For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

Screenshot of a tweet by Rep. Ted Lieu stating that U.S. military law prohibits war crimes, including strikes on civilian infrastructure that cause disproportionate harm. The tweet warns that service members must disobey illegal orders and could face prosecution by a future administration if they commit war crimes.

An honest discussion on this, though you can't really have one about something so cynical and twisted, is that the cuts DOGE and Trump made to the IRS enforcement will cost taxpayers more than any alleged cuts, likely even including the gutting of Medicaid and food stamps.

They’re losing control and it shows: ICE played musical detainees, Epstein files did a vanishing act, wind projects died of “classified,” and judges ordered due process reinstated. States sued, courts pushed back, and power started squealing like bald tires on a crumbling road.

Photographer Christopher Anderson on the Vanity Fair photoshoot
An excerpt from The Washington Post's interview with photographer Christopher Anderson:

Question: "Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?"

Anderson: "I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, 'Should I smile or not smile?' and I said, 'How would you want to be portrayed?' We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, 'You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.' And I looked at him and I said, 'You know, you do, too.'"
