Insider warns Colbert ouster will hurt CBS in ways executives didn't see coming Let them know, people. Remind them who has the power. #SeeBS #BariWeiss #Ellison www.rawstory.com/stephen-colb...

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 ❤️

Hell Yeah Science☄️💥⚡️💯

Trump actually stood there and called being a Supreme Court Justice a "very easy job." He treats the highest court in the land like a low-effort retirement gig because he has absolutely zero respect for our democratic institutions. The sheer laziness is breathtaking.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

Jacobs: The War Powers Resolution of 1973 is very clear. After 60 days, the president is required to withdraw troops from hostilities unless Congress acts. Congress has not acted, and yet it is day 73 and my constituents are still in the region.

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.

BOYCOTT CBS. Never watch anything on it ever again.

SEN. TILLIS (R): “These people don't deserve restitution. Many of them deserve to be in prison. This is just stupid on stilts. Republicans need to speak up. This is beyond the pale… This is bad policy, bad timing, bad politics.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

I cried almost the entire show. It was like being forced to say goodbye to a family member or friend. This is just so wrong. He deserved so much better. I hope we see an unfiltered Colbert in the near future. Paul McCartney is a treasure & the perfect choice for his final guest & musical artist.

🚨Last night in House Appropriations, all Republicans present voted to allow THEMSELVES to get settlements from the January 6th Slush Fund. I am not making this up.

☮️ Paul McCartney sending off Stephen Colbert is yet another reason the arts are everything. We will take this sad song we are living through in America and make it better…

Hell of a run, my friend! Thank you, Stephen, for the past 11 seasons of bringing laughter into our homes, speaking truth to power with a smile, and being loud for America.

The Beatles made their US debut at this very same stage and now Paul McCartney is back to sign off Colbert. Pretty poetic.

People like Jeff Bezos need to understand we’re not demanding that billionaires pay more tax because we hate them; we’re demanding it because we want the system to be fairer. Although we do in fact hate them, but that’s beside the point.

🚨BREAKING: On behalf of our voter clients, we just won DOJ voter data case. We are 6-0 and DOJ is 0-7. www.democracydocket.com/cases/maine-...

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

🔥 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." 🇺🇸

People forgot what the economy was like after Covid.

Ken Paxton is one of the most corrupt people in politics. Texans should be sending him to prison — not the Senate.

Merkley: "Is the Epstein investigation closed or open?…The FBI said last year in July that it had closed the Epstein investigation." Blanche: "I don't understand what 'Epstein investigation' means. As for Jeffrey Epstein himself? Yes, he's dead."

The people growing our food aren’t the ones getting rich. Monopolies rig the system so a handful of corporations control prices, land, and livelihoods. Texans deserve fair markets that work for regular people again.

How is he getting away with all this corruption?! #Pinks #USDemocracy

Musk and Trump killed USAID—and they've got blood on their hands www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

The Epstein files changed me forever. I read them in painstaking detail over months, realizing in real time that we are not ruled by laws equally applied. We are ruled by wealth, access, and protection networks. America is a syndicate. I’ll never get over it, so don’t ask me to.

CBS backlash has pushed Colbert to 2.70 million viewers. Weiss is now faced with canceling the MOST WATCHED PROGRAM in the late-night time slot. Fire her - keep Colbert is the answer.

So incredibly corrupt. A slush fund for his friends who attacked the Capitol, ogles, etc. - and himself. www.kwqc.com/2026/05/18/t...

BREAKING: Melanie Stansbury says that the prison guard keeping watch on the night of the death of Jeffrey Epstein testified under oath that she believes it was a homicide.

Maybe Democrats should, you know, impeach Trump for brazen corruption and profiting off of war crimes and now stealing OUR money to pay off January 6th insurrectionists.

Donald Trump just stole $1.7B from us — and he's creating a slush fund to reward his political allies. I've never seen anything like this in my 50 years in politics. It makes Nixon look like a boy scout. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/18/t...

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

EVERY STATE SHOULD DO THIS

In the first months of 2026, the orange felon traded on the stock market 3,700 times including in companies he promoted. This isn’t just corruption on steroids in broad daylight, it’s unbelievably criminal. He and his officials belong in jail, not in the bulldozed White House.

Anderson Cooper's last segment on 60 mins. We are witnessing the death of a network. CBS. The last to go Stephen Colbert.

“Swallow this.”

We've seen the largest attack on multiracial democracy in a generation as well as their assault on women, girls, LGBTQ community. Now we're seeing the assault on civil rights and voting rights. An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. Each of us needs to step up and do our part.

And in this moment, we discover that peace is not a destination, but a way of being—rooted in the present, calm and unencumbered. The world will always move fast, but beneath the trees, we are reminded that sometimes the simplest pause can bring the deepest clarity.

"Heat pumps just shift gas burning to the power station." Wrong. Even if 100% of electricity came from gas, a heat pump at SCOP 3.8 uses 51% less gas than a boiler. At a terrible SCOP 2.5, still 25% less. David MacKay made this point in 2008. The maths hasn't changed.

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.

I rarely say “major breaking” and rarely put out these video hits, but this is pretty major.

I quoted the Virginia Constitution and Republicans are losing their minds.🤯 Jonathan Turley suggested I am a "radical" and "Jacobian" for literally quoting the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights.😂

Why is a 76-year-old man doing all the hard work in this moment? Where are the Millennial/Gen Z artists (ahem, Taylor Swift) to shake their audiences into sobriety about what is going on? open.substack.com/pub/saltypol...

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

Breaking: WASHINGTON (AP) — Denise Powell wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District.

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

I wish someone would corner these chuds on "only when the sun shines or the wind blows." It's spectacularly embarrassing that the ENERGY secretary doesn't know how storage batteries work.
