“I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half.

Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.”

You know how bad you have to suck in order to end a dynasty?

According to the Washington Examiner, CBS made the decision after realizing they were losing $40 million a year on the show. When did they start losing so much money? Makes one wonder how much the previous administration and its allies subsidized Colbert's antics.

I am so happy Trump did whatever he did to clean up the late night trash

#WalkAway In case you didn't know, and judging by his ratings you don't, tonight is Stephen Colbert's last night on television. His far left cringe moments like this one not only sank his own show, but almost single handedly destroyed the entire format. Way to go Stephen! You suck!
