Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Another hell yeah to a powerful woman stepping up.

This is what unity looks like.

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...

Anyone have Sinclair or Nexstar in your area? Do contact them and let them know how offensive you find their efforts to suppress free speech.

Hell yeah

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

With no agreement in sight to fully fund our Medicaid program, the General Assembly is putting politics ahead of people. It’s past time they come together and protect North Carolinians’ health care access.

Hours after we sent a letter signed by over 450 artists and 40K others defending free speech, ABC announced Jimmy Kimmel will return to air. Other companies should heed this warning: We the people are watching.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

This is what I don’t understand. What power do we have if we never go back? (What are Target’s policies now? IDK, because they didn’t reverse their decisions so I never went back.)

ICYMI: Utahns will have fair districts when they go to the polls next year, and could have an additional seat in Congress after the state’s highest court struck down Utah’s gerrymandered congressional map. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I just learned this *TODAY* while watching back eps of #HaveIGotNewsForYou ... And again I thought about how a lot of people get current events news FROM news-satire/talk/late night shows. And that they know that.

Taking the opportunity to watch this again, because it's a love-fest, a thank you, and a mission statement. Kimmel gets choked up several times, including when he acknowledges Guillermo. Glad that Disney did the right thing on this.

Disney has backed down, but there's no evidence that Sinclair or Nexstar have learned their lesson. If you haven't already done so, check the links in the thread below for stations in your area. Find the advertisers and let them know you're boycotting them until they remove ads from these stations.

Breaking: Jimmy Kimmel to return Tuesday.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Don't apologise for your dog showing up during the Zoom, apologise for hiding him all this time

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Trump crushing free speech is a genuine emergency and so is invading blue cities, but good for O'Donnell for tying the two together. These abuses can still be distraction tactics. That's how wagging the dog works. The tail is trivial compared to the dog, but it's driving.

Re Kimmel, it's important that Disney has left itself an out--it is a "suspension," not a cancellation or firing. What happens in the next two days--reaction within the company but also in the press, in the industry, in Washington, among consumers, and on social media--may affect how this plays out.

Important for when you cancel Disney/Hulu:

Here’s a great example of a message you can leave!

Day by day, we are learning how many “leading” organizations will sell out us and our democracy to save themselves. I can only hope millions of Americans are now grasping the danger that only collective action can stem.

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

I really love him for this and a bunch of other reasons. (This is similar to the most moving story I recall from Angela Lansbury’s death — that the guest stars were often old working actors who needed the hours to keep their insurance.) PS: Medicare for all; protect Medicare.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

What would be interesting to read today is a smart cultural critic with a deep knowledge of TV & a firm grasp on the context of not just today's events but Hollywood history! OH WAIT you fired Sepinwall @rollingstone.com ah well, who could have foreseen that such expertise would ever be useful

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

Earlier today I was going to post about what a mensch @jimmykimmel.com was for putting up a billboard in support of Stephen Colbert’s show for Emmy consideration. And now this. 💔

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

my heart ❤️

Apparently, the only thing that Americans agree upon is: Release the Epstein Files.

Pulitzer Feeling Increasingly Out Of Place In Washington Post Office

#Emmys2025 Cristin Milioti (who looks lovely) is wearing one of the dresses that looks like a Trapper Keeper is shoved down the front. I didn’t know this was such a thing! She also gave one of the first speeches this hour that was interesting and not just panicked clock-watching and speed-talking.

#Emmys2025 Oh, so theme songs aren’t a running bit? That Golden Girls thing was just a one-off?

This Emmys money/speech time nonsense is really terrible. CBS is quite happy to be state television.

#Emmys2025 Will always think of these two as having a “No More Stealing Cars” tattoo on the one hand, and wearing a poncho when visiting Ben and Leslie’s house full of toddlers on the other.

#Emmys2025 I gotta say, I generally don’t like having people host things (or govern things) when they are generally indifferent or even contemptuous of the given institution. Though I did love this bit … Maybe the difference is they were at least *pretending* to be fans? youtu.be/XDvZrubaEwA?...

#Emmys2025 I know Andor is great, but hearing “Dan …” called was disappointing. Wanted my favorite hamburger waiter / door carpenter to win for #Severance.

#Emmys2025 I was trying to take a break from literally everything else in my feed, but thinking that this acceptance speech limiting stuff is just CBS pulling more bullshit … sigh.

#Emmys2025 Did JLG and Ben Stiller split the vote for #Severance? Can’t believe one of them didn’t win for best director.

I *already* couldn’t love her (and everyone who makes #Severance) more, and then this:

#Emmys2025 Really surprised that the people around Nate Bargatze didn’t stop him from doing this. It’s just so weirdly mean to dangle an amount of money in front of a children’s charity and frame its remove as punishment to actors and TV creators who have … nothing to do with this stunt?

#Emmys2025 Jeff Hiller!!! I cried so much in his scenes in the crazily underrated #SomebodySomewhere … Nice surprise win!
