Stephen Colbert's Interview BLOCKED by CBS Suits – Boosts Talarico's Texas Senate Race?

Stephen Colbert says CBS blocked his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico over Trump FCC "equal time" rule fears (Brendan Carr guidance).

The YouTube version exploded to 5M+ views — did it just hand Talarico a huge primary boost against Jasmine Crockett?

In this raw Substack Live, Chris Cillizza and Matt Lewis break it all down:

— How the controversy helps Talarico nationally but maybe not in Texas Dem primary voting

— Plus, SCOTUS retirement rumors

— Mitch McConnell's tragic legacy

— AOC's Munich flub — What Democrats need to win big in 2026.

— And MUCH more!
