AOC: It's important to acknowledge who Charlie Kirk was. He was someone who thought that the Civil Rights Act, which granted African Americans the right to vote, was an error. His discourse and convictions were narrow-minded, uninformed, and aimed to deprive millions of Americans of their rights.

Reminder: consume all “former federal prosecutors” on TV very carefully — including me! — because many of us are absolutely dishonest fucking hacks.

Trump’s FCC chair stooge acting like a middle school bully confirming they were lying all along as they distanced themselves from what was always the playbook

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

I have never in my life covered an FCC official that gives less of a fuck about the public interest even first term FCC boss Ajit Pai, who was a complete revolving door hack, believed this sort of censorship crossed a line

Can Jimmy Kimmel sue Brendan Carr, or other federal actors, for violating his First Amendment rights by coercing ABC to suspend his show, and maybe eventually to fire him? To teal deer it, yes, but without an effective remedy. /1

I usually believe in "slow news" and tend to write about things the next day, but this Kimmel shit is such a mess, I put this together quickly. Key points: 1. Most people are pretending Kimmel said stuff he didn't. 2. SCOTUS just last year said that you can't do shit like this.

No it’s really him it’s not me

The Kimmel video: "The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

This is an important time to remember that responsibility is not a zero-sum game — recognizing one person’s fault does not necessarily diminish another person’s. The Trump administration is fascist. And ABC cynically caved and abandoned American values for money. Both are worthy of your contempt.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved
