"The optics are hard to ignore: a top-rated show, led by one of Trump’s most vocal critics, axed just weeks after Paramount settled a lawsuit with Trump and began courting conservative media figures for leadership roles," @passantino.bsky.social writes. www.status.news/p/colbert-ca...

Colbert and Capitulation
The end of "The Late Show" isn’t ultimately about budgets, it’s a sign of the ideological shift at CBS that will take place under David Ellison's Skydance Media.

Reports that a Canadian citizen who has resided in the US since age 10 was abducted at a green card interview. Her husband is begging ICE to let him fly her back to Canada and they refuse to release her.
Cynthia Olivera is a Canadian who’s been living in the US since she was 10

She’s in ICE custody, after being grabbed at her green card interview.

The 45 year old wife & mother has been moved between facilities while her husband begs ICE to let her get on a plane to Canada. 🧵

They’re willing to pay. She’s willing to leave. But she can’t escape. 

This is why we call them concentration camps. 

There’s no due process. Some people go in and never come out.

If Republicans *really* thought their cruel cuts were going to help the country, they wouldn't have deviously made them go into effect only *after* the Midterms. They KNOW they are going to hurt people. They just don't care as long as it doesn't hurt them.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

The GOP passed a budget that will eviscerate health care in rural areas. They delayed much of the impact for after the midterms, hoping the public will think any discussion of the impending collapse is hyperbolic. Local reporters have a chance to do service journalism that'll make a splash too.

My relatives in East L.A. — born in the U.S.A. — are afraid to go outside because masked men with guns are randomly snatching people off the street. This is a government terrorism campaign against its own people.

Donald Trump bombed Iran tonight, not because they are about to have nuclear weapons (they are not), but because he needed a distraction from his tanking poll numbers and his deeply unpopular "Big Beautiful Bill." He doesn't care who gets killed, Iranians or Americans, to help HIM.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

An extraordinary separate dissent from Justice Jackson accuses the majority of trying to pass off its dirty work under the cover of the shadow docket and explicitly invokes Korematsu, the Japanese internment case. Wow. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
I lament that the Court appears to have embarked on a
new era of procedural variability, and that it has done so in
such a casual, inequitable, and, in my view, inappropriate
manner. See Department of Education v. California, 604
U. S. ___ , ___ (2025) (JACKSON, J., dissenting) (slip op., at
1–2). At least when the Court went off base in the past, it
left a record so posterity could see how it went wrong. See,
e.g., Korematsu v. United States, 323 U. S. 214 (1944). With
more and more of our most significant rulings taking place
in the shadows of our emergency docket, today’s Court
leaves less and less of a trace. But make no mistake: We
are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with
similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are
now less willing to face it.

Russia - along with North Korea, Belarus and Cuba (you read that right!) - is a rare exception to Trump’s tariffs. Remember: Trump removed U.S. Intel sharing with Ukraine to force it to accept a ceasefire, which it has. Trump has yet to impose costs on Moscow, which continues to defy any ceasefire.

Every Republican screaming for judges to be impeached because they are blocking Trump's illegal power grab were awfully quiet when we learned about billionaires handing out gifts and vacations to SCOTUS justices — who then ruled on cases despite major conflicts of interest.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...
nhpr.org
NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

Let's debunk this whole "space is hard" mantra. Looking at all NASA-led missions launched since 2000, only 4 out of ~60 missions experienced total failures. Two of these were due to issues with the commercial launch vehicle, & two were spacecraft issues. That is a *93% success rate.* (1/n)
