

But he cannot actually make a voice disappear if that person is determined to keep talking — even if it’s from the most bare‑bones cable channel in Michigan.

This is what authoritarian types never understand. Censoring a critic doesn’t kill the criticism. It amplifies it. By gloating over Colbert’s finale and literally sharing a fantasy of throwing him in the trash, Trump turned a late‑night host into a free‑speech folk hero.

Instead of quietly exiting the stage, Colbert got a new, bigger story: the comic who went from CBS to public access overnight just to prove that comedy doesn’t belong to corporations or presidents.

Now the clip that’s going viral isn’t Trump’s AI dumpster video. It’s Colbert sitting in a cramped local studio with Jack White and Eminem, laughing about how fast he bounced back. Everyone’s talking about the comedian Trump tried to erase — and how small, petty, and thin‑skinned the president looks in comparison.

Whatever Colbert does next, he’s going to be living rent‑free in Trump’s head the entire time. And the more Trump tries to silence him, the louder that little public‑access studio in Monroe is going to sound.

Stephen Colbert's new YouTube channel, with just a single video, topped 100,000 subscribers overnight 👀 https://t.co/vlSwqQQ7lR

[Rebecca Aguilar (on Blue Sky & LinkedIn) @RebeccaAguilar]

Everyone COPY this video, share it far and wide. Paramount Skydance billionaire baby David Ellison can’t handle that Stephen Colbert is getting millions of views . @Youtube we will cancel our subscription as we did when we dumped @paramountplus.

[HELLO! Canada @HelloCanada]

Stephen Colbert may have said goodbye to late night, but he wasn’t leaving quietly 💃🏻🕺After wrapping his final episode of The Late Show, the host, 62, hit the dance floor at his “Fired & Festive!” afterparty in NYC - and when wife Evie came out to join him, the celebration was even sweeter ❤️

Here's to Stephen Colbert, a man of great integrity and wit. Onward, friend, to bigger and better things.

Bruce Springsteen appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show tonight and COOKED Trump and his goons

“I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke…. and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want. Stephen, these are small minded people. They got no idea what the freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about”

"The "Philadelphia Inquirer" found dangerous chemicals in the astroturf of the now-demolished Veterans Stadium.
Six Phillies who played on that turf, Tug McGraw, Darren Daulton, John Vukovich, John Oates, Ken Brett, and David West have died of a rare and aggressive brain cancer. The six players all died in their 40's or 50's, roughly three times the rate of the average adult population.
Even more alarming was their mutual diagnosis of glioblastoma.
The Phillies sold pieces of turf in sealed 4 x 4" bags.
The Inquirer purchased four of those on eBay.
Samples analyzed by two separate labs found 16 types of dangerous chemicals in the turf.
They are referred to as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down and can last in the human body for years.
The US federal government estimates that 12,000 artificial turf fields containing PFAS or “forever chemicals” exist in USA.
Darren 'Dutch' Daulton.
And still no updates on this story!!!

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

The Democrats who caved just taught Republicans that using mass starvation as a weapon works.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Democrats offered a bill to pay ALL federal workers during the Trump Shutdown. EVERY Republican kept it from passing.

How do you not pay people who are working?

This breaks my heart and it infuriates me. Hundreds of millions of dollars to build a new ballroom. Good god.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

JUST IN: The White House has begun DEMOLISHING portions of the East Wing of the White House to build Trump’s $250 million ballroom — despite earlier claiming it wouldn’t “interfere” with the existing White House structure. (Washington Post)
