Stephen Colbert Reveals 'Appalling' Habit Even Trump's Own Aides Are Struggling With
'Late Show' host Stephen Colbert said President Donald Trump's aides are struggling to keep him informed of world events for one very Trump-like reason. 'According to intelligence experts who have tried to brief him, the problem with Trump is that he doesn't read,' Colbert said, citing a Rolling Stone report. 'Which is appalling.' Colbert said one CIA analyst reportedly said that while Trump didn't read his daily intelligence briefing, he 'touched' it. 'Touching it doesn't count, I don't think,' Colbert said. A retired intelligence officer told Rolling Stone that the briefings were the 'most difficult challenges' the intelligence community faced. Colbert was left in disbelief. 'Yes, the most difficult challenges that the entire intelligence community of the United States has ever faced,' he repeated. 'Getting Trump to learn, I believe, is the plot of the next 'Mission: Impossible.'' There is now talk of giving Trump intelligence briefings via Fox News-style reports since he likes to watch the right-wing network. 'I think it actually makes sense because he is always like looking at Fox News and the best way to get information into his brain is just to put the information someplace he's already looking all the time,' Colbert said. 'So either they have to put the top secret information on Fox News, or at the bottom of a chicken bucket.' See more in his Tuesday night monologue:

Elon Musk just humiliated Trump, the bromance is over & the internet is roasting
ALLISON ROBBERT/AFP via Getty Images;President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's bromance may finally be over. The bromance between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk may finally be over. Not only has Musk announced he was stepping away from his position with DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency), but now he's openly criticizing the mega spending bill that will fund the Trump administration's legislative agenda, calling it a "disgusting abomination" in an extremely public post on X (formerly Twitter). "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk wrote. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.' This came amid a flurry of posts from Musk, where he openly admonished Republicans for voting for the 'One Beautiful Bill Act,' which the Trump administration claims will decrease the federal deficit, but Democrats have said will only serve to raise it while cutting social services like Medicaid. Musk spent $288 million on Trump's election campaign, and until recently, the two men have been joined at the hip as Musk helped him campaign, attended his inauguration (where he rallied the crowd with a, and held court alongside Trump at the White House as the head of DOGE. But now Musk has written on X that "Congress is making America bankrupt' and the spending bill 'will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt.' Although Musk hasn't posted anything about Trump specifically, he doesn't have to as the meaning is clear. The president has spent weeks whipping the vote and making veiled threats against any Republican congresspeople who oppose it. This public break from Trump is likely bothering the president bigly, and it's causing people across the internet to roast the MAGA president and Musk for a divorce that seemingly is in the air. Gay Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia tagged Musk in a post where he pointed out that 'the only people who voted for this bill were House Republicans.' Someone else quipped that "Elon's just mad because Trump's spending bill doesn't cut enough food aid for starving little Ethiopian children,' while other people joked that 'the breakup is complete.' Keep scrolling for the funniest reactions to the end of Trump and Musk being besties! "OMG the breakup is complete." "Hey @elonmusk, the only people who voted for this bill were House Republicans." "Trump is a failure and even Elon Musk knows it" "Elon's just mad because Trump's spending bill doesn't cut enough food aid for starving little Ethiopian children" "Elon Musk just went OFF on Donald Trump and the Republicans. Seems like their divorce is happening ASAP!" "Elon today." "Two things can be true at once: Elon is correct; and also no one cares what he thinks, least of all Trump." "ICYMI: Elon Muskrat just tweeted: "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." Only the GOP voted for it" "Elon Musk has gone woke" "Schumer: If even Elon Musk—who is Trump's buddy—says the bill is bad, you can imagine how bad this bill is." "The girls are fightingggg" "So in the elon musk and donald trump divorce who gets custody of MAGAts???' "As the child of divorce I know how hard it must be for Republicans in Congress to watch their daddies fight. But like a broken clock, Elon 'K-Hole' Musk is right." "'I don't know an Elon Musk, I take a lot of pictures with people. He may have brought me ketamine once or twice.' - DJT"

2026 Kia Niro EV Review: Expert Insights, Pricing, and Trims
Reviewed by Zach Gale As Kia's EV lineup continues to grow, will there be room for the Niro EV? The current Niro EV is still offered alongside hybrid and plug-in hybrid Niro variants that share the same versatile body. Should the 2026 Kia Niro EV return to the U.S., it's prime competitors will include the Chevrolet Equinox EV, Nissan Leaf, and Tesla Model 3. What's New Few changes are expected for the 2026 Kia Niro, but the 2027 model may have updated styling and upgraded interior tech. The big question is whether the Niro EV will remain in Kia's lineup or if the Kia EV3 (small electric SUV) or EV4 (small electric sedan) will take its place as an affordable electric car. What We Think The Kia Niro EV makes a sensible entry point for those new to electric vehicles, offering solid build quality, a well-organized cabin, and a hatchback design that adds everyday practicality. Its powertrain offers more grunt and polish than either of the other Niro powertrains (though it's not especially torquey like many EVs). The biggest problem with the 2026 Niro EV is that since this model originally debuted, the Chevrolet Equinox EV arrived with more range at a far more affordable price. As for the Kia, it's packed with standard features and sized well for city driving. Limiting appea is its occasionally firm ride, modest performance, and slow charging speed. Though its range is adequate for daily use, the Niro EV struggles to stand out against more affordable and more capable electric options, leaving it without a competitive advantage. A price cut could strengthen the Niro EV's draw, but we're just as curious for the electric model's viability given the incoming arrival of the EV4. As the older model on older architecture, the Niro EV may not be long for this world. MotorTrend Tested The Niro EV's single-motor FWD electric powertrain produces 201 hp and 188 lb-ft of torque. It's enough to accelerate the Niro EV to 60 mph in a MotorTrend-tested 6.5 seconds. That makes it quicker than the Niro PHEV or standard Niro hybrid models. EV Range and Charging Every pre-2026 Niro EV comes equipped with a 64.8-kWh battery, which delivers an estimated driving range of 253 miles. Its maximum charging speed of 85 kW lags behind the faster 150 kW and 350 kW DC fast chargers commonly found at public stations, making recharge times longer than many competitors. Expect these figures to carry over to 2026. To put this another way, the less expensive Chevrolet Equinox EV has a 307-319 mile range depending on trim, and a maximum charge rate of 150 kW. Kia's Newer Electric Cars Should the Niro EV retire, consumers looking for another all-electric Kia will have a good selection to choose from. The brand might be a little more advanced in its EV adoption plans than some other carmakers, already offering the larger EV6 crossover and EV9 three-row SUV and revealing even more are in the pipeline. The next wave of Kia's electric push should include the EV5, a two-row SUV that's like the Sportage of electric crossovers. The EV3 could be the likeliest replacement for the Niro EV, as it's a small two-row ute. However, at this point, it's unclear if the EV3 will arrive in the U.S. The EV4 is a compact entry the U.S. will see in sedan form and, as part of the larger picture, illustrates Kia's drive to legitimize the company's EV prowess. Safety Ratings and Features Although the Niro EV hasn't been safety rated, the 2025 Niro hybrid has been tested by NHTSA. In that government agency's testing, the 2025 Niro only got four stars overall out of a possible five. Driver assists should include two levels of blind-spot monitoring, the available more advanced version delivered with steering intervention. Standard features: Forward and reverse automatic emergency braking Lane keeping A driver focus monitor Automatic high beams Traffic sign monitor Adaptive cruise control Rear parking sensors Self-parking should come with the higher trim level. Technology Look for the Niro EV's dual 10.3-inch screens to return, one for the driver display and the other as an infotainment interface. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay will be standard, as will remote start, a power driver's seat, heated front seats, rear AC vents, and rain-sensing wipers. Six speakers are standard on the base model and an eight-speaker Harman Kardon system comes with the upgrade. Phone-as-key, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, power-folding side mirrors, ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel are also available. Other Electric Cars:
