Let’s be clear: This is political censorship. Just as CBS’ parent company handed Trump $16 million to settle a spurious lawsuit, this decision is about preemptively bowing to a regime that demands obedience. We stand with Stephen Colbert and every voice that Trump wants silenced.

I’m tired of hearing from some peers how we “need to hear out” the MAGA/MAHA point-of-view on health — in their effort to be the “adult” in the room. Engaging in false equivalences and normalizing nonsense as serious debate will not move us towards some greater enlightenment.
