A beloved 52-year-old special education teacher is dead because ICE agents decided to chase a car through the streets of Savannah, Georgia on Monday—in a county that has a no-chase policy specifically designed to prevent exactly this kind of tragedy.

Of course, DHS rejected any responsibility.

Their response? Blame the media.

New Mexico lawmakers unanimously approved creating a bipartisan “truth commission” to investigate why allegations of sexual abuse at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch were never fully investigated by federal or state authorities. The ranch was purchased in 2023 by a MAGA businessman whose son works in the Trump administration (INTERESTING), and there are now allegations that women were killed and buried on the property.

Trump bragged to reporters on Air Force One that “whoever I endorse” in the Georgia special election to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene “is going to win”—apparently forgetting he already endorsed someone in the race two weeks ago. Fuller has since made Trump’s backing the centerpiece of his campaign, but an endorsement is only worth so much when the guy who made it can’t remember it exists (and keeps endorsing candidates who lose).

Stephen Colbert aired receipts Tuesday night, holding up a CBS press release with a dog waste bag and calling it “a surprisingly small piece of paper considering how many butts it’s trying to cover.” The banned interview?

Hillary Clinton accused the Trump administration of running a “cover-up” on the Epstein Files, saying the Justice Department is deliberately “slow-walking” the release of 3 million documents while hauling her and Bill Clinton before Congress as a distraction.

Stephen Colbert went live on Monday night with a message his corporate bosses probably didn’t want him to deliver: CBS lawyers had just called to tell him he couldn’t air an interview he’d conducted with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico.

The reason? FCC Chairman Brendan Carr—a Trump appointee—had threatened to weaponize broadcast regulations against networks that give airtime to opposition candidates without offering “equal time” to their opponents.

Here’s the thing: Carr hasn’t actually changed the rule yet. He’s just threatened to. And CBS caved anyway.

The mechanism is simple: threaten networks with regulatory action, then let corporate consolidation and merger mania do the rest.

Why would CBS risk its Warner Bros. Discovery deal over one Colbert monologue?

Why would any network invite FCC scrutiny when they’re trying to get bigger deals approved?
