Adam Schiff's On-Air Message To Trump Had Colbert's Audience Cheering. Then He Went Further.
Trump has been far more effective at cultivating 'a climate of fear' since returning to the Oval Office than he ever was in his first term, Schiff said on the (soon-to-be-canceled) 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'
Law firms, universities, judges, immigrants, news organizations and even Republicans in Congress are all in Trump's crosshairs, said the lawmaker.
Schiff reminded viewers of Trump's attacks on him. 'Ever since I led his first impeachment, he's threatened me with jail, prosecution, called me a traitor, accused me of treason… blah blah blah,' he said.
Then Schiff turned directly to the camera with a message for the president.
'Donald, piss off,' he declared, earning thunderous applause from the studio audience.
After the cheers died down, Schiff added with a smirk: 'But Donald, before you piss off — would you release the Epstein files?'

An article on Tuesday about jurists losing faith in President Trump's Justice Department misstated Andrew Wiederhorn's role with the restaurant chain Fatburger. He was previously a chief executive of the chain and founded its parent company. He did not create the restaurant chain. A picture caption with an article on Wednesday about a growing debate in Japan between those who defend pacifism as a national virtue and those who think the country must abandon it referred incorrectly to a treaty that Japan has not signed. It is the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, not the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. An article on Wednesday about how the Trump administration will gain access to the standardized test scores and grade point averages of all applicants to Columbia and Brown University misstated the findings of an SAT report from the College Board. The report found that 1 percent of the African American high school graduates who took the SAT in 2024 scored between 1400 and 1600, the highest possible scores, and 27 percent of the Asian graduates scored at that level. It is not the case that, of all the high school graduates who scored between 1400 and 1600 in 2024, 1 percent were African American and 27 percent were Asian. An article on July 31 about Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva voicing frustration with President Trump over tariffs misidentified birds roaming the presidential palace lawns. They were rheas, not emus. An article on Wednesday about how Texas Republicans are hoping the surge of Hispanic support for President Trump in 2024 will last through the 2026 midterm elections misstated the percentage of votes that Representative Henry Cuellar, Democrat of Texas, won in Starr County in the 2024 elections. It was 69 percent, not 60 percent. An article on Wednesday about the Trump administration's plans to terminate $7 billion in federal grants intended to help low- and moderate-income families install solar panels on their homes misstated the amount of money the Georgia Bright Communities Coalition was using to provide free rooftop solar panels to about 800 Georgia households. It is about $12 million of a $156 million Solar for All grant, not the entire $156 million grant amount. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Sony hikes annual profit forecast by 4%, citing smaller trade war impact
Sony raised its full-year operating profit forecast Thursday by 4% to 1.33 trillion yen ($9.01 billion), citing a diminished impact from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war. In May, Sony forecast a profit of 1.28 trillion yen, factoring in a 100 billion yen hit from the tariffs. The Japanese conglomerate has transformed from a maker of household electronics such as the Walkman to an entertainment behemoth spanning games, movies, music and chips. Sony reported a 36.5% rise in operating profit to 340 billion yen for the April-June quarter, beating an estimate of 288 billion yen from eight analysts surveyed by LSEG.
