Jimmy Kimmel:

58 Kentucky hemp farmers sent a letter to Sen. Mitch McConnell urging him not to insert language into a bill to ban certain hemp-derived products. McConnell tried to attached such a provision in a July spending bill, and Congress is now trying to pass a spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.

The defining lesson of this first year of Trump authoritarianism is that kowtowing & capitulating yields zero permanent benefit and only emboldens the admin to come after you more. This critical lesson was first documented in the landmark political science treatise “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.”

Omg did not realize until watching @chrislhayes.bsky.social that ICE had a warrant for four Latino men when they came onsite to the GA plant. So basically they saw a lot of other nonwhite people and just decided to detain them all?? What’s the reasonable suspicion

Farmers in deep-red Pennsylvania are struggling to find workers. They're pushing lawmakers to move faster on a farm labor solution, even as Trump cracks down on immigration. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do," said one farmer and three-time Trump voter.

BREAKING: The FBI field office in Salt Lake City is seeking this person of interest in connection with the Charlie Kirk assassination.

Confusing thing: At a press conference right now, the Utah Dept of Public Safety is directly contradicting Patel's claim below. Instead, officials at the presser are saying a manhunt is still under way and that a suspect in the shooting is *not* in custody (another guy was, but isn't a suspect).

There were initial reports of someone being taken into custody after the Kirk shooting, but NYT is reporting police have said the detainee wasn't the shooter. So we literally know nothing about the shooter and their motives. Any speculation is bullshit, and treat this as a source credibility moment.

I'm just shocked and horrified to learn of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Violence is immoral and never solves anything I've been working all day on a column about the rapidly worsening climate for free speech on college campuses. This is only going to make things 1,000 times worse
