Hint: It is not the Democrats.

Last year, prominent conservatives accused Charlie Kirk of antisemitism. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/15/u...

Donald Trump: Charlie Kirk "did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagree with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don't want the best for them." In 2023, Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden.

Posobiec promoted the bonkers Pizzagate conspiracy that led to violence and wrote a book in which he called liberals “unhuman” and praised right-wing fascist dictators who detained, tortured, and killed leftists. So his theological bona fides are just right for MAGA.

Normal presidents don’t issue verdicts on potential criminal cases. That can compromise the prosecution. Besides, it’s the wrong thing to do.

Kirk himself was not interested in gun reform.

Can it please be before the three hour meeting. I have at work that day?

Did Saint Stephen call for executing a political foe, as Charlie Kirk did with President Biden in 2023?

It says something about Trump’s all-out war on free speech that the New York Times couldn’t find a more credible person than “presidential historian” Craig Shirley to defend it. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/u...

Pro-life, right?

My favorite moment on Twitter was a re-tweet from David Corn & my most perplexing moment was a like from catturd which was probably an accident since I'm not sure he can read!

That’s quite the attitude for a journalist. But then she campaigned for Trump, so….

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...

He has to “act fast” because the statute of limitations for Comey’s testimony expires in like 9 days.

In the early days of Twitter, I enjoyed the back-and-forth with conservatives over issues & politics that was substantive & civil. A good debate is productive. But that's impossible now on X, where rancor & insult rules. I didn't leave Twitter, X left me. Kind of. And Bluesky is a different forum.

Whoa. Totally not surprising, though.

NEW. In the latest issue of my OUR LAND newsletter, I examine this critical question: Who's this "radical left" that Trump keeps threatening to destroy? The answer: Maybe you. link.motherjones.com/public/41648... Sign up for a FREE trial subscription to OUR LAND at davicorn.com.

Just a photo I like.

This piece shows that Elon Musk ain’t that bright or he’s a completely bad-faith actor. Or maybe both.

The FCC has no cause to be "looking at" any news or public affairs programming for its substance. Reagan got rid of the Fairness Doctrine.

A good piece for today.

The NYT is addicted to neutral-sounding language.

In 2023, Charlie Kirk on his podcast said that Joe Biden should be executed. Exactly what Jesus would do, right, Cardinal?

Actually, they are. That’s freedom.

If he had a TV show on ABC, they would have to cancel it, right?

Would be nice to see an interviewer say, “They’re not drugged out. They’re raising a legitimate point. Can you respond to it seriously without schoolyard taunts?” #MediaFantasies

I don’t think he really understands numbers.

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

Charlie Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden in 2023.

That's. Not. The. Point.

NEW: Republicans have advanced a constitutional amendment to basically kill direct democracy in Missouri. Since 2020, citizens have used initiatives to increase minimum wage, expand Medicaid, protect abortion. All those measures would have failed under the GOP rules:

I'd love to see a video of Jimmy Kimmel saying, "I'm NOT going to Disneyland!"

Democracy dies in denial.

Does the propaganda of Sinclair serve the public interest? Where's the investigation there?

The whole idea pushed by conservatives that liberals are censorious and right-wingers are liberty-loving free-speech champions has always been bunk. Go back to McCarthyism. We're now seeing their true colors, with this cancel crusade that's using state power to suppress speech they don't favor.

We all must do our part.

I’m beginning to think he doesn’t really understand numbers.

Since the murder of Charlie Kirk in Utah, the state’s GOP governor, Spencer Cox, has won plaudits for his general moderation. But something crucial is still missing.

They know what they’re doing.

Kirk calling for the execution of Joe Biden would have really impressed Jesus.

Jimmy Kimmel's sudden suspension escalates what @inaeoh.bsky.social warned was a dramatic shift in Trump's ability to take down our actual culture. "The TV, art, movies, music that, no matter how much Trump had complained in his first term, remained protected and free-willed."

Before or after Robert F. Kennedy Jr.?

Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert might have to self-broadcast. On an existing platform or create their own. They already have a scaled-up audience that will be there. No corporate gatekeeper. No autocrat-serving FCC.

Pure politics by hate.

Brendan Carr didn’t get the memo.

Don’t worry. I’m sure once all those anti-cancel culture conservatives hear about this Kimmel thing, they will mobilize their followers and mount a massive boycott of ABC that will force the network to reconsider.

We’re seeing that corporate titans don’t care about authoritarianism. Look at the Big Tech overlords flocking to the White House. Conservatives use to celebrate the supposed link between capitalism and democracy. Not any more.

On Election Night 2020, Trump falsely declared that he had won. Was he taken off the air?

No FBI director has ever behaved like this.
