Todd Blanche was Trump's personal defense lawyer. Now Trump wants him running the entire Justice Department. That's not an Attorney General—that's a shield. Tell your senators to vote NO. 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

If you're one of those people afraid of URL shorteners, look on Robert Reich's blog post with the same headline. He's right, you know. Reich has worked in US politics under 4 presidents (two which were 2 term presidents - Clinton and Obama) and Academia long enough to know what he's talking about.

Why do we see far more of this coming from conservatives? I know we have to have flawed democrats out there, but we seem to be a heck of a lot less violent. People like this are NOT what we need in office. They have no respect for human life, just grift, profit, and abuse - and project 2025 goals

I believe South Dakota attempted to go after birth control around 2000 or 2001. It didn’t succeed once cases started going to court, but we have a much different judicial system these days, and Roe V Wade was still in place back then. It isn’t now.

Colbert speaks the truth. News people are jealous. They could do it themselves, you know? Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/b...
Why do you think the F.C.C. and the Trump administration are so focused on you?

Authoritarians don’t like anybody who doesn’t give them undue dignity. Comedians are anti-authoritarian by nature. And authoritarians are never going to like anybody to laugh at them. The number of newspeople who have said to me or Jon Stewart or any of the guys who do this, “God, I wish I could say what you say on air.” And we can. I think that upsets them. I think it might be upsetting that we really do not live in their world of principalities and powers.Given that you and other late-night hosts have become political targets, and given how partisan late night has become, do you have any regrets that it’s gotten to this point?

I don’t have any problem with Trump being a Republican. I have a problem with Trump being a complete narcissist who is only working for his own interest and does not appear to care if the entire world burns. That’s not a partisan position. I have eyeballs and ears, and I think calling late night partisan is just roughing the ref. And we don’t even want to be refs, but they perceive us as refs. I reject the partisan description. Partisan means you’re never, ever going to make a joke about a Democrat, and that’s just not true. There’s just no comparison of how fertile the fields are.

Last I check, ethical journalism was to point out the truth, not political sides. If there was more than one side, it was to point out the different sides, no matter how different they were politically. (e.g. - syria, russia, kurdish peshmerga). Political goals in news reporting make it biased.

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.
Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination. Discrimination based on sex is expressly prohibited under Montana’s unique Nondiscrimination Clause––“[n]either the state nor any person, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate on account of . . . sex . . . .” Thus, Article II, Section 4 is
unequivocal in its intolerance for discrimination based on sex. Because sex discrimination involves a fundamental right under Article II, the appropriate level of judicial review is strict scrutiny. Snetsinger, ¶ 17.

¶28 Being transgender is also a suspect class under the Equal Protection Clause of
Article II, Section 4,––“[n]o person shall be denied equal protection of the law.”
