The judge rejected the argument, after he stopped laughing (I'm gonna make it weird)


Donald Trump, who has about a month to raise half a billion dollars to pay his fraud judgments. But the more immediate financial threat to Trump is the $83.3 million he owes for his defamation of E Jean Carroll – Trump must post 110% of the verdict, or $91 million, in a cash bond by 9 March. You know the old saying: March comes in like a lion and goes out like a bankrupt sexual predator. —Stephen Colbert


Donald Trump’s legal team has tried numerous arguments to get out of the payments, the “craziest” one being that he shouldn’t have to post a bond at all because he’s “too rich”. You can’t argue with that logic – ‘oh also, your honor, I shouldn’t have to go to jail because I’m too guilty’. The judge rejected the argument, after he stopped laughing. —Stephen Colbert

The controversial Alabama ruling that IVF embryos constitute a “person”, thus freezing fertility treatments in the state surprised a lot of people. The Alabama court ruling follows 14 other “fetal personhood” bills introduced in state legislatures in 2023, which have already taken effect in Georgia and Missouri. On the bright side, if you’re a pregnant woman driving in Missouri, you can now use the carpool lane … to drive out of Missouri. —Stephen Colbert
