Chicago - no kings

This👇👏👏

We've all heard that there is no free lunch. Well, guess what? There is no free 747 either.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: In a huge blow to Kristi Noem, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson just signed an order to create "ICE-FREE ZONES" throughout the city: "We will rein in this out of control administration.” Chicago is using every power at their disposal to FREEZE ICE.

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

If you are not a California resident, but you want to help protect our democracy, you can donate to Yes on Prop 50 here:

The 2026 midterms won’t matter if we don’t win this one — That is why California must vote Yes on Prop 50.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

many countries are still assessing impact of new H1B visa fee, initial reactions varied. India, which is most affected, expressed diplomatic concern, while tech competitors like Canada may benefit from displaced talent. Some countries have taken a more cautious approach, waiting to see full effect.

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.

Malcolm is 100% right. This is a setup to call any dissent "terrorism."

They aren’t responding to their viewers, they are reacting to government threats and intimidation.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

Nearly two months following his death by drowning, Malcolm Jamal Warner's widow, Tenisha Warner, announced the launch of the Warner Family Foundation which offers scholarships for young artists. tinyl.co/3hZN

Charlie Kirk, white. Suspected shooter, white. White people, calling in threats to *checks notes*…HBCUs.

Jules, this is Brian. Listen, I'm on an airplane that's been hijacked. If things don't go well, and it's not looking good, I just want you to know I absolutely love you. I want you to do good, go have good times. Same to my parents and everybody, and I just totally love you, and I'll see you when ..

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.

“I didn’t write it” when his signature matches many others, and he gave leniency to the only woman who could corroborate that he sent it to her, isn’t very convincing.

👀Wow, this photo of Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders giving a speech while literally leaving students out in the rain behind her is getting a lot of attention. Perfectly symbolic of conservatives in America, leaving your kids out in the rain.

We now live in a country where leadership feels like satire: a felon president, corrupt officials, and institutions in ruins. This isn’t governance—it’s chaos wrapped in power. The real question isn’t just what happened—it’s whether we still have the will to reclaim what we lost.

On this day in 1956, mobs of white citizens blocked Mansfield High School to prevent Black children from registering. The mob also burned a Black effigy at the top of the school’s flagpole.

Let that sink in.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

BREAKING: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore just announced he refuses to authorize National Guard deployment in Maryland. 🧵

Imagine not voting for Kamala Harris because eggs were too expensive only to end up with everything being more expensive, losing your health insurance, the military in your neighborhood and a geriatric president ranting about ending 10 wars.

I just had to look this up. Scores of casual eateries have changed their logos--several times. Red Robin, Friendly's & Ruby Tuesday are among them. The same can be said for fast food restaurants like McDonald's. The world isn't going to end because #CrackerBarrel streamlined its design.

We don't NEED the #EpsteinFiles, all we have to do is belive his victims.

Teaching abt slavery doesn’t make America look horrible—slavery itself is what made America look horrible. Museums just have the receipts. johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/yes-he-hat...

I really want to ask if this is Photoshopped, but I know better since Trump's taste is a lot to be desired.

The biggest thing about this DC power grab is tRump is in the Epstein files.

Trump has never addressed the Epstein-Maxwell survivors. There are only three possible reasons for this: • Trump has ZERO empathy. • Trump's a perp. • Both.

There was an actual tapestry. Inside the original double album cover is an image of the needlepoint I worked on when I wasn't playing or singing. You can see where I stitched the words "thank you" before I gave it to Lou. From "A Natural Woman" Photo by Jim McCrary Courtesy Lou Adler / Ode Records

Drowned out: While Texans beg for help, the GOP redraws the map to cheat. The purpose of the special session wasn’t about flood relief. It was about stealing elections. Let me make it plain: Over 100 dead. Flood victims plead for help. Republicans were busy rigging maps for Trump.

Seems like these guys are really, REALLY bad at their jobs.

Leavitt & her boss need to read up on the process. The deadline for submitting nominations for the 2025 Nobel Prizes was January 31, 2025. This deadline applies to all Nobel Prizes, including the Nobel Peace Prize. 2026 nominations begin in September. The prizes are awarded annually on Dec. 10.

Fancy Fixins: Hillbilly Makes Millionaire Shortbread

Kamala Harris will be a guest on Late Night with Stephen tonight. (Thursday, July 31.)

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

"I'm allowed to do it," he says with regard to pardoning Maxwell. As if he doesn't already defy laws to keep him in check and court rulings that are not in his favor.

There's a banner flying over the federal courthouse in Tallahassee — where Trump's Deputy AG is meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell — that reads, "Trump and Bondi are protecting predators".
