But I think there was a not-so-hidden message there: He might be drawing the curtains on *this* scene. But the play is far from over.
He'll be saying "Hello!" again before too long.
I can’t wait to see what he does next. Whatever it is, I know it’ll be special—and unforgettable. (5/5)

But I also felt a sense of anticipation, knowing whatever he does next (after he writes his LOTR movie!), it'll be something extraordinary.
As he closed with Paul McCartney and a star-studded array of friends, singing the Beatles’ “Hello Goodbye,” you could see the emotion in his face. (4/5)
As I watched the final episode of the Late Show, I couldn’t help but feel sad, and deeply enraged by how Trump essentially had him kicked off the air—all so CBS could complete its multi-billion-dollar merger.
(Colbert playing copyrighted songs so CBS would get sued was a nice touch!) (3/5)
Years ago, not long after I arrived in Congress, I was invited to appear on the Colbert Report, to talk about everything from knitting and lobstering to health care and gay rights.
It was the thrill of a lifetime. He couldn’t have been kinder or more graceful. And he was *so* so funny. (2/5)
🧵
Stephen Colbert is one of the most important and impactful political voices of our time. The wit, the humor, the brilliant insights—he's truly remarkable. A genius in the truest sense of the word.
But it’s his deep humanity, his ability to really connect with people, that I admire most. (1/5)
We’ll never be able to undo the trauma caused by this Administration. But we *can* create a saner, safer, more just, and more humane immigration laws—and close the loopholes this Administration is weaponizing against children and families.
It’s not just sound policy. It’s a moral imperative.
Since Trump took office, more than 6,200 children have been arrested by DHS.
Yesterday, advocates gathered on the Mall to shine a spotlight on the horrors of child detention—with an installation featuring hundreds of teddy bears and paper dolls, symbolizing the sheer scope and scale of the crisis.
Americans are being CRUSHED by soaring energy prices.
What are Republicans doing about it? Sabotaging clean energy that would help lower your bills—including using $2 BILLION in taxpayer money to stop offshore wind projects already in progress.
WHAT!?!?
Their priorities are COMPLETELY twisted.
Last year, the Admin illegally terminated thousands of grants at the NEA and NEH—agencies that help generate more than $1 TRILLION in economic activity.
These cuts don’t just silence voices and stymie creators. They erase the spaces where healing, connection, and community happen.
It’s just WRONG!
Apparently Republicans are fine with slashing the EPA by 20%, cutting water infrastructure funding, and eliminating cultural programs in our communities.
As long as Trump gets his ridiculous ballroom and triumphal arch!
This isn’t “fiscal responsibility.” It’s partisan BS—and completely tone-deaf.
Republicans voted it down.
The American people are BEGGING for relief from skyrocketing costs. This program was making a difference.
Why would Republicans want to kill it?
Two words: Big Oil.
The Home Energy Rebates program helped hundreds of Mainers install heat pumps—dramatically reducing their energy bills.
The Admin froze it.
@wassermanschultz.house.gov offered an amendment stipulating that DOE either release the funds, or come to our committee and explain *why* they remain frozen.
Whenever Barney spoke, whatever the story or anecdote, I knew I was about to learn something—and laugh a whole lot.
I will miss him dearly. My heart goes out to Jim, Barney’s family, his many friends and colleagues, and the countless people whose lives he touched. (4/4)
Barney could be a curmudgeon, no doubt. But he also had an incredible heart—and a kindness that those who knew him will never forget.
After he retired and began spending more time in Maine with his husband Jim, I got a chance to really get to know them both. I will cherish those memories. (3/4)
Barney believed deeply in democracy, social justice, and the ability of government to improve people’s lives.
Whether he was defending civil rights, fighting for consumers, or crafting the landmark Dodd-Frank bill, Barney combined progressive values with a legislative mind unlike any other. (2/4)
🧵
Barney Frank was one of the most brilliant, fearless, and impactful public servants of our time—and someone I was proud to call a friend.
In the years we served together, whenever I was on the House floor and Barney rose to speak, I knew I was about to hear something special. (1/4)
No wonder he’s amending his “deal” for a $1.8 billion slush fund to include guarantees that the IRS drop any current and future tax claims against him and his family.
This is corruption on a historic scale—and a giant middle finger to the American people.
Here’s a picture worth a thousand words—and millions of dollars!
Trump has made more than 3,600 stock trades since January. In several cases, these purchases were followed by remarks in which he encouraged people to invest in those *same* companies.
This is the DEFINITION of insider trading!
I’m continuing to hold Andrew’s loved ones, those recovering, the Robbins Lumber family, the people of Searsmont, and the surrounding communities in my heart—and wishing nothing but the best to all who’ve been affected. (4/4)
Having represented Searsmont and many nearby towns over the years (first in the State Senate, then in Congress), I know how much these citizens care about their communities—and their neighbors.
For as heartbreaking as this tragedy is, that resilience and selflessness will carry them through. (3/4)
