Odd, how we can’t afford to give Americans healthcare, but we can afford to drop $200,000,000,000 on Argentina with a moment’s notice.

It was brilliant, touching, hilarious, and magnanimously even paid respect and thanks to his political critics who also stand up for free speech. Something totally beyond the ability and inclination of Resident Rump.

I know what l'm doing at 11:30 pm tonight: turning on ABC to see if they're airing Jimmy Kimmel Live. If they DON'T, I'll note of every commercial that's run & I will boycott every single advertiser. If they DO air Kimmel, I will make a note of every commercial and I will SUPPORT those advertisers.

One more thing for the conversation. I'd suggest you look at this chart that measures Media bias, I find it helpful: adfontesmedia.com/cautious-tv-...

Republicans control the WH, the House & the Senate, but Trump’s forgetting that they need 60 votes in the Senate to avoid a shutdown. They can’t do it w/out Democrats. Rank-and-file Dems are in no mood to watch Schumer or any Democrat give the game away w/out getting anything major in return—again.

This is good.

Scoop: Mills "likely" to run for Senate to try to defeat Susan Collins, the only GOP senator representing a state carried by Kamala Harris in 2024.

People who can't accept who they are often overcompensate by attacking people who can.

When will we figure this out? There are about 1000 Billionaires and about 340,000,000 of the rest of us. We out number them but they keep eating our lunch. And calling them "earners" is a stretch.

Sen. Maria Cantwell, Ranking Member of the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the FCC: "Chairman Brendan Carr does not have the authority to police speech that he or the President don't personally like. Especially when there is a pending merger with the affected parties in front of the FCC."

It's not about Jimmy Kimmel. It wasn't about Colbert. It wasn't about the CBS interview with Kamala Harris or George Stephanopoulos, either. Trump is finally coming out with it. Don't make him look bad. Or even joke about it. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

We no longer have a Department of Justice that we can count on to investigate this honestly, if they decide to investigate it at all.

Polio was a deadly scourge when I was a kid. I was one of the first to get the vaccine. I had mumps and measles which were dangerous but for me, just miserable. This explains how vaccines work and why it's important to trust science. Please share. It might help. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Znms...

James Talarico leaves Fox News host speechless

not a surprise. game knows game.

The real emergency is that Trump is destroying economic growth with tariffs at about the same rate that he’s chasing foreign-born workers out of the country. The reason unemployment isn’t getting bigger is that the economy is getting smaller. trib.al/k3dMYSy

If Trump does nothing in response to a Russian attack on Poland, "Europeans will have to stop fooling themselves and face the fact that the Americans really aren’t there for them," Robert Kagan argues:

Why is capitalism more popular under Democrats? Could it be that no restraints is a bad thing?

Yes, Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade really said this about homeless people: “Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em."

"What they did wasn’t warranted. I know for an absolute fact I did nothing wrong." George Retes, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran swept up in an ICE raid, spoke with Conor Friedersdorf: https://theatln.tc/70IO4a9F 📸: Carlos Jaramillo for The Atlantic

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

'Fox & Friends' co-host Brian Kilmeade suggested euthanizing unhoused people with mental health issues who decline help, saying, “Just kill ‘em.” More: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is unreal. Jesus would be hanging out with the people Brian Kilmeade wants the state to murder. They do not follow God
