Colbert and Letterman brought back Dave’s "Destroying Stuff" bit from the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater one last time….and Dave with an epic goodbye for CBS: "In the words of the great Ed Murrow, 'Good night and good luck, motherf*ckers!'"

I'm a strong believer in education and especially the value of colleges and universities. The humanities matter. Enjoyed the conversation.

Every time I see fashion people in the big city I think the pants can't possibly get any bigger. And yet they do—oh, they do.

I'm not sure people appreciate just how many attempted and accomplished attacks and fire bombings there have been on Jewish shops, services, and synagogues in London alone in just the past 15 days. So not even counting the Hatzola ambulances or yesterday's stabbings, you've got:

Politico: Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), a liberal icon who was a key architect of the landmark Wall Street regulations Democrats enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, has entered hospice care at his home in Maine. And as one of his last acts, he is preparing to release a book repudiating his party’s left flank. A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.” politico.com/news/2026/04/2…

Call me crazy but I think it’s wrong to steal from companies you hate and murder people you think are bad.

Completely crazy.

This whole interview just makes me incredibly sad. Total breakdown of any moral code / sense of personal integrity / commitment to the public good. nytimes.com/2026/04/22/opi…

Perhaps to no one’s surprise, Tucker Carlson just gave a full-throated defense of segregated country clubs. Out of the blue Tucker recently attacked me on his show by recounting a story I told him ~10 years ago. In his telling, my father sued a country club for not admitting him as a member. The actual story: In the ’90s, my father waged a newspaper campaign (not a lawsuit) against local country clubs because they were discriminatory – that is, they did not admit Jews, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics, etc., even as guests. My brother, who was in preschool at the time, was not invited to a classmate’s birthday party because the club where the party was held did not allow Jews inside. (Yes, even 4-year-old Jews, as guests.) That’s the fight my dad waged—at significant personal and professional cost at the time—and I’m proud of him for it. thebulwark.com/p/tucker-carls…

The secret ingredient is racketeering

I was present on the bus when this terrifying shooting occurred in northwest DC earlier this evening. The lives of the bus passengers were put in even greater danger by what appears to be a local regulation-related issue that I would like to raise with DC's local government:

@nick_field90 I read—and completely loved—his Disney biography, and "An Empire of Their Own" is on my shelf. Maybe it goes on the list for 2026.

Neal Gabler wrote a great book "An Empire of Their Own" about the early movie moguls, including Adolph Zukor, who deliberately built Paramount Pictures as the highest-quality film studio in Hollywood. It's fallen quite a bit since then x.com/CultureCrave/s…

Is Deborah Lipstadt’s definition of discrimination clarifying — or part of the problem? chroni.cl/3M9nhR2

Fun fact: Amazon is selling the Kindle version of my book American Prophets today at a *massive* discount — just $3. If you’re curious about the modern religious left — which is very visible and active right now! — I’d recommend grabbing it. a.co/d/hhkGn1z
