Dr. Jonathan Reiner: "The president has severe daytime somnolence. He falls asleep very often. He's fallen asleep in the Oval Office on multiple occasions with people talking to him in the cabinet room, and I was concerned yesterday that he might have fallen asleep at Arlington National Cemetery during Memorial Day observances. Chronic insomnia is a severe illness. It can result in an increase in risk of dementia, decrease in cognitive effects in older people."

Uhm. Colbert could save PBS. Please have your NEW show on PBS. We will buy all the tote bags. PLEASE.

The difference between Iran and Vietnam is that Trump knew how to get out of Vietnam.

@MatthewKeysLive Yes, that version got shut down. Fortunately, this link still works. And the internet is forever - especially if you rip the video. youtu.be/jJTXB5uT_C4

"After Trump, the urgent task for the American republic will be to turn norms into statutes, curtail the ethical immunities of the presidency and find legal ways to ensure that the highest public office in the world can never again become a platform for family business."

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. But the story of how he got it is even worse. County staff told commissioners that rejecting the name change would put state transportation funding at risk. DeSantis has already removed state attorneys and school board members who dared to cross him. That is the reality the Democratic commissioner who cast the deciding vote was living in when she made her choice: hand Donald Trump control of a public airport or watch Florida Republicans strip funding from the very people she was elected to represent. That is absolutely insane. Florida Republicans handed Trump a money machine and called it a naming rights deal, and the people of Palm Beach County never got a say in any of it. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

The Wizard of Oz turns 87 this year, and back in 1998, critic Rick Polito wrote what might be the greatest one-line TV listing ever for TCM.

Not getting enough attention: the one-page order from Todd Blanche to wipe out every audit of Donald Trump. Many experts believe it’s illegal, and here’s why. Federal law prohibits the President or his aides from directing or halting an IRS audit. Agents who carry out a politically motivated audit, or stop one at the direction of the White House, can face prison time. That is the statute on the books. Now look at what just happened. Todd Blanche, the Acting Attorney General and Donald Trump’s former personal criminal defense lawyer, signed a one-page order demanding the IRS drop every existing audit of Trump, his family, and their “affiliates.” One of those audits reportedly could have cost Trump more than $100 million. The Treasury Department’s top lawyer resigned over it. The acting top IRS lawyer had to recuse himself because he previously represented Trump in his tax cases. There is no precedent for an Attorney General ordering an end to audits of a group of taxpayers. Many experts say the Attorney General has no authority to do this. So we have a likely illegal order, signed by the President’s former lawyer, on behalf of the President, protecting the President. And the only people with jurisdiction to investigate it work for the President. I will fight this with every tool I have.

I'm worried that Trump will launch a war on Cuba, to distract attention from his war on Iran, which distracted attention from his war on Venezuela, which distracted attention from the Epstein files

FYI @loriklArt

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan. Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

Over 50% of US unicorns are founded by immigrants. If you look at top research papers coming out of top US labs and universities OVER 50% names there are immigrants. Our country enjoys unprecedented wealth by extracting top minds from the rest of the world. We should not be shooting ourselves in the foot there

this was so sweet. Stephen Colbert just ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney. his family and the show's crew then joined them on stage before Paul turned off the lights to the Ed Sullivan Theater

Colbert went for the St Elsewhere ending 😆🥹

The cleanup on aisle 47 is going to take forever.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a list in possession of three or more items is in want of an Oxford comma.

Today’s Daily Cartoon, by Sam Hurt.

The Trump administration claims that a law passed more than 100 years ago in 1913 authorized two columns near the Potomac River that were never built. The Commemorative Works Act (CWA): Enacted in 1986, explicitly dictates that any new memorial or structure on federal public grounds in D.C. requires explicit congressional authorization and review.

Day after day, year after year, Stephen Colbert had a message for his viewers: You are not crazy. This news cycle might be crazy, but you’re not. The endless firehose of President Trump news and noise gave Colbert a purpose. @brianstelter reports.
