New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Look at academia giving me a little hope

The White House is constructing a UFC ring on the south lawn so that they can watch men pummel one another. People are losing healthcare. They can’t afford food. They’re struggling to pay rent. More than half of Americans can’t afford a basic standard of living. Put the money towards helping them

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.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

But how are law enforcement agents going to feel like big boys if they can’t look like this?

EXCLUSIVE: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents, who were posing as business executives, win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

Disney is an unusual company in that a relatively small number of employees are worth a lot of money to them. Pedro Pascal really does have some leverage here. Losing the Mandalorian / Mr. Fantastic is not something they want, and if multiple core franchise pieces take a stand, they have a problem.

Thinking something is “really illegal, personally” doesn’t make it actually illegal.

There goes the First Amendment.

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

My favorite sign of the night.

WaPo: Pentagon says it will require reporters "to pledge they won’t gather any information — even unclassified — that hasn’t been expressly authorized for release and will revoke the press credentials of those who do not obey."

There is no late night television equivalent of Kimmel, Colbert, Meyers, Stewart or Fallon in the dictatorships of North Korea, Russia or China. There’s a reason for that and a lot of Americans need to understand that.

I am proud to be born a Muslim. I am proud to be born in Somalia. I am proud to have become an American. None of you can change that no matter how much you rage tweet. Drink some water and touch grass.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away. We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

ICE continues to assault us. We are peacefully protesting. They are kidnapping and hurting us.

A trend to watch: Trump's second-term judicial nominees are talking about Obergefell v. Hodges in the same stilted way that his first-term nominees talked about Roe v. Wade, which, if you're keeping track, does not exactly bode well for the future of constitutional rights for LGBTQ people

if these companies would just put out a statement saying “we told him to go fuck himself” they would instantly have the type of loyal and dedicated customer base corporations dream of and spend decades trying to cultivate

Is it too early to start calling for Stephen Miller to be tried on charges of crimes against humanity or do we have to wait until the whole 47th administration is charged?

Jimmy Kimmel has 20 million YouTube subscribers and 13.6 billion lifetime video views. This is something that could wake up a lot of people to what is happening.

Over 100 progressive nonprofit groups are joining together to push back against the Trump administration’s recent threats to investigate and dismantle left-leaning organizations in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Today was Constitution Day, ironically.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

Former CDC Director Susan Monarez testified that RFK Jr. told her to only deal with political appointees and to avoid working with career scientists. For the sake of public health, RFK Jr. must resign.

Man, a lot of crazy shit has happened since Epstein’s birthday letter was released a week ago Monday.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Kristi Noem joined ICE in a Chicago raid this morning. Agents blew the doors off a U.S. citizen’s house, handcuffed him, and put him in a propaganda video even after realizing it was a mistake. This is America under Trump. No one is safe.

Tim Walz: "I've been telling people since January it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it is going to come to an end. History is not going to be kind to these people. History is going to remember them for what they're trying to do. It's not what they're going to get done."

Days after Fox’s Brian Kilmeade said “Just kill ’em” about homeless people, two mass shootings hit homeless encampments in Minneapolis. 13 wounded. Four are fighting for their lives.

“This is tragic. It's horrible. It's unacceptable, and, sadly, it's not surprising.” —Mayor Jacob Frey, Minneapolis MN It is horrible to think it’s NOT SURPRISING thanks to the AH Brian Kilmeade. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Would be great if there was a famous actor who wanted to elevate important political stories right now. RIP Robert Redford

This is a fair point.

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

Russia designated the 'LGBT Movement' as a terrorist organisation. They know there is no such group; that's the point. It means they can choose to arrest ANYONE with any association with LGBT issues and treat them as a terrorist. The fact that 'antifa' is not a group should not be a comfort here.

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

Q. Why is there a special election in the Minnesota House tonight? A. Because the Democrat who held the seat was assassinated in June. www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...
