Elizabeth Warren at her Cambridge home, Cognoscenti senior editor Cloe Axelson discussed books, free speech, democracy, pushing back against the Trump administration — and oh yes, Warren's golden retriever, Bailey. He's going as "Stephen Colbert at the Emmys" for Halloween this year, a nod to the comedian's pushback over CBS's cancellation of "The Late Show."
" It's easy to dismiss what happens to Jimmy Kimmel or what happens to Stephen Colbert," Warren said. "If they can't tell jokes, then the hard news folks can't do the investigations and reporting that they need to do."

He goes to MAGA rallies and ICE protests, dresses in silly costumes and sings parodies on a portable karaoke machine. Recently, he attended an ICE protest in Portland, Oregon, where local residents have been protesting against the federal agency. Potylo was arrested at that protest, which he said was the first time he's been arrested while protesting.
Potylo is part of a long tradition of political gadflies, clowns and jesters that goes back to ancient times. His mentor is the political satirist Vermin Supreme, who's been on the scene for nearly 40 years and may be best known for running for president, promising fully-funded time travel research, zombie preparedness and a free pony for every American, while wearing a rubber boot on his head
Both Potylo and Supreme say that underneath the silliness is a goal to avert tension between police and protesters, and turn the tide of public opinion.
