“There were two government scandals from the weekend. First, the leak of classified US intelligence documents, which first appeared on a Discord server weeks ago. According to one investigator, ‘this sh*t was sitting in a Minecraft Discord server for a month and no one noticed’. So national secrets were on a video game chat? Turns out the nuclear launch codes were up up, down down, right, B, A, start.” —Stephen Colbert
“To make matters weirder, the leaked documents were not uploaded. Rather, photos were posted of crumpled documents, as if they’d been hastily folded up and shoved into a pocket. That’s it? The technology was ‘put in pocket’? The movies make stealing national secrets look so much harder. Get ready for the new Tom Cruise movie, Mission Impossible – Wait, I Just Shoved It in My Pants.” —Stephen Colbert
“Posting in all caps on Truth Social, the former president Trump wished a ‘Happy Easter to all, including those that dream endlessly of destroying our country because they are incapable of dreaming of anything else’ among other campaign messages about the wall, socialists, Marxists and communists. What a warm and lovely man he is. Instead of license plates in jail, they should have him write greeting cards. I think that would be a better use of his gifts. At this point, Donald Trump’s brain is basically a bowl of microwaved Peeps.” —Jimmy Kimmel
