If a politician takes money from weapons manufacturers, don't be surprised when they back weapons contracts. If a politician takes money from Big Pharma, don't be surprised when they try to stop guaranteed healthcare. That's why I don't take ANY corporate money. None.

In case you didn't know Kiefer Sutherland's grandfather, Tommy Douglas. He pioneered universal public healthcare in Canada, showing that access to medical care could be treated as a right and not a privilege. His vision and political leadership laid the foundation for Canada's healthcare system.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

These are government employees. So our tax dollars are funding ICE to flash white supremacist cards at vulnerable POC as an intimidation tactic. Who is giving this direction? There’s something deeply sinister happening in this country right now, and I don’t think we can take three more years.
