Jimmy Kimmel has returned to his late-night show after a suspension following remarks about Charlie Kirk's killing. Here are seven key moments from his opening monologue.

Reading through many Jimmy Kimmel remarks, including his own. Here's mine: No one ALLOWS YOU to have free speech. In this country, it is a right - not a privilege. Americans are born with that right as embodied in the First Amendment of the Constitution.

Here is what anti-woke is: - Being intolerant - autocratic - Being a rigid thinker - inflexible - Being recalcitrant in one's religious beliefs All elements of fascism. But there is more, much more to know. Wikipedia actually offers excellent information. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definit...

The Buck Stops Here" was a famous saying and desk sign associated with U.S. President Harry S. Truman. Truman popularized the phrase, which is still used today to denote a leader who accepts full accountability and does not pass blame to others. www.trumanlibrary.gov/education/tr...

Thoughts - I have learned in my long life that the measure of a person often shows up when they lose - whether in sports, a bet, a challenge, or in politics. Losing graciously is the mark of good character. It does not mean whining, finger-pointing, or blaming someone else for your loss.

Stop Russia now or Putin will expand Ukraine war 'wider and deeper', Zelensky tells UN. www.bbc.com/news/live/cp...

Thoughts - My complaint remains the same: And I hope @kamalaharris.com reads this: The Democrats were not prepared to lose the election for the presidency last year as evidenced by NO PLAN whatsoever to challenge Trump (on any range of issues). The election itself should have been contested.

Hillary Clinton: "Your economic standing, your wellbeing is directly connected to the abuse of power. How do you hold a president who's abusing power, raising costs, imposing tariffs, raising healthcare costs, how do you hold that president accountable in a midterm? You vote against his party"

Hillary Clinton on the midterms: "When they eliminated the enhanced premium tax credit for the ACA, that hits very soon, in the next 30-60 days. Healthcare costs for million of Americans are going up 75% ... so reality is actually gonna bite ... 'okay, who is in charge now?'"

Hillary Clinton: "When I hear people like Kennedy talking about getting back to a time where we aren't vaccinating, we're drinking raw milk - yeah, & people didn't live! I mean, this is so crazy, it's so wrongheaded, it's so shortsighted and it's going to cause deaths... it already is costing lives"

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong". Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

Met with Australian Ambassador to the U.S. Kevin Rudd and Climate & Energy Minister @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social to strengthen our partnership on climate action and clean energy innovation. Grateful for Australia’s continued support since 2023 to expand collaboration on this critical work.

California and the European Union share a long history of climate collaboration. Today, EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra and I reaffirmed our commitment to strengthen climate cooperation between California and the EU, and to continue working toward our mutual goals.

The Trump administration has taken actions that would eliminate existing protections from about 88 million acres of public lands.

Washington public lands commissioner Dave Upthegrove has announced that the state will conserve 77,000 additional acres of trust-held forest lands, shifting the balance of state trust-land management toward conservation. buff.ly/5ugFyLK

Trump’s labeling of “Antifa” as a domestic terror group makes no sense. But it does put an iconic superhero in the crosshairs of the Justice Department.

No evidence. No science. No solutions.   Just Trump peddling another dangerous lie — this time about Tylenol and autism — that sows chaos, scares parents, and puts our health at risk.

Family members and their lawyers can’t find their loved ones…their clients…

Tuesday could be the hottest day so far this year in Oakland, San Jose and San Francisco — but it won't last long. Here's what to expect in the Bay Area over the coming days.

Questions remain over California's new ban on police officer masks: Will the law hold up in court? And if it does, how will it be enforced?

President Donald Trump's order imposing a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visas for highly skilled foreign workers is almost certain to draw legal challenges, which could set up a battle over the future of the program and the president's powers to bar non-citizens from entering the U.S.

But of course..... he is the agent of chaos who will NEVER take responsibility for ANY of his reckless behavior. 👇

Pritzker: "This is a person who thinks that his personal will should be imposed on the United States. That's not how it works."
