4th deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the others: -in area US military operates freely -arrest low risk -no legal rationale -violates international law -no evidence of who US hit If really traffickers—very much an if—the move is interdiction. Would get evidence and intelligence.

"We are the storm." Stephen Miller out here Q-pilling during Charlie Kirk's memorial service.

Addressing conspiracy theories over the lack of an exit wound in Charlie Kirk, TPUSA's spokesperson likens Kirk to Superman and claims it was his superhuman bone density and skin that prevented the bullet from exiting his neck and injuring others, literally calling him "the man of steel."

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

the best part of that argument is essentially just openly admitting that they want their powerful friend protected from any consequence even if he’s guilty

"We DO NOT CARE"

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...

NEW: This is a story I worked really hard on. I spoke to four American trans people about why they're claiming asylum in Canada or the Netherlands. It's an eye-opening window into just how unsafe people now feel here — and what drove them to that point. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

The FBI used hidden cameras to record Tom Homan taking a $50,000 bribe (in cold, hard cash) last year from undercover agents posing as business executives who Homan promised government contracts in a new Trump administration. The Trump DOJ has now shut down the probe. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

New: The federal probe of Charlie Kirk’s killing has yet to find a link between Tyler Robinson & LW groups, per 3 sources familiar “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

E&C Committee Dems call for an IG investigation of Brendan Carr following the Jimmy Kimmel suspension: "Chairman Carr’s most recent abuse of authority constituted his most transparent act of illegal and unconstitutional censorship to date." democrats-energycommerce.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

National Press Club President Mike Balsamo on the Pentagon demanding reporters sign a pledge that they won't gather information that isn't authorized for release: "This is a direct assault on independent journalism at the very place where independent scrutiny matters most: the U.S. military."

Earlier this week, Sinclair said it would replace "Jimmy Kimmel Live" with a documentary about Charlie Kirk during the Friday time slot that Kimmel occupies on its ABC affiliates. Friday evening, Sinclair pulled the documentary and aired "Celebrity Family Feud" instead.

This appears to be the 3rd lethal US strike in the Caribbean. Once again, the specific "terrorist" entity targeted is not identified. No legal justification is offered for this premeditated killing. President Trump is asserting a license to kill outside of the law. 1/n

The tech bros are gonna love this one.

I cannot emphasize enough how unhelpful it is to make the joke or comment — I’ve been guilty of making it at times myself — that this is conservative “cancel culture,” it’s not. It’s an authoritarian, cultish, censorship project run by the most powerful people in the federal government…

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Ain't no shame in their game

hey so this is insane

This is what we call audience capture.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

Wrong on both counts ! 1) Kimmel said that, over the weekend, the "MAGA gang" was "desperately trying to characterize the kid as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it." And that's true, it's exactly what they were doing.

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

It also took a full day for them to decide to get outraged about it, too. I only started to see Fox News and the MAGA podcasters start raging about it on Tuesday until it reached its fever pitch with Brendan Carr's appearance on Benny's show.

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Folks, I don’t know what end is up right now.

It took no time for ABC to capitulate.

This is an extremely basic point, but one that bears repeating: in a law-governed society, the state cannot simply murder people it has identified as potential criminals. It does not matter if those alleged criminals are foreigners. If you illegally kill people, you have committed murder.

Yesterday, Kennedy was in the token "liberal" seat on The Five. Today, she's sitting in Jeanine Pirro's old seat while Harold Ford Jr. serves as the resident lib.

"I don’t want to be a televangelist."

Trump shouts out George Orwell

Fox News' Will Cain: "That is how Jasmine Crockett uses her time after the murder of a white man -- a big-time political influencer."

The administration is absolutely going to try to force ABC/Disney to fire Jimmy Kimmel. www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...

Nancy Mace, five days ago on CNN: "I have never called one of my colleagues the kind of names that we've been called. I've never dehumanized my colleagues." Nancy Mace, today:

"We have to get them off the streets, and we have to get them off the internet, and we can't let them communicate with each other. I'm all about free speech, but this is a virus, this is a cancer that's spreading across this country." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Looks like over half the country is about to be fired from their jobs...

“I don’t like it,” Fox News' Kennedy said. “Because all it takes is one fishing boat with a broken radio or people who don't speak English and you're killing innocent civilians, and I do not like that.” www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

These people exist in a Whatbout Fairytale in which Trump’s actions are perfectly continuous with those of his predecessors, giving him carte blanche to roll out the most brazenly illiberal agenda imaginable. As my piece shows—Trump is a genuine departure from the past.
