As “The Late Show” approaches its end in May, Stephen Colbert “has turned his show’s last hurrah into a torrid victory lap, and he’s done it by manifesting the show he’d always envisioned: a show about love and a show about loss,” Lisa Schwarzbaum writes.

A 13-year-old had AI intimate deepfakes created of her.
The school took no action, she got in a fight, & was sent to an alternative school.
The boy who created the deepfakes faced no school discipline.
This isn't an isolated story - it's the reality of unregulated AI.

I'm less focused on the death threats than Trump making clear that he demands that "his" soldiers and ICE and CPB need to carry out whatever illegal orders he gives them.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Every day a new scandal from the past to the present erupts. The pattern is not some commentary on a set of institutions or leaders.
It is about the rot at the core of almost all our institutions and our leadership.
At its core, this is why fascism is here. The rot has rotted.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

Dick Cheney was a cruel bureaucrat who made corrupt institutions more abusive. Officials in those institutions then surrendered what was left of their morals to accommodate his evil vision. In time, those institutions became even more corrupt. What politicians say today will be revealing of the rot.
