Now that Colbert is done, I am cancelling my Paramount subscription. It's not much, but if all of us did it, I believe it would make a helluva statement.

🚨 do you understand what happened to Stephen Colbert.. 24 hours after his final Late Show, Colbert hijacked a tiny public access channel in Monroe, Michigan with Jack White, Eminem, Jeff Daniels and Steve Buscemi. Now Paramount - the company that just cancelled his show - is mass-blocking every reupload worldwide via Content ID. And the deeper you dig, the worse it looks: - The finale pulled 6.74M viewers - a weeknight record over 11 years - Eminem cameoed as "Marshall, the fire marshal" to greenlight torching the set - The same day Trump posted an AI video of throwing Colbert into a dumpster, Colbert aired footage of himself burning a real one - Mayday Network and verified journalist Matthew Keys both got blocked globally - for sharing a community access show Paramount cancelled his show to silence him. Instead they handed him a Streisand-effect comeback 10x bigger than the show ever was.

Paramount is apparently trying to suppress copies of "Only in Monroe" from appearing on other social platforms by filing frivolous copyright notices, even though the show was produced by a public access TV channel and doesn't use their intellectual property...

Proud to announce more than $110 million in federal funds are headed to the Veterans Home in Yountville! California is home to one of the largest veteran populations, and @SenAlexPadilla, @RepThompson and I will always fight for the funding we need to support our veterans.

I was so triggered by Jaxson Dart shaking hands with Donald Trump this morning. I’m so happy and grateful that I root for the 49ers and their players who would never support a guy like that.

Pratt has spent his entire adult life cultivating notoriety, exploiting controversy, manipulating media narratives, and manufacturing spectacle for personal attention and profit. None of that demonstrates leadership, sound judgment, honesty, temperament, or public service. Being provocative on reality television is not remotely the same thing as governing one of America’s largest and most complex cities

Wow. Spencer Pratt sounds just like Trump: fake victimhood, nonstop grievance, speaking in superlatives like its wisdom. And folks are falling for it. People just need to admit they don’t want honesty. They want a charismatic con man who tells them what they want to hear while picking their pockets.

Trump sued his own IRS. Settled with his own government. Secured a $1.8 billion slush fund to siphon toward his allies. Blocked the IRS audits against himself and his family.  This is corruption in plain sight.

Anyone else feel something off with the Anvil 4? I don’t know if they messed with dispersion or bullet speed but I'm missing many more shots.

Dear Los Angeles, See what's going on in Garden Grove? This is the type of crisis situation mayors (and governors) have to deal with. It's very serious, and requires an understanding of how to work with authorities and the ability to make informed decisions quickly - because people's lives are at stake. Sure, it's Orange County. But LA is always one earthquake, one terror attack, one violent riot, or one uncontained wildfire away from the next crisis. Choose someone with more experience than being on a reality tv show, and selling crystals.

Ossoff: I am hearing from Republicans who come up to me on the street, or they approach me at the airport, or maybe they have my number and they give me a call, and they're telling me that they are voting for a Democrat for the first time this year because they've just had enough. The abuses of power, the blatant self-enrichment and corruption, while the American people face all-time high prices for rent and groceries and a meal out at a restaurant and the power bill — the people have had enough. And I believe that a mighty wave is building to rebuke these abuses of power and to restore checks and balances.

I point out to @XavierBecerra that CA has the nation's highest poverty rate, gas prices, housing costs & most homeless people. "Are Democrats in charge of this state doing a good job?" "We could do better, no doubt. But we are the 4th largest economy in the world." Is there a specific policy change he'd make as Governor? "We'll get things done..." He says he'll "build more housing." More: youtube.com/watch?v=VJgaS6…

@realitybites555 @Strandjunker You were either dropped as a baby, or have been completely brainwashed. The US is a shithole. There are over 10 countries in Europe that would easily be better to live.

FIFA is panicking: World Cup hotel cancellations are surging as global fans ditch the U.S., citing soaring costs, visa bonds, and Trump’s dictatorial behavior. Turns out nobody wants to pay $1,000 a night just to experience an authoritarian simulation.
