Stephen Colbert calls BS on Trump administrations response to ICE killing
Stephen Colbert's monologue on Monday had a far more serious tone than usual, with the Late Show host discussing ICE's killing of nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday.
"Masked government agents disarmed an American citizen and then executed him in the streets," says Colbert, describing what videos of the shooting showed despite what the Trump administration has tried to claim.
Colbert goes on to respond to Trump officials trying to reframe the shooting with contradictory statements, including Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino, who described the federal agents as "the victims" on CNN.
"Bulls***!" responds Colbert. "Masked secret police shooting innocent people with impunity in the streets are not victims. The only way they could ever even be considered close to victims is that they are, at best, weak-minded individuals full of anger who have been led to the darkness by Donald Trump and are now participating in an evil system that will stick to them like hot black tar for the rest of their lives."
Elsewhere, Jimmy Kimmel and Jon Stewart both had similar thoughts.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani casually crashes Jimmy Fallons monologue to tell a joke
Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show is normally packed with celebrity guests, but it's not often one interrupts him mid-monologue to tell a joke.
In the clip above Fallon is running through a series of gags about how cold it is in New York City, when Mayor Zohran Mamdani suddenly appears next to the host to ask if he can "try one."
"It's so cold in New York City the rent froze itself," Mamdani says, nodding to his campaign promise of freezing rent for stabilised tenants. He then offered a serious message about the severe weather conditions. "But seriously, stay inside, stay warm, stay safe."
Clawdbot AI security risks you need to know before trying it
Updated on Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 5:11 p.m. ET — Clawdbot has officially changed its name to Moltbot, for very predictable reasons.
Yesterday, we wrote about Clawdbot, a new AI personal assistant that's achieved viral status in Silicon Valley. Many AI agents have been criticized for over-promising and under-delivering, but early users are raving about Clawdbot. That would be impressive enough, but this open-source tool is also completely free — no purchase price, no subscriptions, no nothing.
So, what's the catch?
Clawdbot's creator Peter Steinberger is transparent about the fact that running Clawdbot comes with certain security risks. As he writes on GitHub, "Running an AI agent with shell access on your machine is… spicy."
Before you install Clawdbot and start running it on your device (or before you buy a whole new Mac Mini to power it), you should understand the security risks.
SEE ALSO: Clawdbot users are snapping up the Mac Mini — and it’s under $500 at Amazon What is Clawdbot?First, let's quickly explain what this tool is. Clawdbot is an AI agent that runs on your device. You can give it access to AI models like Claude or ChatGPT, as well as your email, Slack, browser, and calendar. Clawdbot also has an extensive memory, and it remembers your past conversations and preferences. Because it has wide-ranging access to your computer and apps, it's able to take proactive action and execute tasks.
As an open-source tool, you can download it and customize it for free.
Clawdbot AI: How secure is your data? Credit: ClawdbotWith Clawdbot, your system is as secure as your security practices. That might seem obvious, but stick with us.
Clawdbot isn't a normal piece of software, which is also why installing and running it isn't as easy as downloading Zoom or Microsoft Word onto your Mac or Windows PC. Beginners can find step-by-step instructions, but you'll need some technical competence to use it properly and keep it secure. That's because Clawdbot has the ability to read and write files, run commands, and execute scripts on your device. It can also control web browsers, giving it the ability to make purchases, reserve hotels, or check into flights.
In short, everything that makes Clawdbot unique and helpful also makes it potentially risky. Generally, AI processes that happen on your device are much more secure than cloud-based AI processes. In this regard, Clawdbot is a step up from many AI tools. However, its system-level access also leaves you vulnerable.
As Steinberger writes, "There is no 'perfectly secure' setup."
Prompt injection is one of the major risks, but there are others outlined in the Clawdbot security page on GitHub. Before using Clawdbot, be aware of risks such as:
Bad actors could use prompt injection to get Clawdbot to misbehave
Bad actors could use social engineering to get access to your private data and learn information about your device
It could make purchases you didn't intend
It could damage your device by rewriting important files
Luckily, you can find an entire guide to securely using Clawdbot, available for free on GitHub. There's even a security audit you can periodically run to make sure your setup is as secure as possible.
However, another word of warning: If terms such as config file, remote admin API, sandboxing, localhost, reverse proxy, and legacy models don't mean anything to you, then Clawdbot may not be the right AI assistant for you.
Jon Stewart goes scorched earth on Trump administration over ICE killing of Alex Pretti
Like Jimmy Kimmel and many of the other late night hosts, Jon Stewart's monologue on Monday was largely focused on ICE's deadly shooting of nurse Alex Pretti by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis on Saturday.
Over the course of 23 minutes, the Daily Show host unpacks what happened and the massive difference between the video footage and the Trump administration's description of events. Then, Stewart plays more footage of various officials on the right characterising Pretti as being at fault for carrying a weapon — the White House is now walking back this "deny and attack" tactic after public backlash.
"Are you f***ing kidding me right now? Are you saying that the problem was the guy had a gun? Are you saying that the guns are the problem?" says a stunned Stewart, before going on to give his view on what happened.
"They're lying. We saw it. And that's how brazen they lie, when they know we've seen the truth. That's how they lie when they know we know. Imagine how they lie when there's no evidence to contradict them? And that, more than anything, explains why Alex Pretti really was a threat. Because he was brandishing a weapon: A handheld aluminum, 1080p, 60fps, weapon of mass illumination. Because there is nothing more dangerous to a regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth."
