Here’s a free version. It’s well worth reading. Klein has an outsized opinion of himself if he thinks that he needed to write nonsense whitewashing Kirk’s legacy in order to sit in grief with people who mourned his loss. It’s absurd. Coates makes Klein look feckless and uninformed.

Infusing diversity into a country makes for a richer society on many levels. Regrettably here in the US that knowledge has been ruthlessly discarded by the current administration & far too many Americans. Hopefully the UK will not follow the same narrow minded exclusive path that the US is now on.

Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe says he hasn't been contacted "at all" by the FBI about Comey and adds, "if my interactions with Comey was gonna be the basis of this entire prosecution, it's unbelievable that prosecutors wouldn't at least want to sit down and hear what I have to say about it."

As Trump’s trade war rages on into Fall, China still won’t buy American soybeans (assuming farms can even find labor to bring in their crops). But here’s the thing: Farmers aren’t working class. They’re often quite rich, actually. And they knew what they were voting for. trib.al/Z7C9GUR

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

US Rep. Jasmine Crockett warned a crowd at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's "The only immigrant that went around snatching jobs was Elon Musk," the Dallas Democrat said Friday DC.

Portland getting ready ♥️🧶

This week, the US extended a line of credit to Argentina to help with its struggling economy. At the same time, the Argentine government dropped its export taxes. In just 2 days, $7 billion worth of Argentinian beans were purchased by China, ignoring the U.S. stocks already for sale. America first?

Trump breaks the law? Wake me when there's consequences.

The Virginia property marks the sixth Trump golf course to display the presidential seal since 2021—despite federal law prohibiting its use in ways that suggest government endorsement.

Where’s the Bar Association? Why aren’t licenses being revoked?

Democratic officials - what’s the plan when you return to power? How are you going to rebuild and how are you going to hold accountable those who have violated the law and the Constitution? What laws will be put in place so that this never happens again?

Real post on another network:

If you are in the US military, this is your reminder that it is illegal to follow an unlawful order.

Okay. I know that Häagen-Dazs ice cream was always a bit pricey, but this is crazy. This is a "Manager's Special"- $1 off a 14oz container. How come republicans and MAGA aren't talking about the price of groceries now? Trump: "I'll lower grocery prices on Day One." He lied.

Kimmel comes out of the gate with a Tylenol joke

Dear World: a quarter of us voted for him. Most of us disapprove of him. Most of us are embarrassed by him. He does not represent us.

California became the first state to ban most law enforcement officers—including federal immigration agents—from covering their faces while conducting official business, under a bill that was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom. If you ask me, EVERY blue state should do this! Who agrees? ✋

If the GOP want to continue down their current path (Deport Omar! Deport Mamdani!), then Dems need to start calling for the denaturalization & deportation of Melania, fight fire with fire - plus there are far more unanswered questions about her immigration to the US than either Mamdani or Omar.

I’m not taking medical advice from a man who can’t pronounce an over-the-counter drug…

Voters in southwest Arizona are highly likely to elect a new Democratic House member in a special election today. That would-be lawmaker plans to become the 218th and clinching supporter of a bipartisan effort to force public disclosure of federal investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos. Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel. That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

We don't bow. We don't kneel. In America, we decide, not dictators. No thrones. No crowns. #NoKings social.demcast.com/s/P3H7hIWG

Hours after we sent a letter signed by over 450 artists and 40K others defending free speech, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel will return to air. Other companies should heed this warning: We the people are watching.

In cities like LA the real story is: “the rent is too damn high.” Every day you’ll see rows of campers lining the roads. Some are so broken down you know they can’t even move. These are people down on their luck, stuck in a system that keeps kicking them while they’re already down.

Heroin ✅ Tylenol ❌

Trump hyped a huge autism announcement for months then followed through today with a press conference where his brain leaked out of his ears for an hour while he couldn't pronounce "acetaminophen" and yelled "DON'T TAKE ASPIRIN" over and over. Congratulations, America.

What a moron. Imagine if Biden did this.

Six days ago, the Trump administration strong-armed ABC and Disney into suspending Jimmy Kimmel. Thousands of Americans spoke out to protest this blatant attack on free speech, and now Kimmel will return to television tomorrow. Never doubt the power of collective action.

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

Kamala Harris: He had no plan for actually bringing down costs and prices for the American people. He had very few plans for what he would actually do that was about the American people, and not his vengeance on his enemies.

Republicans control the House, Senate, the Supreme Court, and the Presidency.

No one could have done a better job running for president in just 2½ months than VP Kamala Harris. No one. See what she was up against straight out of the gate? Friends and frenemies…

Speaker after speaker at this memorial is explicitly likening him to Jesus Christ. (Slain in early 30s, etc.) Don't know how this goes over with people raised in other faiths. Having been raised as a church-going Protestant Christian, I say: What the hell! This is not how Christians talk.

Murphy continues to be a really clear voice
