Senator Markwayne Mullin, Republican of Oklahoma, challenged Sean M. O’Brien, the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, to a physical fight during a Senate committee hearing on Tuesday. If there’s going to be a fight, I’d like to warn that senator: You look pretty big, but, historically, people who take on the Teamsters end up with season tickets to Giants Stadium … underneath the end zone. — Stephen Colbert
Donald Trump has long toyed with the language of fascism, but is now openly cribbing from Hitler and Mussolini. In response to such comparisons, Trump’s team released a statement: “Those who try to make that ridiculous assertion are clearly snowflakes grasping for anything … and their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.” To that I offer an addendum: ‘Furthermore, anyone who says I’m a cannibal is a liar, and if they say it again, I will eat their delicious face.’ — Stephen Colbert

We are in this situation because Trump sold his supporters an obvious lie he had no intention of keeping, and now he's desperately trying to save face. For example, now he's just lying and saying the wall is already getting built. In fact, he even said recently that his supporters should start chanting "finish the wall" rather than "build the wall." Even your supporters know that you haven't started the wall. Because they know, if you had, Fox News would have a camera pointed at it 24/7, and the foreman on the job would be the fourth Fox and Friend. --Seth Meyers

“Looking into the lawsuit against the NFL by former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores for racial discrimination. Now, sure, almost 70% of NFL players are Black, and there’s only one Black head coach in the entire league, but the NFL can’t be racist! They spray-painted a tiny ‘end racism’ next to the Kansas City Chiefs logo!” —Stephen Colbert
“Flores was fired by Miami on 10 January, despite leading the team to its first back-to-back winning seasons since 2003. Despite his overall record, winning seven of his last eight games this season, Flores was fired, apparently because he did not get along and go along with the owner. But eight other teams also lost their coaches, and Flores got several interviews for open positions, including with the New York Giants. Such coaching searches are bound by the NFL’s ‘Rooney Rule’, which requires NFL teams to interview a diverse range of candidates for head coaching jobs and other leadership positions. It’s a great idea, gives everybody an opportunity, unless you don’t give an opportunity to anybody, which is what happened in this case. Flores learned via mistaken text from Bill Belichick, the New England Patriots coach, that the head coaching job had gone to someone else – three days before his interview with the team. So he’s saying they wasted his time just to check a pretend box about how they pretend care about diversity, though I imagine it did take the pressure off the job interview – ‘Where do I see myself in five years? Uh, I don’t know, suing you?’” —Stephen Colbert
