This is profound. Shall we call it the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Ballroom?

BREAKING: An appeals court denied the Trump administration's latest effort to deploy National Guard troops in the Chicago area.

This ruling is more confirmation that President Trump's attempts to send troops into our communities are unjustified and cannot continue.

Friendly reminder to make upgrades this year.

Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act gave us a 30% tax credit for certain energy efficient upgrades.

Trump’s “Bill Beautiful Bill” killed them.

You have until December 31.

Struggling with this lately.
Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

The President of the United States went on CNBC today and said: He won the 2020 election (he didn’t). He has a 71% approval rating (he doesn’t). The jobs numbers were rigged (they weren’t).

I could say something funny here, but I won’t. It’s just so damn dangerous to have him in the White House.

I love Superman. Just saw it for the second time and I smiled so much.

Love this dude.
This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.

I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

We’ll never know what could have been, but we do know they chose to believe him and not her, and now they are making up excuses for their votes that put us all in harm’s way.

Don’t think this is a one-off.

The level of stupidity, ignorance, and bootlicking here about the Iran bombing is just breathtaking. Every comment.

I mean.. you gotta have like zero civic education or knowledge of current affairs to have these kinds of thoughts.
