I’m so excited to return to The Late Show w/ Stephen Colbert! I did such a great job last time, they asked me back a mere 8 years later. #TheLifeOfChuck

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

So it’s not “Big & beautiful”?

“One more question, sir. You wrote a book about the former president's cognitive issues, but the current president posted that the former president was executed in 2020 and replaced by a mindless, soulless robot with cancer. What am I missing here?”

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

I’m glad this made the Times.

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

#taco

Good Saturday morning to shout out, TACO TACO TACO TACO TACO TACO! #TACO

TACO TACO TACO-MAN. I WANT TO BE A TACO-MAN. 🎵

Jake Tapper's TV show ratings are tanking and his book isn't selling, proving that peddling irrelevant BS during a time of an actual national crisis isn't a winning formula.

You’re telling me this guy was on drugs? I’m not buying it.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

“We all are going to die,” as a response to legitimate constituent concerns about Medicaid cuts *should* be a career-ending statement. Jodi Ernst should be asked why she said this.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

The crazy is strong tonight

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

🚨 DOGE is gutting the VA right in front of us. Thousands of jobs gone. Mental health care slashed. Claims delayed. Vets left waiting—or left behind. This isn’t a budget decision. It’s a betrayal of the people who served. If you’re not angry, you’re not paying attention.

Meltdown on Truth Social in 3, 2, 1...

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...

Our current president is severely mentally unwell, and the media needs to cover it now.

Lara Trump: Jake Tapper called me about two months ago, actually. He said I have this book coming out. And I know everybody is saying that I should apologize to you. I plan, whenever the book comes out to go on TV and I will say you were right and I was wrong. And I guess to his credit, he did that.

“We’re looking for Osama bin Laden, so I can issue him a pardon. He was treated very unfairly.”

“Vance has changed gimmicks, too—going from media-friendly Never Trump intellectual, to paleocon darling, to try-hard MAGA troll. He’s changed his politics, his name, and even his religion in an attempt to get over with the crowd. Just like Honky Tonk.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Getting ready for another week of fighting for democracy in court.

Nothing sadder than a tough guy who needs to remind you he's tough, right after admitting to shielding Russia.

Too many of my white friends are still doing risk analysis, still weighing the costs of expressing their new revelations, still concerned about what they will lose by speaking out. The reality is, the risks and consequences of silence are far greater. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/white-frie...

CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

Who writes like this? Someone who is angry, bitter, friendless, obsessed. And that really is sad.

Memorial Day is when we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

This is completely false and not From Liz or me.

Despicable as always.

My best friend. The love of my life. I’m grateful we’ve had so many big days together. Happy birthday MK, and here’s to many more!

Any news organization that covered that speech and didn't mention that he is clearly suffering from dementia & often incoherently rambling has abdicated their responsibility to truth in reportage. This abdication and failure, pretending he & his cult are normal, is a large part of how we got here.

Even after all this, the @nytimes continues to normalize it

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

The past few months have been tough, and we just want to say thank you. In the beginning, it felt like we were yelling into the wind, no one was listening. But then you all showed up. You raised your voices, shared the truth, and made the media pay attention.
