Jimmy Kimmel’s “as I was saying” opener wasn’t random it’s a callback to Jack Paar. In 1960 Paar walked off The Tonight Show after NBC cut a mild “WC” joke. 3 weeks later he returned, opening with the same line. He nodded to one of late night’s boldest moments. Brilliant bsky.app/profile/ever...

Great work Timothy Burke! (@bubbaprog.xyz) Some weak 'reporting' by these few stations that they would not air Kimmel....but reporting none the less. (Poor WTEN anchor- I felt like he wanted to smirk, roll his eyes and wink. But then he'd probably be suspended.)

Repeal the telecommunications act of 1996 and let’s smash some monopolies. We need goals once we defeat this fascist Fever dream.

In case your local Sinclair or Nexstar (🖕🏽) owned station didn't air Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight, here it is on the show's YouTube channel. youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

Dear #Nexstar and #Sinclair advertisers: If you REALLY want to make waves and raise your profile, release a statement that you are defenders of the 1st Amendment and will not advertise on their affiliate stations until they air #JimmyKimmel. Because as you know, this ISN'T about Jimmy.

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

And there are still people who will argue that this isn't racist at all.

During the UN General Assembly, Russia continued attacking Ukraine. 16 explosions in Kharkiv, most of them in one area of the city. Blackouts reported. Russian drones are in Ukrainian airspace now, no doubt flying to attack Ukrainian civilian infrastructure.

So, Trump and the Republicans totally own the impending government shutdown now.

My friend in D.C. just texted me (I’m in AZ) that they didn’t air Jimmy Kimmel there. Sinclair🤬 She said they are airing a show called National News Desk and they were covering Turning Point. She said they just showed a commercial to join ICE. FVCKING DICTATORS! Please share.

As I was saying…

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you have an elderly grandparent who needs care? So do I. Do you struggle to afford the high price of everything? So do I. Do you know what it means to carry the weight of medical debt? So do I. You’re on my team — and I’m on yours.

In a sane world, there’d be a family intervention and deployment of the 25th amendment.

LOOK at what they do Trump and Republicans want to spend on extreme immigration policies that benefit For-profit detention companies while taking away healthcare from millions and raising healthcare costs for millions These are not my priorities Are they yours?

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

I am proud to be running alongside leaders like Michelle Wu, Zohran Mamdani, Omar Fateh, and others across the country who share a vision for affordability, reliable public transit, and affordable, abundant housing. Together, we can show the path forward for our country. Join our campaign today!

It's been a tough year, culminating in the passing of my dear wife, she left us peacefully in her sleep on Friday. Rest in peace sweetheart.

Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

FCC chair doubles down on Jimmy Kimmel hours before show set to return www.rawstory.com/jimmy-kimmel...

That's a mouthful of truth

😕

Nexstar made a deal to acquire broadcast conglomerate Tegna in a $6.2 billion deal, which will require government approval. They’re continuing to refuse to air Kimmel.

Here's the reply he mistakenly sent every journalist on the list. And here's a piece he wrote about how he pitches PR reps when they send him press releases (though he doesn't disclose in this that they have to pay for him to publish Q&As with their clients) www.lastwatchdog.com/my-take-the-...

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

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"

So true.

Pritzker: "MAGA Republicans in Congress may be in control now, but in 2026 they will not be unless Donald Trump does something to change this country fundamentally. And that is what he's trying to do ... we Democrats are going to win in 2026, but not if Donald Trump is allowed to cheat."

I know we've worked hard to move history ed away from names and dates but I think we might need to swing back to chronology a bit because "who was president on january 8 2021?" and "which came first, the clinical description of autism or tylenol?" shouldn't be this hard, especially for reporters.

NEW: We released a report exposing how U.S. prisons are failing to keep up with the rising number of aging people behind bars. Prisons were never designed to serve as makeshift nursing homes, yet that’s exactly what they’ve become.

The biggest problem we face—give him an inch and he takes miles. He wants control over independent agencies, with no insulation from his influence. No regulatory or enforcement oversight functions. SCOTUS overturning this decision would be dismantling of oversight under law and the Constitution.
