🧵A most beautiful tribute and read. Thank you @markhertling.bsky.social for everything you have done and continue to do every single day. Find comfort in your memories this holiday. 🙏🏻

The percentage of Republicans that believe this is staggeringly STUPID. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

 "They don't have to be good to win. They can suck and still beat Trump... It's a punish the guy who screwed up the economy election." Mike Murphy on how the latest shutdown fight gave the Senate leverage over Trump and why Democrats can still win even though they are unpopular.

Explain why Hegs pulled troops from Poland and now Trump is deploying 5,000 to Poland. Remember I’m five years old

If TV networks really cared about tthe truth, they'd carry Trump's speeches on a delayed basis and fact-check them before they aired them. Instead, they give Trump a free platform to lie. It's journalistic malpractice, a huge disservice to our country.

Saying that 5 million people have been "lifted off" food stamps is like saying that robbers "relieved" a bank of its money.

The creator of "The Boys" has gotten into Elon Musk's head — and said he couldn't make his villain crazier than real-life people. In one episode, the villain made himself a god, and then "Trump released an image of himself as God 48 hours before we aired." deadline.com/2026/04/the-...

The Agents of Chaos have orchestrated AT LEAST 3 simultaneous wars. 1-The War in Iran creating global insecurity. 2-The War on the streets of American cities & 3-The War on our Democratic Institutions. The stuff of fiction turns into our reality allowing Trump & the Oligarchs to make trillions.

🧵Let’s all join in and sing along. Love ya Stephen. Thanks for sharing all our feelings together. You always made it feel better when we were together in this crazy mess of a wonderful world. ⬇️https://youtube.com/watch?v=zG0HFw0edXY

🧵IMO a broader view of our lived reality is required. Trump is merely a willing agent for powerful, unashamed Oligarchs. Powerful tools of AI & their delivery platforms infiltrating our lives must be reimagined from gd up to preserve & enhance freedom we value in a healthy functioning democracy⬇️

@djrothkopf.bsky.social @normornstein.bsky.social Just for the record, together the two of you are even more brilliant than conceivably possible. We are blessed!

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

Well..HELLO GOODBYE….DON’T KNOW WHY…BUT I STILL SAY HELLO… It’s just a short GOODBYE Love Ya Stephen …can’t wait to say HELLO!

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.

WTF!⬇️

Outrageous that no one is talking about the heist trying to erase the insurrection before our very eyes! They want them to be heros and part of Trump’s private brown shirt army. Not the crimes Trump and his brown shirts committed. The original sin!

Broadview six are now prime candidates to receive compensation from weaponization fund.

Good! ⬇️

Imagine thinking that this corrupt $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" would be fine if only cop attackers were excluded.

Trump is the biggest failure of our time. His money can never make up for this simple fact. Those who thought only about how his wealth and the derived fake power that comes with it must also fail. Thanks David for being a voice that won’t let us forget.

Trump has committed a crime this week that cannot by any stretch of the imagination be protected by the immunity the Supreme Court granted presidents.

🧵But he will support Paxton in General⬇️ of course he would. Just another spineless R who also gave in and voted RFK jr

🧵of course Cornyn would support Paxton. After everything he knew and knows he supports everything Trump and Senate R wants. Every damn thing. ⬇️

They were afraid. And it's a huge oversight.

Hundreds of cases reported in the DRC after USAID has been dismantled and key scientific research canceled

Trump's now campaigning against the Republican Party by making his egoism and corruption the centerpiece of his misrule. GOP politicians, who have spent a decade aiding and abetting their decaying Leader, deserve to - and must - reap what they have sown. The future of the nation depends on it.

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

🧵Thrilled to be joining our community of power ⬇️

I guess we will have to wait for the next report to learn which ones Trump bought stock in.

Stephen Colbert will host The Late Show for the final time tonight, ending an 11-year run at CBS after the network canceled the show.

God has apparently allowed Donald Trump to live another day and now he’s about to make that everyone’s problem.

“You’re the first guy in America who’s lost his show because we got a president who can’t take a joke.” “And because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want.” variety.com/2026/tv/news...

"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.

Thank you @colbertlateshow.bsky.social for making room to talk about the importance of journalism (and for inviting me to do it.)

🔥 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." 🇺🇸
