Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Non contested facts, Homan created a consulting business, Homan said he would return under Trump, Homan took a &50k bag off cash from the undercover FBI. There is video and audio. Trump Justice Dept. Closed Investigation Into Tom Homan for Accepting Bag of Cash www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Just re-reading the NYT article on the myth of TACO‘s competence. It’s still absurd and infuriating. www.nytimes.com/2024/09/14/b... #TheWeeknight #Inners #PsakiBriefing

The more I think about this announcement, the pissier I get. How insidious to suggest that women are to blame for causing autism in their children, just like in the old days. As if we aren’t under enough eye-popping scrutiny already when we’re pregnant.

We're all watching the return of Jimmy Kimmel tonight, right? (That is, if we're not subject to the far-right Sinclair & Nexstar's near-monopoly control of our airwaves.) wapo.st/4pwerM9

Fun read. Thank you for gifting access.

“Trump has a shrewd instinct for survival. He must sense that if he does not act now to prevent free and fair elections in 2026, he will lose much of his power—and all of his impunity” @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Coulter Gets "Put In Her Place".....

A fitting memorial to Charlie Kirk

You don't see what you don't look for. Trump ends annual report on U.S. hunger amid rising food insecurity. Stops collecting data on climate change as it worsens. Stops reporting economic data as the economy weakens. Information is the enemy of lies. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

The Disney & ABC boycott is WORKING 🔥 Let’s keep going! We the PEOPLE have the power. Sinclair, the broadcasting company that owns hundreds of ABC affiliate stations, has BACKED OUT of airing a remembrance of Charlie Kirk, posting a YouTube link instead. #BoycottDisneyABC #Sinclair #JimmyKimmel

Wow. Not at all surprising, but wow. Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

While 🇺🇸 farms go under…

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.

The only way this could be more suspect would be if Tom Homan was wearing a little Hamburglar mask as the money was handed to him in a sack with $$$ signs on it.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live" was suspended because Kimmel wanted to address the controversy during his monologue Wednesday evening, and Disney executives felt that would make the situation worse, not better. [Wall Street Journal]

Good! Trump’s federal government is abhorrent and shouldn’t continue being funded in it’s present form. Democrats Block G.O.P. Spending Extension as Shutdown Looms www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u...

"Non-consensual deepfakes of celebrities + others, objectification of women through pornography + social media, sexualization of girls + the distribution of child-sexual-abuse material are old problems Musk’s platform is now directly interfacing with + even producing." What could possibly go wrong?

Just for fun, David Ignatius reminds us that the White House and Hegseth have gutted the Judge Advocate Generals (JAGs) — the military’s lawyers. This is exactly what an administration planning to break laws would do. [gift link] wapo.st/4nHKK9m

The outrage of a no bid contract on autism to an engineering school that doesn't even have a department of epidemiology or neuroscience is only exceeded by the choice of recipient, a data scientist who last published on autism in 2020 and thinks like Wakefield. 🧪 #episky 🧵 apnews.com/article/vacc...
