I was so mad about Colbert as I love him, and then Trump commented “And said good, Jimmy Kimmel is next” this guy is a jerk who does he think he is? We all watched the events on January 6th & then he went after those that were on The Committee, I am on Bluesky thanks to Rachael Maddow from MSNBC and I have spoken to Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney about this. Yes they are Republican’s, but they are decent people unlike MAGA Mike Johnson. We must win The Midterm’s then the jerk will be a lame duck
Don't forget PA races for state Supreme Court. Three "liberal' (aka non-MAGA) justices are up for retention elections in November.
Vote Forward has 2 letter writing campaigns for PA. Other than Supreme Court races it is mostly local elections in PA, so definitely LOW TURNOUT. Low Turnout elections are when Vote Forward does it's best work!!
* Postcards to Swing States (https://turnoutpac.org/postcards/) write and hold postcards for NJ, PA, and VA plus special "Informed Voter" campaigns in VA
I love what you called him, but we must organize and take the Midterms seriously if we win them Trump would be a lame duck. People aren’t happy with his recent bills he is passing the Tarrifs are going to affect a lot. I read an article about him today and he is slipping in the polls. We need someone that can lead the party and win The Midterms
Thanks, Scott! I was feeling so discouraged this morning and it's great to read your posts. One great thing that happened around here - in a very small town east of us, ICE showed up at the post office to demand lists of names and addresses and the postal staff told them to f off.
As for Colbert’s response; MAGA should appreciate his “scorched earth” approach as a sign of strength. (We know they won’t.) I liked the column in USA Today by Kelly Lawler that ended with: “His voice is too funny, too smart, and too important to go quietly into the night.”Hear, hear!
Scott, I almost felt sorry for Michael Velchik, the DOJ attorney tasked with presenting Trump’s case against Harvard. Velchik is a Harvard Law alum and knows better. He will be tarnished with the Trump stain for the rest of his legal career. When he drew the short straw, he, like previous DOJ attorneys should have resigned.
By staying in this unlawful DOJ, and defending the US against Harvard University, he has caused irreparable damage to his career, reputation and his legal standing. He is Bondi & Blanche’s sacrificial lamb going to slaughter. Really BAD move on his part.
Harvard (and other law schools) should start publishing a list of attorneys that they apologize for. Something like "We are sorry these clowns got a degree from our school. They clearly didn't learn ethics or morality. If we could revoke the degrees, we would."

NEW: Tell Congress: Reverse Trump’s NOAA cuts and save the National Weather Service https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-reverse-trumps-noaa-cuts-and-save-the-national-weather-service/
This link for NOAA is not working
Sorry fixed! Thanks for pointing out: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-congress-reverse-trumps-noaa-cuts-and-save-the-national-weather-service/
Scott, topic not available for NOAA letter…assume it is climate change? Thanks for all that you do.
Yes that can work! The electeds choose what topic goes on the site thanks for sending Ellen!
Colbert speaks for all of us
He sure does
Colbert’s response could not have been more “eloquent”
Did u see Jon Stewart last night. If u can find show on internet, I promise u it's worth it. Hint...there was a choir behind him!
YES! It was SO GOOD!
Jon Stewart was brilliant! He always tells it like it is. He and Stephen Colbert should run for office!
It was funny and well done in the way only Jon Stewart could have. His expressions are as hilarious as what he says.
I think he and Jon Stewart coordinated their responses last night !Stewart went all in and at the end sang “Go Fuck Yourself” with a chorus.🎶🎤

Thank you for that! I watched the entire thing and laughed through it all until I had tears in my eyes!
Magnificent!
Wonderful! My sentiments exactly!!
Thank YOU.
😂
Colbert is not withholding any criticism of CBS. COLBERT IS NOT THE COWARD THST CBS IS.

Moses never said a word about fuckface’s sinful word, act & deeds
“Von Shih N Pants” is what he calls him, I like Michael a lot
Von Schitzenpants. smells like his name
Michael Cohen has a really funny title for Trump and it hilarious
Trump caused Steven Colbert’s Demise and then he is going after Jimmy Kimmel
He is evil, I will share a recent article as he is not liked real at all, his polls are 38% with most people

I second J.R.’s 🥳 and add 👏👏👏👏
Party on!!!🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎉🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊
Pitch-perfect response by Colbert
Agreed Allyson!

Yes Linda!
Ha! Those fake postcards will be best sellers!!
That was a great trolling of Trump! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
I'm not sure there was anything fake about them. They did not need to use AI to find a picture of Trump and Epstein together from back in the day.
Unauthorized? Certainly! Fake? Doubtful.
Of course, the photo was absolutely real! I merely meant that the postcards were not a true part of their “Trump product line.”
Good news is ALWAYS needed when a dictator is trying to rule the country. Thanks Scott!
Thank you Tess!
I loved Colbert's response to Trump. I also enjoyed Sandra Oh putting a pox on CBS and Paramount. That was great.
Scott, I almost felt sorry for Michael Velchik, the DOJ attorney tasked with presenting Trump’s case against Harvard. Velchik is a Harvard Law alum and knows better. He will be tarnished with the Trump stain for the rest of his legal career. When he drew the short straw, he, like previous DOJ attorneys should have resigned.

Aren't there other attorney opportunities for him to explore? Feels like this is a choice.
⬆️"Aren't there other attorney opportunities for him to explore?"
Probably not any longer. He worked in Trump 1.0 and I guess he didn't learn the lesson that everything Trump touches dies.
⬆️"Feels like this is a choice."
Exactly! He's a pretty young guy - he graduated Harvard Law in 2016 per his LinkedIn profile.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelkvelchik/
He will have to live with this choice a LONG time.
Harvard (and other law schools) should start publishing a list of attorneys that they apologize for. Something like "We are sorry these clowns got a degree from our school. They clearly didn't learn ethics or morality. If we could revoke the degrees, we would."
YES! Great idea!
I don't feel sorry for anyone who aids and abets this administration. Whatever consequences they face is their problem.
Let's hope the resume' stain extends to sanctions so they can join the club of disbarred Cheetolini attorneys . . .
Agree completely. I would resign in a heartbeat rather than act in bad faith for this lawless regime. There is no question at all.
I don't blame him. I encourage him to keep being him and keep bringing guests that challenge the current administration.
Absolutely right!
Ty Scott! Colbert’s response was more than justified!👏🫶
Agreed Janet!
You made my day and yes I subscribe with you, thank you Scott your the best
Thanks Teresa!
Love this newsreel! Whirlwind tour of trumpist whackadoodle escapades! Yeah Stephen. Keep on keeping on
