Right now is no time to come up short.

It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where the Big Lie is called a Big Lie, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we urgently need to raise about 400,000 by Thursday, June 30, to finish our fiscal year on track and give it everything we possibly can. Please help us get there with a donation if you can right now.

Right now is no time to come up short. It's time to fight like hell for a democracy where minority rule cannot impose an extreme and cruel agenda, where facts matter, and where accountability at the polls and in the press has a fighting chance. We have our work cut out for us, and we still need to raise upwards of 400,000 by June 30 to give it everything we can. Please help:

On Wednesday, John Oliver stopped by the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to refrain from talking about the one guy America just can’t seem to stop talking about—Donald Trump.

“Do you care about him at all?” Colbert asked.

“I couldn’t give less of a shit,” Oliver responded to a raucous applause from the audience. “It’s physically impossible.”

He goes on to remind Colbert that it’s only 2015, and while the media remains laser-focused on reporting the antics of Trump and the rest of the 2016 candidates, he plans to wait until 2016 to actually weigh in.

“I don’t care until we’re in the same year as the thing I’m supposed to care about,” Oliver explained.

And as the comedian goes on to say, there are far greater issues outside of election-related items that warrant our discussion. Cue the next episode of Last Week Tonight.
