Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Northern lights tonight up along the Gunflint Trail

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

My President…

Know your rights

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

Everyone asking who has ever seen bags of cash for payoffs has forgotten #Watergate. Bags of hush money to keep the burglars from saying that the White House and CREEP were involved were left at a phone booth in one of their attys. And a plane crashed with a defendant’s wife with a purse full of $.

@timmiller.bsky.social on Trump attacks on free speech: “It's a good sign that we've seen some pushback from within his coalition on this.”

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.

Pants on fire you tiresome chode

🚨 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 For the next month, we're doing an experiment: live-streaming as a core campaign strategy. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday, I'll be streaming with guests, games, and (of course) my cat, Heater. And if this works, we'll keep doing it. Join us tomorrow, 7 PM CT.

And I have every right to be upset that people voted that fuck ass in because look at all the hard work they ruined?????? America and people adjacent with this country will have zero credibility in the future.

Food Insecurity? Let’s call it what it really is, hunger. Food insecurity is a term that attempts to downplay or whitewash the problem. 14 million children in the US lack consistent access to enough food. Who comes up with these terms? People that have never experienced hunger a day in their life

I hope the real truth comes out. This was NOT a suicide.

The incomparable Willie Nelson, an absolute legend playing at the annual Farm Aid concert they he founded 40 years ago! The man is 92 and he didn’t go on until midnight…and played a full hour!

Kimmel’s fighting back against The Orange Oaf!

Stephen Colbert is all in: He plays the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel suspended. You love to see it.

In a video shared to Twitter, ICE is shown throwing congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social to the ground

Eighteen hundred men went behind those fences. Today, only six hundred can be found. That means over 1,200 human beings are simply gone... Not relocated. Not released. Not deported with paperwork. Just gone. open.substack.com/pub/dissenti...

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.

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time. Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles. #StandWithTheSurvivors

A picture is worth a thousand words…

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

@ericswalwell.bsky.social on Kimmel: “That’s what it looks like in China, that’s what it looks like in Russia, that can’t be what it looks like in America”

Rep. Frost: "We cannot let the fear of speaking out become normal. We cannot allow truth telling to become a crime. And we cannot let them silence us."

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Rep. Greg Caser: " If Watergate happened today, would our biggest news outlets be allowed to run the story? Or would a billionaire owner decide that crossing the administration just isn't worth it for his bottom line?"

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Exactly this

I’m sending so much love out to all who are having a rough day! Thanks Allie💜 Glad you’re here🌈 @allie-froglegs.bsky.social @dpfrazier22.bsky.social @oneveteransoath.substack.com @rebelb1ue.bsky.social @suzzisulli.bsky.social @healingnation.bsky.social @lavegannative.bsky.social Goodnight 🌙

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

I very much agree on this topic with the worst people out there — but here we are www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

What happened yesterday at the WH was an INTERVENTION, but TACO and his minions are too stupid to understand that. They think the global leaders came here to cheer and listen to that asshole. They came her to CONTAIN him.

If anyone needs me, I’ll be here! Seriously spending the night next to this beautiful lake is magical…and it’s an integral part of my strategy to survive authoritarianism here in America.

COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to? HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.

It’s time to get ruthless🔥 If California holds a special election on redistricting, I’m voting “yes” for new maps. And I promise you I’m bringing friends and family with me to vote. The Supreme Court already made it clear it’s fine with gerrymandering. So screw it. LFG.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

There are so many times this nightmare should’ve been over, but I’ll never get how inciting a violent coup on J6 didn’t lead to a prison term post haste. That fucker should’ve been yanked by the lapels out of the White House, handcuffed, and hauled away that day. Everyone knew he was responsible.
