Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

Kimmel: "He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now."

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

Tonight’s Jimmy Kimmel monologue was a watershed moment for politics and free speech. He handled it with grace, dignity and humility. The more Trump comes after these people the less popular he will become.

Kimmel is not holding back on Trump at all

OMG. Robert De Niro as Brendan Carr.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

De Niro: "I gotta go. A couple cases of Tylenol fell off a truck and now I gotta figure out how to put autism in them."

Jimmy Kimmel on free speech: "We have to speak out against this stuff. [Trump's] not stopping. And it's not just comedy. He's gunning for our journalists, he's suing them, he's bullying them. They want to pick and choose what the news is."

Jimmy Kimmel: "A government threat to silence a comedian the president doesn't like is anti-American."

“it’s un-American as hell” it me… i’m quoted in Common Dreams today about Trump’s new EO against “Antifa” & against Americans’ lawful right to free speech & the ability to protest their govt🗽

So yesterday Trump designated Antifa terrorists alongside a White House fact sheet on the "radical left" threat. Democratic Leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer haven't said a word about it.

if conservative natalists thought birth rates in America were plummeting before, wait till you see what happens when you take away the only option women have to manage pain during pregnancy. it’ll be like 1K babies born in 2026 all named Tye😭

"Let there be a Palestine, and a people, left to recognise. Let all these (...) declarations help remind us all of what is at stake – not just for Gaza, but for the world’s shared values (...). Please, let it spark the world to action and stop this genocide." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump: "I'm really good at predicting things. During the campaign they had a hat -- a best-selling hat -- 'Trump was right about everything.' And I don't say that in a braggadocios way, but it's true. I've been right about everything."

This isn’t about *Antifa* - whatever that is. Trump’s new EO is written so that anyone protesting against the US govt, ICE or even top politicians can potentially be deemed a terrorist It’s federal weaponization against free speech & the right to protest itself. Period. And it’s un-American as hell

Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money. Which is why boycotts work.

Kimmel wasn’t fired because he said something his bosses didn’t like. Kimmel was fired because the government pressured his bosses over something Trump didn’t like. 

Kimmel should make his first show back all about Jeffrey Epstein

we are all jimmy kimmel, they just created 1 million jimmy kimmels

FUN FACT: Autism was first diagnosed at least 40 years before Tylenol was created.

President Trump on Monday repeated false claims about vaccine safety and called for changes to the childhood immunization schedule, shocking medical leaders and unsettling Republican allies on Capitol Hill. “This is based on what I feel,” Trump said.

Tom Homan took a bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent the right way. by Ezra Klein

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

RELEASE THE HOMAN TAPES!!!

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

The Supreme Court could say the president’s allegedly illegal actions must be put on hold while the Court reviews it. Instead, they repeatedly say Trump’s abuses must be allowed to go forward while in dispute. That’s entirely a choice. There’s no basis in law. Made the opposite call with Biden.

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

Trump in July: "I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.”

Congrats to Jimmy Kimmel for never bending the knee.

“Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t doing politics right.” —Ezra Klein

this is quite genuinely insane, and I want to believe the backlash to this will be severe

House Republicans wouldn’t even let their Democratic colleague finish reading her motion. trib.al/gIK72VX Republicans also moved to table Rep. Crockett’s motion to subpoena records relating to Maxwell’s prison transfer, and Rep. Eric Swalwell’s motion to subpoena Dan Bongino for witness interviews.

Senate Republicans hosted JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon for lunch today. About an hour later, House Republicans blocked efforts to subpoena JPMorgan for information about Jeffrey Epstein. www.politico.com/live-updates... www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

We still want the Epstein files btw

Release the Epstein files!!!

this is a very brave essay by the only Arab fact-checker (ex-fact checker) at The New Yorker about the magazine’s troubling anti-Arab bias & its longtime refusal to call what’s happening in Gaza a genocide. Ibrahim’s piece aligns w/my understanding of Remnick’s & other staffers’ stances. pls read👇

the big moment for me was making ‘All the President’s Men.’ it was not about Watergate or President Nixon. i wanted to focus on something i thought not many people knew about: how do journalists get the story? —Robert Redford (1936-2025),rip💔

Hold on, these are the "we don't have to bake your gay wedding cake" people?

chuck's gotta go, man just can't even pretend to meet the moment we're in, you cannot be out there talking about bipartisan funding for the health care system when the VP is threatening your constituents with loss of employment and freedom for speaking their minds in public

Cato Institute found that ICE has booked 204,297 people, of whom 65% (~133,687 people) had NO criminal convictions. Among detainees with convictions, 93% had no violent convictions. YOU might be their next target, especially if you are a person of color.

donald trump and the white nationalists that run his government want you to think that slavery was just fine www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

For the umpteenth time: Today’s Republican Party does not believe in, and cannot handle, free speech.👇

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.
