A federal judge just dismissed the case against Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, ruling it a vindictive prosecution. Can he now collect part of that anti-weaponization fund? A judge even said it was lawfare ... From @politico.com: www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Epstein’s survivors should sue the government for $20 billion for the harm caused by not releasing the rest of the Epstein files.

Tonight is the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. We’ll be watching. Thank you for everything, Colbert! 💚

Are the GOP in Congress going to say they don’t like the fund but there is no remedy for stopping it? Bullshit. The remedy is impeachment.

The Constitution of the United States, Fourteenth Amendment, Section 4: “. . .neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States.” Well, look at that!!

The Late Show aired its final episode on Thursday, bringing an end to Stephen Colbert’s decade-long run as host and the show’s 32-year run as CBS’s premier late-night talk show.

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone. Honestly, voting is like taking a bus. If there isn't one going exactly to your destination, you don't stay at home and sulk—you take the one going closest to where you want to be. We can vote better than they can cheat. 💙🗳️

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.

Release the Epstein Files. Now. Anyone who is against their release is complicit.

Good morning! It was a lovely sunrise today, so you get a 15-minute #OceanDevotion.

Lovely start this morning.

Exactly. #EpsteinFiles #EpsteinClass

The citizens of Festus, Missouri, population approximately 14,000, just voted out every single city council member who secretly approved a gigantic data center. A recall petition is also being circulated to remove the mayor and council members who were not on the ballot.

We need to stop thinking in terms of "this is why the Dems need to retake the House/Senate" and start thinking "this is why the 'publicans need to go." This is not a Democratic party problem. It is an American people problem. #deadlinewh

MAJOR bullshit alert.

If I were Thomas Massie and had nothing left to lose, I would release the Epstein files. #Epsteinfiles

On this day in 1943, a 31 year old German born Jewish woman, living in the Netherlands, arrived at the Sobibor extermination camp where she perished. Her husband perished in Mauthausen on the 18 Dec 1942. Her name was Klara Elzas-Walvisch Support @sobibor.org

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

The people who could meaningfully challenge Trump are, in many cases, benefiting from him. Politically. Financially. Structurally. If you’re a senator whose political survival depends on a MAGA electorate that worships him, courage

Springsteen brought us to tears tonight with his performance of Streets of Minneapolis on Colbert.

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

MeidasTouch: What do you make of this $1.776 billion fund— Gavin Newsom: It’s a criminal enterprise. It’s not just corruption, it’s not just graft, it’s a full-on criminal enterprise and it needs to be shut down.
