Unsurprising

There is absolutely zero need for this costly show of militarized force in Portland. 📌 Armored vehicles with federal agents arrived at the federal building in Portland.

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.

I understand bailing out farmers who suffered some sort of natural disaster or blight to their crops from a parasite, disease, etc. But that’s not what is happening. They can’t sell their abundant crops because of one man. Trump did it, he can pay the farmers out of his crypto.

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

The Clown Show at the Pentagon continues.

BREAKING: Sinclair to bring Jimmy Kimmel back this evening.

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.

Concerning …

BREAKING: Sinclair FOLDS and ends its preemption of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show will return tonight on Sinclair's ABC affiliates.

Navarro: And I think some of the liberals, some of the left wing Democratic podcasts are doing much better now. MeidasTouch is actually outdoing some of the right wing ones that used to be number one

They don't plan on giving up power. Because that's who they are.

I honestly don’t care about James Comey. But I want to live in a democratic republic. His indictment proves we live in a banana republic, where the autocrat personally orders indictments of his political enemies, and when his own officials refuse he finds new ones that will.

Two point on Tuesday's Quantico conclave of the generals: 1. Surely Trump will be featured. Hegseth will be the undercard. 2. The point will be to showcase Trump's power. It won't be to convince the generals of anything. The point will be a propaganda spectacle for their troops and the public.

Swalwell: It's an awful day for what's supposed to be a free country. This is a mad king picking off each of his political enemies.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Happy Friendship Month! It’s Wednesday. There are 405 days until the midterm elections. The president craps himself at the UN, a big win in Arizona and a great night for the First Amendment.

To leaders around the world: California is your stable and reliable partner in fighting the climate crisis and protecting our environment.

It seems to me that leaking, "Jim Comey will be indicted," before he is indicted, is a 6(e) violation. Not that I want MSNBC's sources harassed. But add it to the list of things Comey can complain about, if this actually does get indicted.

The full 28-minute Jimmy Kimmel monologue. Please share.

As I was saying…

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “The common denominator is young men, usually white, with access to guns, carrying out these tragedies.” As Jessica points out killers are writing nihilistic jokes on bullets, Gutfeld claims right-wing violence doesn’t happen (false) & downplays studies.

I can't believe MSNBC is falling for this "anti-ice" on the bullet thing. The shooter's brother says he wasn't political and didn't have strong feelings about ICE. Where's the scrutiny?

Congratulations to @jimmykimmel.com on his triumphant return! Last night he was pitch-perfect. Inspirational, self-reflective, gracious to his haters, championing the 1st Amendment & most importantly: FUNNY. (Shout-out to Robert DeNiro as the mob-boss head of the FCC)😆

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...

Kimmel: "Can you imagine? This country has become so authoritarian the Germans are like, 'Come here'"

Kimmel: “This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

“An escalator can never break down. It can only become stairs. You’ll never see an escalator out of order sign. Just escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.” - Mitch Hedberg

No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

So embarrassing

Good morning. Nobody 3.5 year ago ever imagined that not only would Russia NOT have air superiority over Ukraine, but that Ukraine would be able to bomb Russian targets in Russia almost without intercept. Russia is failing

Karen wants to speak to the manager of the UN.

Hillary Clinton on the midterms: "When they eliminated the enhanced premium tax credit for the ACA, that hits very soon, in the next 30-60 days. Healthcare costs for million of Americans are going up 75% ... so reality is actually gonna bite ... 'okay, who is in charge now?'"

❤️🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp

Trump to low-income seniors: Screw you!

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Kimmel: "He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now."

Hillary Clinton: "Good lord -- the things that have been said about me, the lies that have been propagated. If I had only known I could call up the FCC chair and say, 'Take this person off the air! Off with his head!' You have to laugh about it so you don't cry."

KIMMEL: “He’s gunning for our journalists too — they want to pick and choose what the news is… it’s so important to have a free press, and it’s nuts we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

It’s critical that we support the arts…🏆

Kimmel: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this."

Jimmy Kimmel: “Maybe most of all, I want to thank the people who don’t support my show and what I believe, but support my right to share those beliefs anyway. People I never would have imagined, like Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis, Candace Owens, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul. Even my old pal Ted Cruz.”
