Political violence is not acceptable. All of us have a responsibility to say that as many times as it takes. It is utterly irresponsible for a prominent conservative outlet to publish an explicit call to violence. Everyone should disavow this, publicly and immediately.

Mother of God. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

A federal judge appointed by President Biden has been assigned James Comey’s criminal case. US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff was confirmed to the bench with three Republican votes including Senator Lindsey Graham.

Republicans control Congress and the White House. THEY planted a ticking time bomb that could kick millions off their health care. We’re trying to defuse it, but they’re threatening a government shutdown instead—while demanding a blank check for Trump. That's what's happening.

Given the popularity of Jimmy Kimmel’s show in the Seattle market, Sinclair’s decision not to reinstate the program appears contrary to the inherently local aspects of its station licenses. I urged Sinclair to return the show to KOMO-TV.

HOLY SHIT

He’s right to say it, and he’s right to say it *now*. But this isn’t doomerism. Trump has not already stolen the 2026 elections. He has not already consolidated power. He couldn’t even get a comedian fired. We can, and therefore must, continue to exercise our rights defiantly.

I can’t tell you exactly how I know but after sixty years in and around politics I’ve developed a sixth sense, and my sixth sense tells me the tide is now turning on Trump. This past week did it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleeping-giant-is-awakening

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

Nowhere in this long rambling answer does he deny taking the bag with $50,000. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Sinclair in Seattle is KOMO. Contact and publicize their advertisers!

Thanks to replies, adding two I somehow forgot: Steven Cheung, 43 Emil Bove, 44

OLIVER: “I’d argue @disney & Bob Iger need to stand by @jimmykimmel and his staff — history is also going to remember the cowards who knew better. Giving the bully your lunch money doesn’t make him go away, it just makes him come back hungrier each time.” 🎯

Trump’s FCC is trying to cancel The View after celebrating Jimmy Kimmel’s takedown. This is a corrupt, unconstitutional assault on free speech. I’m demanding FCC Chair Brendan Carr resign & Congress subpoena him so he can explain his violations of his oath to the Constitution.

Donald is scared of comedians cuz they’re meanie heads

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."

Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air. He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone. Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

They're facing backlash and immense pressure from all sides. They start fires when they think they can control the destruction. But one blow of the wind and that fire spreads back onto them. They can't put out every fire they've created. Not with a podcast.

No notes

Brilliant move. Facts don’t care about your feelings GOP. ALL extremist-related murders in 2024 were committed by right-wing extremists of various kinds… 3rd year in a row that right-wing extremists have been connected to all identified extremist-related killings. www.adl.org/resources/re...

A couple of weeks ago, Big Tech billionaires and wealthy CEOs flocked to the White House to praise Trump. In return for their loyalty, donations to Trump’s campaigns, and purchases of his crypto scam, he's giving them massive handouts. Trump is a president for the billionaires, not us.

Interesting polling data: Those with unfavorable views of Donald Trump are the LEAST LIKELY to support political violence.

People like Stephen King are getting caught in Kirk's deceit. He didn't say gays should be stoned. He said Biblical law requiring gays to be stoned was "God's perfect law." He didn't say it explicitly, but implicitly, and everyone understood his meaning, especially that he was being deceitful.

Stuart Stevens; "Whatever is in Brett Kavanaugh’s heart doesn’t really matter. It’s the evil that he has sanctioned that does. He should be ashamed. But I suspect shame is a foreign country that Brett Kavanaugh will never visit."

Is she talking to Groypers? Because dems just want her to have good health care.

America’s checks and balances aren’t working — Republicans in Congress are completely beholden to Donald Trump and the Supreme Court has been bought out by right-wing billionaires. It is on us, the people, to use our power and protect our rights.

“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...

@jayapal.house.gov Let's get loud and stop this!

I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed. Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing. Both sides!

Second: Here's where Singman probably got her cockamamie idea: from (deliberately?) misreading a TikTok from two years ago where said roomie is mocking a chat filter because it mistook his hoodie for long hair (a common problem with this and other chat filters). And now you know. -Finis-

WWJD? Not what Kilmeade said on Foxnews

Why does he still have a job? He is calling for mass murder? Where is the outrage?

Nice to see Matthew Dowd trending here, with everyone agreeing that @msnbc.com were fools and cowards to fire him for stating the obvious. I’ve deleted their app and hope he finds a new gig soon, I’ll follow 👍🏼

Despite the fiction that Comcast and MSNBC execs are pushing, here is actually what happened prior to my termination at MSNBC: open.substack.com/pub/matthewd...

Extremist murders by ideology, 2013 to 2022. www.pbump.net/o/reassessin...

I don't know who needs to hear this but Kirk never advocated for debate. Public discourse, yes. Debate, no. Debates are moderated/mediated and have established rules. Public discourse has many forms, one is a debate. Another form is just yelling at each other.

This is an archived government report that found that “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists.” It existed yesterday and is gone today.

Read every word of this. Millions of Californians can now be profiled by the color of their skin and the language they speak, thanks to the Supreme Court. This is not the slippery slope. We are already on the slide towards dictatorship.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

Wow, wait until @stephenm discovers this *left wing* organization advocating mass killing. Glad Stephen and Laura are calling for outlets like this to be defunded. Bring on the IRS investigation!!!
