Right now, I am watching his incoherent, bumbling press conference filled with lies, passing-the-buck, & gripes in absolute horror, so ick, so cringe! What an absolutely miserable excuse for a human being!

They’re putting a FUCKING CURTAIN UP at the Lincoln Center! The toddler-in-chief can’t handle it!! (wonder how much THAT plus the scaffolding will fucking cost?!) They put it up with a cherry picker for all the world to see, but are taking it down behind a curtain so Americans can’t see & celebrate!

BREAKING: Blanche says the tax immunity for Trump and his family is STILL IN EFFECT. "I can't answer it yes or no. The ONLY document we're not moving forward with is the fund."

Frankel to Rubio: "It is crazy that you want to let people in from South Africa because they can assimilate, while you're throwing out hundreds of thousands of people who have already assimilated and that are important parts of our economy and family life."

WOW. So Blanche won't rescind the tax immunity. Was the entire charade just a cover to grant Trump tax immunity? Blanche claims that part of the "settlement" still stands. This is somehow MORE CORRUPT.

The heart of our constitutional crisis in one exchange between me and Sec. Mullin. When asked a simple question - if he will obey court orders - he says he will not because some court orders are "politicized". That's not how democracy works. And that's why we are in a crisis.

Ken Paxton was indicted for scamming his own friends. He convinced them to invest hundreds of thousands in a company while secretly pocketing a commission. Paxton sold out his own friends for a quick buck. What makes you think he won't sell you out in the Senate?

BLANCHE: Who the president chooses to pardon is not a problem, period IVEY: What's the legal basis for that statement? BLANCHE: The Constitution IVEY: The Constitution does not give him the authority to pardon in exchange for payments. It does not permit bribery

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Amen!

Stephen Colbert has been a gift for 11 years- brilliant, stunningly knowledgeable, kind & hilarious . From his home, he with his family, helped us thru dark pandemic times. He won 11 Emmy Awards, 2 Grammys & 3 Peabody Awards. Thank you for all of it Stephen. We'll miss you ❤️

Jacobs: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is very clear. After 60 days, the president is required to withdraw troops from hostilities unless Congress acts. Congress has not acted, and yet it is day 73 and my constituents are still in the region.

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

Remember when Congress UNANIMOUSLY passed an act forcing release of all Epstein files and to explain all redactions? This entire admin is breaking the law. Lock THEM up!

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,

Boycott!!!

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.
