REPORTER: I'd like to ask for your assessment of the way immigration agents conducted themselves here earlier this y--- McDONALD: I'm not gonna talk about that. Any other questions?

NESTERAK: President Trump has granted clemency to numerous individuals who have stolen hundreds of millions in Medicaid funds. Can we expect any of these folks to be shown the same mercy? McDONALD: I'll take a different question

Trump: "I think the elections are so rigged. And we have to do something about it. And we're gonna do something about it."

Trump claims the reflecting pool, which is flat, is "taller than the tallest building in the world"

Trump: "An interesting statistic is that 2 percent of the population creates 91 percent of the crime. And the reason I like that is you can handle 2 percent of the population."

Q: Are you attending your son's wedding this weekend? TRUMP: Uhhhh. He'd like me to go. I'm gonna try and make it. I said, 'This is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.'

TRUMP: "We have total control of the Strait of Hormuz" TRUMP MOMENTS LATER: "We want the Strait of Hormuz open"

I did not know this about Stephen Colbert's father and brothers. I'm amazed he came out the other side.😔

REID: The Times has reported that Trump could have owed up to $100 million because of ongoing audits. So are you saying this is not an effort to help him avoid financial liability? BLANCHE: That's the definition of completely made up fake news, and then it becomes real news because they repeat it

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

"They leaked his tax returns, they tried to destroy him." If revealing your official tax returns -- something every single president and VP for forty years before Trump did voluntarily -- could possibly "destroy" you, that is the scandal.

✊✊✊ Fuck CBS and Trump. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMrN...

🔥 SPRINGSTEEN: "I’m here to support Stephen Colbert, the first guy who lost his show because a president can't take a joke - and the Ellisons feel they need to kiss his ass… small-minded people with no idea what freedoms of this beautiful country are supposed to be about." 🇺🇸

This is so beautiful! Of course I canceled my Paramount subscription. Stephen Colbert will be truly missed 🥺 #Pinks #USDemocracy

Tonight. Colbert’s last show all because of a small, petty, convicted felon of a President whose ego is so fragile that he can’t take a joke. Make CBS hurt. They bent the knee, let’s amputate it. Never watch them again after tonight. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #Pinks #SheShed

Every time I sat across the desk from Stephen Colbert, I knew we'd have a conversation that was about more than just getting laughs. Alongside his great wit, Stephen brought deep thoughtfulness, empathy, and humility to the late-night stage. Here's to a next chapter as brilliant as the last.

A Path to Justice — A cartoon by Nick Anderson

So now we’ve gone from “make a deal and end the war or I’ll blow you to hell” to “please sign this letter to think about maybe ending the war in the next 30 days” How embarrassing.

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

REUTERS: “Enrique Tarrio, Proud Boys leader sentenced ‌to 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the January 6, 2021 riot, said he planned to get between $2 & $5 million.” We are so far off the cliff. 🇺🇸 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

MAGA after J6: - It was Antifa/BLM! - It was the Feds! - It was a day of love! - It never happened! - If it happened it was patriotic! - Ok it did happen but give us a pardon & money now for our trouble! This is how revisionist History works & the Media? They are partly responsible for this. 🤨

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

There is not a single insurrectionists MFer who beat a cop that should get a penny of our money. Not one. And the people making this decision will all be appointed by Blanche and will meet in secret. This is an impeachable offense by Blanche.

Trump repeatedly disparaged Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich's husband, GOP Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, while Heinrich tried to ask him questions: "Her husband votes against me all the time. Can you imagine? He likes voting against Trump. You know what happens with that? It doesn't work out well."

The lady doth protest too much, methinks. 😏

"No new wars. I will halve your energy costs in the first year. America first."

dear god they might just do it. taking out Iran isn't going well so Dear Leader needs another emotional support war to compensate

Every Trump collaborator that refuses to admit that Trump lost the 2020 election will be treated appropriately once a Democrat Senate and House are back in power. Nazis are always found accountable.

Just so we're clear, when he talks about "the most violent thing" he's ever seen in politics, he's *not* talking about those who violently attacked the Capitol in his name, while violently clashing with police officers. He's instead talking about efforts to hold them and their allies accountable.

Moskowitz to a Republican witness who won't stop promoting her book: "Dr Swain, I can promise you there's no freakin' way I'm buying your book when it took me two minutes to convince you that neo-Nazis are supremacists."

Functionally indistinguishable from the way Putin talks about Ukraine & Xi talks about Taiwan.

what do you call it when the president steals an unfathomable amount of wealth from the treasury and then declares it illegal to investigate him

Testify at a Senate hearing today, Todd Blanche told Senator Chris Van Hollen he's met with Epstein survivors and their lawyers. Within hours, 18 Epstein survivors released a joint statement contradicting AAG Todd Blanche's testimony, directly accusing him of making false claims. I believe them.

“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said. @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/5733...

BREAKING: Senate votes 50-47 to force Trump to stop his illegal war on Iran. 4 GOP voted with Dems Fetterman voted with MAGA because of course he did. Paul (KY), Cassidy (LA) lost his primary, Murkowski (AK) faces a tough Dem opponent, & Collins (ME) down in polls to Platner, voted with Democrats.

Some good news! The Senate voted 50-47 today to advance a measure that would force Trump to either end the war in Iran or win authorization from Congress to continue it. The first time the effort has actually moved forward.

No you shouldn't be at all worried that a crazy authoritarian president is desperate to build a tall building full of sniper nests in the middle of the capital city.

JD VANCE: I don't know your name. You have a beautiful cross necklace though, so go ahead Q: Cara Castronuova, Lindell TV

The vice president of the United States is just standing up here saying people should feel sorry for domestic terrorists who were given free and fair trials and were then convicted in a court of law. Absolutely despicable.

COLLINS: You told me that anyone who assaulted a police officer on J6 should go to prison. So why not rule out given them taxpayer money? JD VANCE: ... Well Kaitlan, what I said is we're gonna look at everything case by case C: So why not rule it out? VANCE: I don't rule things out categorically

The most benign explanation is that Trump knows he doesn't have long left and is desperate for monuments to his vanity. That's the best-case scenario. The others involve Trump refusing to surrender power -- just as he did last time.

The trades were “unsolicited.”

"A well-funded militia..."

Duffy's merely attempting to copy Bondi's and Noem's puerile "burn book" efforts as witnesses under oath before Congress. His future is theirs. They're all desperate Nazi cunts.

Fucking disgusting. Disgusting. All of Trump’s Nazi collaborators shall be rounded up – before or after Trump's grave is an international public urinal (for all genders) - and they shall be tried and, if convicted, sentenced accordingly.✊ Duffy knows he's toast.

BLANCHE: Do you think President Trump called and asked me to go interview Ghislaine Maxwell? REED: Yes I do, frankly. Because the deal was in. You're the president's consigliere.

Trump on high gas prices: "This is peanuts. I appreciate everybody putting up with it for a little while. But I don't even think about. What I think about is you can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon."
