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.

In Trump's 1st week in office this term, he fired 17 Inspectors General. Their nonpartisan task was to act as watchdogs, rooting out crime and fraud in various departments. It was obvious then that Trump would ride roughshod over the law and Constitution...which he has.

Senator Jon Ossoff wins the Georgia Democratic primary for US Senate.

ICYMI: Hawaii became the first in the nation to reduce the influence of corporations and dark money groups trying to shape the state's elections.

When the president declared not only himself, but his family, and companies to be free from tax-evasion investigations as part of a deal for the tax PAYERS to hand him $1.4B to dole out to himself and his friends, and #RepKiggans didn't push back, it's time for her to lose in Nov. #FightBack757

The decisions made by state supreme courts touch every part of our lives. And that’s especially important when voting rights and basic freedoms are being challenged. Today voters in Georgia can stand up for fairness and integrity by electing Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to Georgia’s Supreme Court.

In case you need any more motivation to hold the most corrupt "president" in U.S. history accountable. #Register&VOTE 🌊

it is my favorite time of the year, i.e., when my solar panels mean that my monthly power bill is < $10. we also just got a level 2 charger installed for the car, and as i’m thinking of doing some more serious renos to the house, i may get more panels installed + a battery. fully green house baybee

A legal fight over Florida's new congressional map is now in the hands of a Leon County judge, as voting-rights groups ask the court to block the plan before the 2026 elections.

Ismael Ayala-Uribe, 39, died Sept. 22 after developing an abscess while detained at a for-profit ICE facility in Adelanto, California. He is one of four detainees who have died there since September.

“Republicans have to gerrymander because they can’t win the hearts and minds of enough voters outright. That’s why they’re diluting Black voting power. Because they know what the House could look like after November if Americans are allowed to vote in a fair election.”

Scammers impersonating federal agents have been targeting Virginia families whose loved ones have been detained by ICE. Remember: No government agency will ever ask for money through gift cards or mobile payment apps. ICE does not contact members of the public through WhatsApp.

This regime is making #China more powerful, and doesn't seem to care. Is this why people elected him? To make China richer? To make his own family richer? #StopTheGrift #StartTheInvestigations #FightBackVoteBlue in November.

Every once in a while he tells the truth.

#Grift for trump and his friends and family.

(1/2) It was an honor to join YWCA Richmond for the 46th Outstanding Women Awards and celebrate so many incredible women whose leadership and service are making a real difference in our communities.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

One American loses their job for every 6 immigrants removed from the workforce as researchers see 'no evidence' that ICE is helping the economy #maga #ice #immigrants #jobs #jobloss #lowerpay #affordability www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Democrats, Republicans, and Independents can all agree—Trump’s war of choice in Iran is hurting America. My colleagues and I are giving Senate Republicans yet another opportunity to do what’s right and end this war.

As the #BallroomRepublicans worry about creating an unnecessary dancing area, using your tax dollars of AT LEAST $400 million, how are you feeling when YOU go to the grocery store, or pay your bills? #Affordability seems to be a topic these people know nothing about. #FightBackVoteBlue in November.

Rep Grijalva: "The problem I see is that this administration makes blanket statements about what's not happening, and we have a portion of our nation that believe them blindly. We have to realize 91% of the people in detention in these concentration camps are in private prisons. So follow the money"

Inflation and prices out of control – and that is a direct result of Donald Trump’s disastrous war in Iran and his costly tariff taxes.

It was great joining @jamestalarico.bsky.social and @ginafortexas.bsky.social today in Texas. They're working hard to make a difference in the lives of all Texans, and will be able to do even more as your next Senator and Governor. Let’s get it done, Texas!

Jen #Kiggans giggled, and said "ditto, yes, yes to that" when a radio host used racially charged descriptions for Rep Jeffries. NOW, she's gaslighting us into believing that she was just saying he needs to stay out of VA politics. If true, she would have said "yes, keep out of Virginia politics".

Trump in his own words: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situations. I don’t think about anybody.”

Perfect campaign ad for the upcoming Midterms. 👌

Paint GRANITE??

We were dealt a blow today, but we're not out. #FightBackVoteBlue

The bait and switch of the ballroom plans seems to represent the bait and switch of the Republican ideology since the 1980s. #maga #trump #ballroom #billion #baitandswitch

"Trump is gift-wrapping U.S. jobs & profits & shipping them straight to China. He 86ed American dominance in EVs & wind through trade wars and executive orders - then helped spark a global energy crunch that’s now turbocharging Chinese EV & wind sales" - Tom Perriello bluevirginia.us/2026/05/wedn...

If you are in the Williamsburg area consider donating supplies for Avalon Center. Sponsored by Community Coalition for Common Ground www.cc4cg.org, a grassroots organization dedicated to promoting civic engagement.

OBAMA: A good policy that I'd like to see followed is that the president shouldn't have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in COLBERT: How much of that is just jealousy that you didn't think of selling sneakers?

On Sat, May 9 in #VirginiaBeach, learn about the range of reproductive healthcare services in #HamptonRoads & the organizations fighting for #reproductivefreedom. Also, info available on how you can help pass the constitutional amendment that's on the ballot this November. bit.ly/hr-may-repro...

Apparently, the Senate assumes there's a quorum, until someone brings up the possibility that there isn't. I assume 3 showing up may trigger a quorum vote, but this is part of why the Senate was supposedly the more dignified, and responsible chamber of Congress..🤣🤣 www.congress.gov/crs-product/...

MAGA Rep Chuck Edwards of North Carolina - married since 1980. Voted against same-sex marriage. Quoted God on the sanctity of ‘one man, one woman.’ Currently under Ethics investigation for a long-term affair with his own staffer. Republican “Family Values” “Sanctity of Marriage”.

Watch what they do, not what they say...

❗Reminder... #affordability #healthcare #housing #energy

Republicans are actively working to block abortion medication and force women into delivery. Republican lawmakers in Tennessee recently proposed the Death Penalty for women that get abortions.

France passed a law in 2022 requiring car parks to install #solar. * Applies if ≥80 spaces * Must cover at least 50% of area * Exemptions (grid constraints, heritage sites) We did it with disabled spaces why not solar? There are obstacles but none are strong enough to justify not doing it at all!

When November comes, remember to #vote like the billionaires didn't buy your voice. Save our country. 🌊

Google co-founder Sergey Brin — the third-richest man on the planet — is reportedly spending $57M to defeat California's proposed billionaire's tax. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

If voting didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be working so hard to try to stop us from doing it.

What a great concept

"Right now, our industry is afraid of the wrong things. We’re afraid of offending power. We’re afraid of losing access. We’re afraid of another baseless lawsuit... "There is a fine line between being a team player and being an accomplice...” www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...

Thousands in downtown Tucson AZ today walk out of work and school...

Week in and week out, I’m voting to end this painful war in Iran. Americans want action on health care, energy, and housing costs, not another forever war.
