- Government Spending & Renovations: Colbert criticizes a push by Senate Republicans for $1 billion in taxpayer funding for a Trump ballroom, despite previous claims that it would be privately funded (4:40-6:05). He also jokes about the ongoing resurfacing of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool (6:18-8:02).
- FDA & Health Policy: The segment covers controversial updates regarding RFK Jr. and the FDA, including rule changes allowing minors in tanning beds, the approval of fruit-flavored vapes for adults, and a scandal involving the suppression of government-funded vaccine studies (8:21-12:06).
