Dear Stephen Colbert,

You told the truth. You made us laugh when it was hard to even smile. You held power to account when others backed down.

Now, CBS has caved to Donald Trump... again.

They paid him $16 million to settle a lawsuit over a "60 Minutes" interview -- not to protect journalism, but to appease a man who’s spent years attacking it. And when you called it what it was, "a big fat bribe," they canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Let’s be crystal clear: this wasn’t just a network decision. It was political. It was cowardly. And it was a direct attack on free speech and fearless comedy that speaks truth to power.

You’ve never shied away from telling it like it is. Whether it was mocking Trump’s ego, skewering authoritarian hypocrisy, or defending democracy with sharp wit and brutal honesty, you’ve been a voice we could count on. A voice Trump has always wanted to silence.

Well, we’re not letting him. Not now. Not ever.

I’m sending this letter with countless others to say something loud and clear: we stand with Stephen Colbert.

You can’t put a price on integrity, and you’ve got it in spades.

CBS may have canceled your show. But they can’t cancel your voice. Or ours.

Never. Back. Down.

You have my unwavering support,
