Stephen Presents: Lorde (Extended)

Trump’s GOP allies are trying to deny the existence of the Epstein birthday note even after it was released by the House Oversight Committee, and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor did not mince words in her dissent to the court’s decision to allow ICE to target all Latinos regardless of citizenship status. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor discusses the court’s frequent use of the so-called “shadow docket” and explains why she issued a strong dissent to the court’s ruling on ICE’s powers. Justice Sotomayor’s latest book, “Just Shine! How To Be A Better You” is available now in English and Spanish.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Stephen Colbert hasn’t aged a day in ten years, the name of the Department of Defense was too woke for President Trump, Americans finally got a glimpse of a gross drawing Trump gave Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday, and the residents of Nantucket have been outed as above-average partiers.

Academy Award-winner Cillian Murphy explains that “relief of missing out” is how he felt while sitting in the audience at a screening of a new film by director Christopher Nolan, which in a rare twist does not count Cillian Murphy as a cast member. Murphy’s new film, “Steve,” opens in select theaters September 19th and is available on Netflix starting October 3rd.
