They aired a Steve Harvey hosted Family Feud rerun instead. So far the Kirk special has under 2500 views on YouTube (views as a metric on YT are worth about 2% of a broadcast viewer). So someone flinched here and I am *very* curious to find out who and why.

NEWS --> Anna Gomez, the lone Dem on the FCC, tells me the Trump admin's pressure to oust Jimmy Kimmel may be unlawful as well as unconstitutional. FCC chair Brendan Carr may be committing censorship in violation of federal law. That and much more in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Larry Ellison, a major stakeholder in CBS and Paramount, now has CNN, HBO and a major share of TikTok in his sights, William Cohan writes. If all goes as expected, Ellison is poised “to become one of the most powerful media and entertainment moguls America has ever seen.”

Charlie Kirk is a means to an end: defector.com/charlie-kirk...

Conservatives are baselessly targeting trans people in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death. Ex-WH physician turned Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) called gender non-conforming people a “virus” and said they need to be institutionalized and barred from the internet. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/texas-c...

NEW: As supporters of Charlie Kirk gathered for vigils, many framed Kirk—a right-wing activist—as a religious leader. Some claimed his death was spurring people to convert to Christianity. Meanwhile, other faith leaders were vocally critical of Kirk's past comments. religionnews.com/2025/09/16/a...

Awesome way to insert random gross factual errors/future lawsuits into your copy 👍

This is a bad idea for all the obvious reasons of, like, integrity and craft. But it’s also a bad idea because instead of just writing the thing yourself, you are instead letting the Convincing Lie Machine see if it can trick you into getting fired because you didn’t fact check every single word

Sounds like a great way to have the left-leaning user base abandon the app

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

my favorite robert redford story is that mike nichols considered him for dustin hoffman's part in THE GRADUATE. during their conversation nichols asked redford something like, "have you ever struck out with a girl?" and redford's response was basically, "i don't understand the question"

This is a morph cut. It's actually in Adobe Premiere, and it attempts to blend footage together in a more seamless fashion. Likely, he messed up during that take, and they didn't want him to start from the top or have a jump cut. It's sloppy and ugly, but that's the Trump Presidency for you.

The commonwealth has emerged as a hub for abortion care in the South. A proposed constitutional amendment could lock in that role for years to come.

Mamdani’s allies' message for top New York Dems as Trump works to block his path to City Hall: Get off the sidelines. Now. The pressure is on for Hochul, Schumer and Jeffries to publicly endorse Mamdani as their party's mayoral nominee.

NEW: Trump's nominee to run the Bureau of Labor Statistics ran an anonymous Twitter account filled with sexually degrading attacks on Kamala Harris, anti-gay slurs, and far-right conspiracy theories. www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/p...

Mamdani: Why should I debate Trump's puppet when I could debate Trump himself? If Trump is serious about this, he should come to New York City. We can have as many debates as he wants about why he is cutting snap benefits for hungry New Yorkers just to fund tax cuts for his billionaire donors

People who come to DC to serve are the most likely to have multiple principal residences (that's the terminology, not primary) & it is perfectly legal for them to do so. It's just as legal for Lisa Cook to have a principal residence during the school year & one for the summer.

Zohran Mamdani has raised enough money to hit the $8 million fund-raising cap for the New York City mayoral election, his campaign said today. He will announce the achievement in a video this morning, thanking supporters and asking them to consider donating time to his campaign rather than money.
