BREAKING:
Trump has parked tanks on the National Mall. The National Mall area has virtually no crime. This is how we know it's all for the cameras.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to?
HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

The #Epstein files are all over social media, but I think we need to spend more time talking about the 1000+ victims. Best article I've read yet on the subject. Write your congresspersons and demand answers.
