I wish Stephen Colbert could speak at this year's WH Correspondents Dinner. Below is what he said at the 2006 dinner and it is just as relevant today as then. Will the journalists who attend show some backbone and principles and stand up to the unfortunately invited guest? I have my doubts.

Boy, you guys don't know what you're missing

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

The most hypocritical, ridiculous administration in history, and it’s not even close.

I am not going to be “Cut the Penis of A Dead Raccoon Hat” and stop asking

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

Trump promised we'd get a terrible economy, foreign wars, and high prices if I voted for Kamala Harris. He was right!

This is the thing about diversity that opponents of DEI always miss: diversity means a wider spectrum of perspectives, skills, experiences, etc. that can be synergistic in solving problems, doing research, contributing ineffably to any group effort.

Trump is 20+ points underwater. So why aren't Democrats up 20 for the midterms? open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

NEW — An obscure Navy contractor program is making Trump’s plans to quickly build out and supply immigrant concentration camps around the country a reality. Here I explain WEXMAC TITUS, an acronym you need to understand:

@projectsaltbox.com I think it's important to stress the impact of this AP story. These kind of conditions are what people in Williamsport, MD can expect occurring in the center right next to them. apnews.com/article/ice-...

8 million No Kings protesters Zero police officers beaten Zero police officers killed Zero feces smeared on walls.

A predictable #NoKings take from Jeremy Peters: A small turnout will be ominous, a large one will be meaningless, all protests from the left are merely a "primal scream," and none of them mean much. The NYT has always loved protests as history but hated them as news. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/u...

We had literal years of coverage of the "tea party" which had a fraction of #NoKings support and was entirely astroturfed by rightwing moneyed interests. Seriously, fuck The New York Times. Fucking trash rag.

one of the best signs spotted on No Kings Day: "No Faux-King Way!"

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States with the dumbest, most corrupt president ever in power is a bit like celebrating a wedding anniversary after your spouse murdered all your children and drained your bank accounts.

Trump is done. Today is the most important, loudest message. It’s over Donald. You’re officially the most hated man on the face of this earth

It sucks that our service men and women and their families have to pay a heavy price for Cadet Bone Spurs’ stupidity while he builds his ballroom, hosts parties, plays golf, pardons drug traffickers and con artists, and grifts billions for himself from foreign sources.

Bless everyone out there marching for NO KINGS DAY!

Bad immigration economics assumes every extra person is one less seat. Good economics notices they also bring a seat, a side dish, and demand for the bloke selling drinks. The first story is fear; the second is how economies work.

Why do Republicans currently control the White House, Senate, and House? Did Democrats forget to do the fraud in 2024? Decide it wasn't worth it this time?

"Found 'em!" #DonaldTrump #EpsteinFiles

Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."

Vance: "When people like Kamala Harris send our sons and daughters, our young people, to fight in stupid wars, it is the young generation that carries the burden of that. We're gonna stop sending our young people to far away lands. We are not the policemen of the world."

Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate: ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.

Rubio: "Listen, let me explain to you guys this in simple English, okay? Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.” Hey Marco, are you sure you're talking about Iran?

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

Ossoff’s statement is 1000x stronger than Schumer-Jeffries. This is a moderate Jewish Senator from a Trump state. The split isn’t moderate vs progressive, but leading vs poll-reacting

As a historian, I'd just like to remind the politicians who follow me that it is not, in fact, 2003 anymore and the current GOP war in the Middle East is not, in fact, even remotely popular. So if you're a weathervane who just tries to do what's already popular, full-throated opposition is it!

“As far as I can tell, not a single Republican lawmaker has informed the public that the Save America Act would compel all 50 states to send their voter registration rolls to the DHS or that the DHS would then run the rolls through its ‘SAVE’ voter purge system.” 2/26/26 …1/

I'll do it. I will fire tens of thousands of ICE agents. I will fly around the country like George Clooney and Anna Kendrick in that movie, just firing people all day. Except instead of it crushing my soul each ICE agent firing will bring me joy.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

“In less than a year, DHS has attacked the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 14th amendments to the US Constitution, the writ of habeas corpus, the independent judiciary, and much more,” states David Bier before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee. Read full testimony: https://ow.ly/z2aT50Yfcri

BREAKING: President Trump introduces new 4-Man Luge event at the 2026 winter Olympics in Italy, and selecting himself as team-captain. #DonaldTrump #EpsteinFiles

The MSM is failing us. A cowardly, impotent, prostrated Press will spell the end of democracy in the US. That's why the Epstein Files coverage is so crucial. Carol Cadwallader:

How quickly some have forgotten: No Irish No Blacks No Dogs. We say: No Trump, No ICE, No White House Shamrock. #trump #eu #ICE #ForTheLoveOfDublin

New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...

Every lawyer knows the rules: candor, decorum, respect for the tribunal. Pam Bondi shredded all of them, shouting over members, spitting insults, dodging basic oversight. In any courtroom in America she’d be held in contempt before her first outburst.

And, here's a great example, today, of why — as I say — such thinking is wrong and dangerous:

In good news, a little one was born in Utah🦒 www.sltrib.com/news/2026/01...
