It's such a smart idea for trump to show Iran that they are dealing with a completely sane, stable person in negotiations, I don't see how they can fail with such carefully calibrated diplomatic messaging 🙄

Stephen Colbert ended his final episode of The Late Show while singing "Hello, Goodbye" with Paul McCartney on the Ed Sullivan stage that made The Beatles mega stars.

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.

Trump Will Lose His War on Laughter open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

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.

Every American should be disgusted by this.

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

Hey Donnie! You will *never* be as loved by the nation as this man. Never.

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.

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.

🔥 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." 🇺🇸

In addition to litter, plastic food packaging also sheds 1,000 metric tons of microplastics. Particles small enough to enter the body that may carry chemicals linked to hormone disruption and cancer, according to a new global report. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean

A recent study showed that mangroves throughout Florida averted $1.5 billion in storm damage during Hurricanes. The averted damage resulted in 25% savings where mangrove was present. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #MangroveMonday

Join us tomorrow at the Animal Welfare Intergroup for a discussion on how to accelerate the transition to non-animal science in the EU. 📆 Thursday 21 May ⏰️ 09:00 - 10:00 CEST 📍 In person or online www.animalwelfareintergroup.eu/calendar/bio...

The EU must uphold its leadership on animal welfare at the WTO. EU citizens have already made their choice clear: seal products from commercial hunts have no place on the European market. Weakening the EU Seal Regime would undermine animal welfare, science & democratic will. 👉 bit.ly/4cdaNlP

The fact that Thomas Massie lost a Republican primary because he wants pedophiles to face justice tells you everything you need to know about the state of the Republican party… Full stop.

EXCELLENT news this morning: Officers Dunn and Hodges sue to dissolve the "Anti-Weaponization Fund" that will most certainly be used to fund further insurrectionist activity www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Trump wouldn't need immunity from prosecution or IRS audit if he weren't breaking the law. Hold him to the same standards as you and I are held.

The Entire Chump Family Should Be Arrested, Tried And Convicted, Of Enriching Themselves, During Don The Con's Time In Office......

BREAKING: Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, two law enforcement officers who clashed with Jan. 6 insurrectionists, have sued to block the Trump 'slush fund'. They're asking a federal judge to find the creation of the fund illegal and reverse any transfers that Treasury has made to DOJ to implement it.

don’t know a ton about government financing. And even I know the President isn’t supposed to have tax immunity and his own government-funded slush fund. How is this happening in broad daylight?

. All I know is #Massie better burn that place to the ground on his way out We want all the names We want all the tea. .

Quick! Who’s the very first person to come to mind when you hear the words “PEDOPHILE RAPIST”?

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

If you think Trump and his criminal administration are doing a good job, and if you think costs, wages, and the economy feel fair and sustainable, then you can go right ahead and skip this.
