The wiping out by Trump of the Stephen Colbert Show is a blow to freedom of expression. But no way will Stephen fail to have the last word. What he does he will have a loyal following - looking forward to the next chapter

Wow. In one of the most emotional moments in television history, Stephen Colbert signs off his show’s last opening monologue by sharing that he realized his job was to “feel the news” with us. What a class act and an extraordinary person. Thank you Stephen.

Can't wait to hear what the family-values crowd has to say about the fact that Donald isn't going to his own son's wedding bc he needs to--spend the weekend at his golf club.

There is no universe where this is not an evil act - cold blooded murder of innocents

Donald Trump is an invasive species. I don't see Trumpism lasting past Trump — period, full stop. It's a cult of personality. With all due respect, @JDVance, you don't have it.

NO COUNTRY IN THE WORLD NEEDS A REGIME CHANGE AS MUCH AS THE UNITED STATES ✊

After this Thursday’s show, the Ed Sullivan Theater will go dark, and we’ll lose one of the nation’s funniest and most courageous, truthful, and gentlemanly critics of Trump and his regime. Farewell, and thank you, Stephen. robertreich.substack.com/p/farewell-and…

Almost. Two. Billion. Dollars. For guys like this. (are you angry? You should be.)

Holy sh*t, Hakeem Jeffries DID NOT hold back, calling for a MAJOR overhaul, saying the White House is now "a trump cartel... an organized crime entity," slamming trump's ballroom, $1.8B slush fund, and Stock trades. He is 100% right. It's time to clean house!

Don Lemon on Trump’s corrupt $1.8B slush fund: “This is some fucked up shit. Donald Trump sued himself then settled with himself and sent you the bill, suckers. This is blatant corruption. The most corrupt regime in American history”

Israel killed every single child in this photo today in Deir Qanoun Al-Nahr, South Lebanon. Every. Single. One. 6 children. Murdered, alongside their parents.

🇬🇧 🇮🇱 British Presenter: Sexual assaults on Palestinian prisoners by Israeli soldiers have been proven. But rebellious Israelis stormed the prison and demanded the release of the rapist soldiers. I thought this kind of brutality only existed in history books.

Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China.  Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well.  The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer.  Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company. That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company. Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies. CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.

🚨DERANGED: Trump goes off the rails about how “thin” he is. “It’s so beautiful… They’ll say, ‘Oh, he’s gotten so thin’… You don’t have to look at my waist…” If Biden gave this rant, Republicans would call it a national emergency. Trump’s brain is unraveling in real time.

Yesterday, 🇺🇸 Trump — “I paused a U.S. strike on Iran because Gulf leaders asked for more time to negotiate.” Today, Gulf officials — “We didn’t know about any imminent U.S. attack.” Now even Trump’s allies are calling him the biggest liar alive. Absolute cinema 🤣🔥

@mhdksafa Billionaires like Elon Musk are soulless ghouls! To them their obscene wealth is to be used to buy politicians & elections so they can accumulate more ! Not help people who are suffering!

@mhdksafa Some millionaires DIDN'T spend their dollars on space travel or a trip to the titanic because they were writing checks to put 150 million books in the hands of children.

The richest man on Earth dismantled the organization that feeds the poorest children on earth. He also cancelled all of the global Ebola prevention programs. The UN has now declared Ebola outbreak a global health emergency. Elon Musk’s dismantling of USAID has already killed more children than in Gaza and Ukraine combined. He cut lifetimes for millions and the result is a silent massacres. Nor should we forget his complicity in the genocide in Gaza, as well as in the war in Ukraine and the Epstein case. I don’t understand how billionaires think. If I only had one billion dollars, I would rush to fix our world problem. Homeless, hungry, poverty, wars, climate change... etc. They can be heroes and not just billionaires. What a waste.
