MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported? NOEM: We haven't deported veterans MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

Interesting thing about Colbert—something that sets him apart from the other late-night comedy hosts over the decades: Paar, Carson, Leno, Letterman, Conan, the Jimmys, et al.—is his willingness to be entirely candid (while remaining winsome) about his thoughts & feelings on morally weighty matters.

On a cosmic scale, we are but dust mites crawling upon a single speck of dust. Makes all the problems we face feel a little smaller

I hope the people who supposedly withheld their vote in support of Gaza feel it was worth it

Does voting even have a purpose if the basic institutions of our democracy are destroyed? Musk is performing a coup in plain sight - with no obstruction from anyone that could actually do something.

We are so cooked

my god, it's only been 1 week

Executive orders as they currently function should probably just not exist. The executive branch has no business doing stuff that ought to be legislated in the first place. Or at the very least they should be ratified by Congress before going into effect. It makes the presidency far too powerful.

For the last couple of years, I’ve been collecting antique books. This weekend, the latest addition to my collection - “It Can’t Happen Here” by Sinclair Lewis - arrived.

Now I know how peasants in the 13th century felt when the plague returned.

Trump’s anti-trans Executive Order is bad BUT it technically defines everyone as female. It states: “'Female' means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell." Since all fetuses "at conception" are female, Trump just defined EVERYONE as female.

Inauguration Day.

I don't think it was pain that made him so great, I think painting brought him whatever happiness he had. * RIP David Lynch

Sums it up nicely.

I think there’s a misconception out there that good writing means phrasing things in a way nobody ever has or would—that if a sentence feels familiar in the mind it fails. The opposite is true. Good writing is phrasing things in a way everyone has always wanted to and recognizes in their hearts.

Let me know if anyone in corporate media asks Jim Jordan about how his star witness in the Biden impeachment inquiry just got 6 years in prison for making it all up.

This seems to be unique to the United States, for sure.

i recall a time when using a private email server was the single greatest scandal in american history. i guess today’s it’s just tuesday www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

Breakfast, January 2025.

Last time I checked, Elon Musk isn't the fucking President. Why is Congress acting like he is?

Some folks are pretty good seeing things coming.

My retirement goal is to live in a crumbling estate and sleep in the enormous library with no electricity, only candles, with a farm on the property and a cute family who runs it. They have a little girl who reads my books to me at night and she hopes that one day, I’ll will her all my money & books

Beware of those who act as if they are larger than life. Usually, they are not

So Mace walked into the House today with her arm in a sling and posted 500 tweets that she was the victim of a violent assault and THIS is what happened????

Made pasta sauce from scratch! While it is a little thin, for my first time I think it turned out great! It honestly tastes amazing, the cherry tomatoes I used really gave it a unique flavor #goodlunch #gooddinner #pastasauce

I bet all the book-banning attempts would go away if they required you to have a library card and actually use it to read a book in order to submit it. The people who try to ban books from libraries are not the same people who actually use libraries. They just want control.

I encourage RFK Jr to drink all the raw milk his heart desires.

Batman should use his tremendous wealth to have a wash, so he no longer smells bad during Christmas

THIS is my Sentiment

Two years ago today we were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for protecting The US Capitol on January 6th 2021. Almost 4 years later the efforts to downplay, whitewash and minimize what happened appear to be succeeding. I won't ever stop standing up to them.

Newly elected Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Greg Casar is already cooking www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

You are going to be hearing a lot about this book.
