Phil Gonzalez from CBS, welcome to the Verge’s background policy www.theverge.com/policy/88000...
CBS spokesperson Phil Gonzales provided The Verge with the same statement claiming
Colbert was not blocked from broadcasting the interview that was given to Variety and other outlets, but refused to attribute it by name per The Verge's background policy. Asked for a name, Gonzales wrote, "Respectfully, you don't need to use the statement. We will keep that in mind next time verge as us to reply [sic]."

Since the days of World War I, America was the country that resisted conquest, standing up to Hitler’s Germany, Tojo’s Japan and Stalin’s Soviet Union when they seized foreign terrain. Now Trump aspires to put America into the category of conquerors. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

Beyond parody
I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever. I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia! Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does. Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop. This is a War that would never have started if I were President. This is Zelenskyy’s, Putin’s, and Biden’s War, not “Trump’s,” I am only helping to put out the big and ugly fires, that have been started through Gross Incompetence and Hatred.

Cabinet officials in charge of two of America's biggest departments - including one dealing with health - don't believe germs are real.
Fox News host Pete Hegseth has said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing".

Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.

"I inoculate myself," added the Harvard and Princeton graduate.

Trump’s post was 7 minutes after the NYSE opened—before Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the 90-day pause on tariffs. The sequence and timing directly support insider trading and market manipulation. By informing people to buy before the policy was publicly disclosed, Trump broke the law.
An image of Trump’s Truth Social post. “Now is a good time to buy.” Rule 10b-5 prohibits the use of material nonpublic information for personal or third-party financial gain. Trump’s post, when combined with the market-moving announcement and Greer’s testimony, fits the legal definition of market manipulation and insider trading.
