CBS Cancels 'Late Show,' Ending Stephen Colbert's Run After Decades On Air
He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television,” the network said of Colbert, who began hosting the program after Letterman’s retirement in 2015. I don’t know if anything — anything — will repair my trust in this company,” said Colbert during Monday’s monologue. AdvertisementThe network’s move to cancel the show arrives over two years after it ended “The Late Late Show,” a program hosted by James Corden that aired directly after “The Late Show.”Sources told Stelter at the time that the program “was simply not sustainable” as it cost more than it made. Last year, the Colbert-produced “After Midnight” hosted by Taylor Tomlinson took that program’s place on the CBS late-night schedule.

States Sue Trump Administration For Cutting Disaster Prevention Grants
LOADING ERROR LOADINGJuly 16 (Reuters) - A group of 20 mostly Democrat-led U.S. states filed a lawsuit on Wednesday seeking to block the Trump administration from terminating a multibillion-dollar grant program that funds infrastructure upgrades to protect against natural disasters. The lawsuit filed in Boston federal court claims that the Federal Emergency Management Agency lacked the power to cancel the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program in April after it was approved and funded by Congress. “By unilaterally shutting down FEMA’s flagship pre-disaster mitigation program, Defendants have acted unlawfully and violated core separation of powers principles,” said the states, led by Washington and Massachusetts. The funding has been used for evacuation shelters, flood walls and improvements to roads and bridges, among other projects. AdvertisementOver the past four years FEMA has approved roughly $4.5 billion in grants for nearly 2,000 projects, much of which went to coastal states, according to Tuesday’s lawsuit.

Trump Admin Fires 17 Immigration Court Judges, Union Says
WASHINGTON (AP) — Seventeen immigration court judges have been fired in recent days, according to the union that represents them, as the Trump administration pushes forward with its mass deportations of immigrants in the country. “It’s outrageous and against the public interest that at the same time Congress has authorized 800 immigration judges, we are firing large numbers of immigration judges without cause,” said the union’s President Matt Biggs. AdvertisementImmigration court judges are also dealing with a massive backlog of roughly 3.5 million cases that ballooned in recent years. The union said that rather than speeding up the immigration court process, the Justice Department’s firings would actually make the backlogs worse. The union said that it can take as long as a year to recruit, hire and train new immigration court judges.
