When he’s right, he’s right.

When and why did journalists become bystanders? Who told them they weren't supposed to warn the bus driver as he drove toward the cliff and instead were only supposed to take pictures of the wreckage? 1/🧵

The beclowning of America continues.

Pillars of US Democracy Steven Colbert… farewell! You are on the RIGHT side of history. #MichaeldeAdder

The administration plans to use claims that "China interfered in the 2020 election as a basis to declare a national emergency that would unlock extraordinary presidential power over voting.” The premise, it almost goes without saying, is a total lie. trib.al/dD7xx4n

@atnj.org "U.S. Sen. Andy Kim said he had trouble breathing from the cloud of pepper spray deployed as a growing crowd of protesters responding to an inmate hunger strike demonstrated outside." (Gift Article) www.nj.com/news/2026/05...

So that’s the plan!

A day after The Late Show ended, Colbert hosted an episode of public access program Only In Monroe, reviving his 11-year-old gag. How bad is CBS/Paramount taking it? They issued copyright complaints for a show they don't own. 🤣 CBS would hate it if you watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DlF...

How did I only just discover that Don Jr is marrying the daughter of a prominent Epstein enabler? Her late dad, a banker, wrote Epstein a reference letter calling him "a gentleman of the highest integrity" to help get him tax breaks &… his island. Can’t make this stuff up.

A gentle reminder

THIS WEEK: Pam Bondi is interviewed by House Oversight Committee about the Epstein Files mess

"The deal does not address Iran’s missile stockpile nor does it stipulate a moratorium on enrichment. ... Those issues would be addressed in future negotiations." So the war has accomplished higher gas prices, 100+ dead Iranian schoolgirls and 13 dead U.S. service members. What else?

Justice Sotomayor enjoying her 50th Reunion (in the rain!) yesterday in Princeton. I'm thinking Pete (who hates woke Princeton) Hegseth didn't show for the multiyear reunion event. @atnj.org

We live in a country now where the president uses his power to censor media figures who criticize him and then brags about it.

The DOJ’s website used to have hundreds of press releases documenting every arrest, conviction, and sentencing from January 6th. Those records are gone now. The Trump administration confirmed it removed the pages and called the documentation “partisan propaganda.”

Having lived in Princeton, woke would not be my first descriptor. "The Pentagon chief also decried 'woke and weak leaders' for attempting to transform the military academy into 'woke Princeton,' his alma mater. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Congratulations on your wedding Don Jr. Sorry for distracting your Dad with this important work.

Because yeah, he couldn’t have done that.

While we slept the DOJ deleted all press releases about charges against January 6 defendants: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Trump’s age isn’t getting the same kind of scrutiny as Joe Biden’s did—but as the president nears his 80th birthday, his recent behavior is prompting questions about his health, including from some in his own party, @jonlemire.bsky.social reports:

DOJ “Proud” of Purging January 6th Crimes from Webpage meidasnews.com/news/doj-pro...

How is this farce of a do nothing government still going on? It's as if the system that protects incompetent white men and women in power was built to protect incompetent white men and women to stay in power.

Thom Tillis didn't hold back on Pete Hegseth in an interview with our senior congressional reporter Jordain Carney. Read the full Q&A: politi.co/43kH6dg

Demented. This is the president of the United States; someone who should be a role model representing the highest office in our country. Dignity and decorum are dead.

@markjacob.bsky.social Ironic? www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

I introduced six Articles of Impeachment against Chief Justice John Roberts for compromising the credibility of the Supreme Court. See my release below. cohen.house.gov/media-center...

NEW: Colorado’s League of Women Voters has withdrawn a planned “Leader of Democracy” Award for Gov Jared Polis after he gave clemency to Tina Peters.

Save this. We'll need it down the line.

The closure of CBS Radio News marks an enormous loss It'd be like imploding Wrigley Field or boarding-up the Louvre JUST FILED =====>

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 ❤️

Trump is using public money to send a message to those who broke the law, often violently, trying to keep him in power despite the election returns: try that again, and they may come out with not just a pardon, but a fortune. New from me at Cato.

NEW: After being asked to testify behind closed doors before Congress, Howard Lutnick made a $5M donation to House Republicans. After his testimony, Jim Comer said he was satisfied Lutnick was truthful. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/22/u...

I keep telling y’all, he’s never leaving. The symbolism here is crazy work! A glowing golden shield protecting the White House like a king’s palace. Satellites, missiles, crosses, heavenly light from the sky, all centered around one man who sees himself as the seat of devine power.
