It’s like if King Midas touched a turd (it has nothing to do with a woman named Jolene)

We are celebrating the $355 million penalty in Trump’s New York civil fraud trial, which found him guilty of illegally inflating his assets, among other crimes. Because the ruling comes with back interest, Trump really owes the state of New York $454 million. Obviously, Trump needs cash fast. So he’s getting into foot stuff. Trump recently launched “Never Surrender” limited-edition sneakers, selling for $399 a pop. Yes, they are a bold fashion statement. It’s like if King Midas touched a turd. —Stephen Colbert

Trump continues to brag about being responsible for overturning Roe v Wade, despite the unpopularity of that decision, as evidenced by public outcry over a recent Alabama supreme court decision declaring IVF embryos “human beings” with equal protection under the law. The South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham, speaking on Fox News, evidenced the Republican position by trying to distance the ruling from the supreme court’s decision to overturn Roe in 2022. Saying this has nothing to do with Republicans is like saying Dolly Parton’s song Jolene has nothing to do with a woman named Jolene. —Seth Meyers
