Prince releases “Purple Rain” as a single 41 years ago today — originally recorded live in Minneapolis, “though at the time we didn’t know that was the plan,” said keyboardist Lisa Coleman. “Prince was really excited and kept pumping us up: ‘We’re making history tonight.’ It all makes sense now.”

NEW: Sinclair, the far-right broadcasting company, says it's ending its pre-emption of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!".

Things are starting to get more interesting. The Epstein estate has turned over another batch of materials to the House Oversight Committee more than 8,000 documents in total, including unredacted calendars, call logs, and cash ledgers.

This does not look good. 😬🙃

So, now we are to pay attention to Comey instead of the coverup of the Epstein files. Too bad Trump just stood beside his beautiful young granddaughter and spewed non-stop hatred. She has that same frozen expression Ivanka has.

It’s amazing that she thinks anyone is buying this

If there were truly JUSTICE IN AMERICA, this felonious shitbag wouldn’t hold the highest office in the land…

The immunity decision (Trump v. US) shook my faith in the law to the core and we are now starting to see the rotten fruit of that historically terrible decision.

CUBAN: “The reddest areas are getting toasted. There are two worlds.” @mcuban.bsky.social tells us Trump’s policies are hurting his own supporters in rural areas, while the rich thrive. Full interview: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMN7mUco/

Well done, Kristi Noem, she who, btw, STILL has not had to publicly answer for the racial profiling policies at DHS that resulted in this disaster. Can no enterprising reporter confront her about this international disaster?

#Pinks #ProudBlue ~ We need more kindness Josh Allen is standing by his words on the passing of Kirk. His original post read: “if you want to be remembered kindly, then speak kindly while you’re still here.” Allen doubled down: “I meant what I said. We need kindness - now more than never.”

I swam Logan and Arrow, trained them for agility and dock diving (Arrow), bathed them, dried them, and played fetch with them. All of that took three hours. They are zonked. I laughed at Logan's grumpy face photo. 😅 He had fun.

UPDATE: Fmr. President Bill Clinton: "I'm worried that we're at risk of losing our freedom of speech, and that the weight of the government is being used to restrict expression from journalism to comedy." "It causes societies to fail when their institutions are all discredited."

This along Brian Kilmeade wanting to lethally inject homeless people. 🫠 What is deeply disturbing is how many Americans are not only okay with watching this type of evilness, but are also in agreement with it. I wonder if they've heard it so repeatedly it just sounds right now? Scary stuff.

Logan/agility this morning/novice jumpers w/weaves course. Logan has done up to masters level courses, but agility has always been his Achilles heel as far as the loud and exciting atmosphere. I still have hope for some agility titles, so onward we forge. He does have one blue ribbon in JWW. /1

My thoughts re the current I.C.E. shooting.

😆🤣😆

We won’t. Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein, Epstein,

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Watching this tonight: www.rottentomatoes.com/m/all_the_pr...

If you think Tylenol is bad for children’s health, wait until you see what guns do.

I can’t even begin to tell you how my former colleagues at US/UN must feel like right now. Trump has turned us into an international punchline, a reckless and dangerous one. An unprecedented embarrassment.

Americas Humiliation World Tour continues…

Today’s walks — I took Logan and Arrow separately and played with Arrow on the tennis courts. They both are on medications, so we aren’t overdoing it today.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

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.

I’m glad Jimmy’s back. But Brendan Carr still needs to resign. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/j...

That’s not exactly a denial…

So the recording show Tom Homan rejecting the money? Wow, I bet they're going to rush to show that to all of us and we're all going to look *pretty* stupid for believing the FBI statement that he took the money as soon as they show that to us, which -- again -- I am certain will happen *very* soon.

Wow 🤩 Dozens & dozens & dozens of Hollywood people signed it! 🥰 #disney #DIS+ @thr.com #jimmykimmel #pinks This is the moment to defend free speech across our nation. We encourage all Americans to join us, along with the ACLU, in the fight to defend & preserve our constitutionally protected rights.

Sickening.

More and more people need to show courage & integrity and stand up to this B.S.

Happening morning here. Arrow ate half of a dog toothbrush. They are pretty long, so about 6” of plastic & bristles. They x-rayed, induced vomiting, gave him an anti-nausea, and he’s quite drunk acting. They also gave us meds to coat his stomach & intestines. He’s also lost 5lbs, so more food.

It's always about him and what a thing to say at a memorial service.

I heard adults laughing about this when I was a child. It’s not one bit funny today!

If Tom Homan did nothing wrong, the Department of Justice should have no issue releasing the Homan files and the video of the alleged bribery to clear this up. And while they’re at it, go ahead and release the Epstein files and clear Trump’s name. Shouldn’t be hard!

MAGA is defending Chief Deportation Officer Tom Homan taking 50k in cash-on video. We are living with the most corrupt administration in American history. BTW, Homan needs to self deport.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Worse, I’m betting that none of this will be the focus of Sunday morning’s news programming. I’m betting that Kirk & Buckingham Palace, with a side of Jimmy Kimmel will dominate the shows.

Trump is and will forever be an asshole.

I love this song. 💗

Journalists who cover the Defense Department at the Pentagon can no longer gather or report information, even if it is unclassified, unless it’s been authorized for release by the government, defense officials announced.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster
