the Dems need to be better at digital communication and I also think what is good political communication isn't necessarily determined by what appeals to the people who talk about political communication all day every day .

AOC: It's really because Republicans— they’re very thin skinned and they're very sensitive, and their feelings are very easily hurt. And so they have to vote on censure resolutions.

Enough about the price of eggs, from everyone. Cut the shit. The economy isn’t broken. It’s working exactly as they designed it—to keep you desperate, distracted, and exhausted while they cash in.

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

Nebraska gig workers aren’t even trying to unionize—but LB 229 would ban them from doing so anyway. Why? To protect Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash from ever being held accountable. Nebraska small businesses follow labor laws—so why should billion-dollar tech corporations get a free pass?

NEW: WIRED got IP blocked by the Social Security Administration, among other outlets covering Musk's takeover. Federal workers are now "prohibited" from accessing our reporting on "government-furnished equipment." WaPo, NYT, and MSNBC are likewise banned, sources confirm.

If Congress cared about decorum, they wouldn’t stand and clap for a man who incited an insurrection. They wouldn’t sit quietly while Trump peddles racist conspiracy theories, threatens political opponents with state violence, and openly discusses dismantling democracy.

Why can't we just have a normal election in Omaha. Why does it always devolve into a mess. We need to stop fighting about leadership and start winning. Get it together people!

I keep trying to think about best case scenarios instead of worst case ones, and the best case scenario is the bottom dropping out of Trump’s support, ala post Jan 6th or W in 08. The problem is it’s hard to see that happening absent some big catastrophe that also causes huge amounts of human misery

In Oversight today, my colleagues stuck to their usual script: blaming immigrants for all crime & claiming Dem mayors are too soft. Well, I was curious to know if they’ve ever had an immigrant with a criminal record that they could recall. Tune in!

I called Canadian Premiers Doug Ford and Wab Kinew today as we try to find a way through this unnecessary and costly trade war. While the President may not value the partnerships that contribute billions of dollars to our economy, Minnesota does.

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

For years I have hosted and attended town halls and listening sessions, welcoming every question, criticism, and perspective. I’ve been booed, yelled at, applauded, grilled, and that’s how democracy works. I know Nebraskans aren’t ‘paid troublemakers’—they’re engaged citizens.

Whether it's a rag-tag bunch of kids yelling "Wolverines" in Red Dawn or a senile president and his pretend-hillbilly VP yelling "surrender" in the White House, Americans have adopted different attitudes towards Russian aggression over the past few generations.
