I’m ready to go on the road in California and start hosting town halls - in Republican districts. If GOP House members won’t hold town halls in their districts, we will.

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

Senator Elissa Slotkin: Grocery and home prices are going up, not down. Trump hasn't laid out a credible plan to deal with either of those. His tariffs will start a trade war that will hurt manufacturing and farmers

The President of the United States is a traitor to America and Ukraine. Trump has betrayed America’s values and ended the era of Pax Americana. This is not an American Presidency, this is a coup.

Some are saying Democrats shouldn't attend Donald Trump's State of the Union. I disagree. They should attend. And the minute he starts speaking, start getting up, one-by-one, and solemnly leave the chamber. It will be all anyone talks about the next day. And will drive Donald crazy.
