President Trump is now withholding GAVI vaccines from poor countries--like a $3 vaccine against malaria, and a $4 vaccine against cervical cancer. Countless thousands will die as a result. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/09/o...

COLBERT: How dumb do you think it is for people to say that I should run for president? OBAMA: Well, you know, the bar has changed. I think you would perform significantly better than some folks we've seen. COLBERT: Is that an endorsement? OBAMA: It was not
