I guess they figure it can’t be any more dangerous than letting 100-year-olds drive (four more years!)

“Joe Biden announced on Monday that he will end the twin national emergencies to address the Covid-19 pandemic in May. Take that, Covid! We beat you! Shove that up your nose and rotate it five times. This has been a long time coming, and I wish you could see the smiles on the faces of my audience. And I wish I could too, because they’re still wearing masks. The end of the national emergency and public health emergency declarations will restructure the federal coronavirus response to treat the virus as an endemic threat to public health. So Covid is no longer an emergency, just a disease we’re all going to live with forever. Phew?” —Stephen Colbert

“On Tuesday, George Santos told reporters that he would step down from his roles on the committee on small business and the committee on science, space and technology. Well that’s a shame, because they won’t benefit from his expertise. I mean after all, Santos was the first dog in space.” —Stephen Colbert

“And Manhattan prosecutors have started presenting a case against Donald Trump, and his use of campaign funds for a hush money deal with Stormy Daniels, to a grand jury. According to prosecutors, Trump wrote off the $130,000 paid to Daniels, a porn star he allegedly had sex with, as legal expenses, which in New York constitutes fraud. If indicted, he could face up to four years in prison. I never thought I would say this about that man, but … four more years!” —Stephen Colbert

“Florida lawmakers proposed legislation that would allow residents to carry firearms without a permit. I don’t know, I guess they figure it can’t be any more dangerous than letting 100-year-olds drive.” —Seth Meyers
