This is GLORIOUS

David Letterman & Stephen Colbert on the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theatre bringing back the classic @Letterman routine one last time

This is how you go out, @StephenAtHome! 😂

And may @CBS implode literally the same way without you

In 15 min they decided this entire whale species was less important than money from oil drilling.

15 minutes.

FIFTEEN MINUTES.

A 10-year-old wrote MAGA Congresswoman Virginia Foxx for a school project.

He chose to write about an electric vehicle tax credit. Something he thought was good for the environment.

Virginia responded by attacking him and his teacher for being propagandized.

Her words: “your teacher will not be able to give you a good education as they are too interested in indoctrinating you... How sad.”

An 80-year-old woman. Attacking a 10-year-old. For doing his homework.

These people have power over your life.

Breaking NYT:

The Trump Justice Department is dropping Biden-era charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani.

The reversal came after Adani hired a new legal team led by one of Trump's personal lawyers.

That lawyer went to DOJ and made a proposal: If prosecutors dropped the charges, Adani would be willing to invest $10 billion in the American economy and create 15,000 jobs.

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O'leary says 2 people fighting data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out its just 2 local girls in Utah, they make a hilarious video calling him the fuck out

CNN split screen of Trump saying he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation and Vance claiming that Trump didn’t say that.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

Put simply, Trump is lying. And his lies are big lies, not little ones.

The biggest outrage in yesterday’s SCOTUS decision from Alabama is that it impacts a primary election that’s just a week away. This is the Court that has repeatedly declined to protect minority voters’ rights when it’s “too close” to an election.

[Susan Peacock🦚 @Licious1105]

This is some bullshit, @GovKemp.

[Taniel @Taniel]

Georgia's gov signs a comically transparent law.

It makes local elections in 5 big blue counties nonpartisan, for GOP candidates to have chance to win without a party label.

It doesn't change anything elsewhere, for red county-voters to know who's R. https://t.co/uNGzeb3ZBy

We told you we were fighting for democracy and you called us ridiculous. Now a state is literally throwing out votes.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender.

AOC: It’s not a secret the disdain Ted Cruz has for people who work working-class jobs. It’s not a secret what he thinks of the waitresses, the line cooks—he thinks we’re less than him. He thinks that because he has a Harvard degree and has never scrubbed a table that it makes him better than someone who has actually had to work for a living.

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.

[scary lawyerguy @scarylawyerguy]

Goes w/o saying that if Joe Biden ever showed this level of dismissiveness toward the financial suffering of Americans, the entire media industrial complex would have collapsed on itself like a dying star in outrage but it's Trump, so this won't even be remembered by the weekend.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

Makary is out. Now the US has no CDC Director, No FDA Commissioner, and no Surgeon General. And the NIH Director who is also defacto acting CDC Director never trained in Medicine. During this hantavirus outbreak the US needs steady public health leadership and a authoritative voice to the American people. There currently is no one to fill that role.

Trump April 23: I contacted people "that have worked for me in the past, doing swimming pools," and one gave me a great price on the Reflecting Pool project

Trump May 4: "I have some very good contractors," asked three of them to "do me a favor fellas" and go look at the Reflecting Pool, and the best one gave me a great price

Trump today: The Reflecting Pool contract "went to a contractor I did not know, and have never used before"

Trump: Drugs coming by sea meaning coming by water. A lot of people don’t know what I mean by sea. They think I mean vision. I’m talking about sea like the sea.
