CBS forced to pay for Stephen Colbert’s final prank on The Late Show

"A president who doesn’t care about the law, who commands an obedient Congress and is supported by a radicalized base of tens of millions of people who believe his lies, represents a threat to the next election. I fear that millions of citizens are still too complacent."

Stop calling us names or we'll keep killing you.

Bari Weiss darling CBS's Peter Attia skipped out on visiting his baby son in the ICU so he could meet with Jeffrey Epstein. How many times are we going to discover something about someone in conservative circles and think, "That would never make it out of a writers' room. It's too over-the-top."

The FBI right now could probably use all those experienced senior career professionals with decades of investigative experience that they fired for absolutely no reason.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination was horrific. That doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of gun (and political) violence has been perpetuated by right wingers. You don’t get to change the narrative at will.

Oh so this was the red wave y’all were talking about

Thanks, Trump voters. You finally have the actual horrible economy that you pretended you had under Biden and Harris... dummies.

Hillary Clinton told you the truth about Trump and Putin. You didn't vote for her and she was right about everything. Kamala Harris told you the truth about Trump and Putin. You didn't vote for her and she was right about everything. I hope your misogyny was worth losing your democracy. Dummies.

Michelle Obama: Kids should have nutritious meals. The pro-life party: This is an outrage! RFK Jr: Kids should have measles, mumps, and polio. The pro-life party: Yes, king! Tell it like it is!

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Trump is a goddamn traitor to America. Any congressional Republican who supports him — or is afraid to stand up to him — is just as much of a traitor as Trump.

You don't fire Judge Advocates General unless you plan on issuing unlawful orders. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-f...

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

Senators Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Joni Ernst, etc: You’ve seen Hegseth, RFK Jr, and others give worthless assurances. You’re now seeing the US appease Putin, and DOJ guardrails crumble. Are you going to let Kash Patel use the FBI against his enemies list and further destroy the rule of law?

According to the trump Golf Tracker website, out of 29 days in office so far, trump has spent 7 of them golfing -- that's 24.14% ALREADY. What a fucking freeloader.

Musk totally humiliated Trump during their joint Oval Office press conference. Musk brought along his 4-year-old son — making Trump look like the kid’s babysitter — disrespectfully wore a T-shirt and baseball cap, and even interrupted Trump. It’s clear who’s really in control, and it ain’t Trump.

Since we can just change names of places now I’m getting behind this proposal, we’ll call it gulf of cig for short #gulfofcig 🚬

here's today's post: "what the fuck is going on?" — none of this is normal. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

Casar: "You know what Elon Musk doesn't seem to be looking into? His own contracts."

At this point I genuinely don't think it's hyperbole to say that Elon Musk is functionally in charge of the US government. Perhaps not in specific policy areas - two bills or one on the hill, policy in the mideast. But certainly functional control of the state apparatus.

The Trump Administration is breaking the law. Period. Never stop showing this. They are not “implementing unpopular policies” or “auditing the government.” They are breaking the law and ignoring the courts.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.” Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

The thing that still really offends me about Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl Halftime Show is that Elon Musk has taken over our government—and Republican voters care more about the former than the latter.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Wasn’t it just a week ago that we were supposed to get a 30-day pause? And now, suddenly, he’s focused on steel and aluminum imports? No one in Canada is surprised. Did anyone actually believe this guy? That his word meant anything? He’s a criminal.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

“Live your life in such a way that Kendrick Lamar doesn’t write a diss track about you” is my life goal going forward

Good morning, If you voted for the destruction of this country & now you are coming on this platform asking for grace because you made a mistake. Here is your grace: 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does. So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose. No paywall. Please read & share: www.qasimrashid.com/p/cfpb-is-su...

I am begging Democratic elected officials to stop fucking talking about the cost of guacamole. For fucks sake.

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist. Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success. Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success. It's that simple.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ? Then releasing it as if they discovered it ? Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me. Very Trump like too. Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

“The complete indifference of the Republican Congress to the ways that it is being stripped of its core constitutional functions is demoralising” Charlie Sykes www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

True.

New via NYT — The CIA sent the White House an unclassified email listing all employees hired by the spy agency over the last two years to comply with an executive order to shrink the federal work force. One former agency officer called the reporting of names a “counterintelligence disaster.”

Absolute fucking insanity tonight on Gaza. Our country is being run by a madman. Two weeks of complete chaos and lunacy.

Too many people didn't appreciate just how wonderful, how glorious, it was that the daily news cycle during Biden's presidency was boring as fuck.

You anti-Kamala Palestine supporters really showed her.

A worker at an intelligence agency says unidentified outside staffers arrived to sweep the office of anything they felt was related to DEI. That included a plaque, confiscated from a supervisor’s desk, that read, “Be kind to everyone.”

The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

After “How do we stop Trump?” the second most common question I’ve received is “How do we stop Musk?” Here's what we as ordinary citizens can do—a clear, easy, and meaningful call to action each person can and should take. No paywall. Please read, act, & share. www.qasimrashid.com/p/how-do-we-...

Since the FBI appears to be the only agency that is both still functioning and not headed by a lunatic, the Washington Field Office needs to open an investigation into the breach of the computer systems at Treasury, stat
