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?'"

On top of this being bat sh*t crazy stuff from the usual suspects, it's also a good reminder of how the right wing rage machine works. The right is full on & in lock step 24/7 across the many media platforms it controls. There is nothing like this on the other side in terms of volume, output.

New in PN: The Trump Murder Policy "Trump has claimed Venezuelan boats are being attacked because they’re smuggling drugs, but his evidence doesn’t amount to much more than 'trust me, bro.'"

It's essential that Jimmy Kimmel mocked Trump's censorship efforts during his return last night. This sends the message that the more powerful cultural and societal backlash is against Trump and MAGA, not the other way around. (More below.)

KIMMEL, on the Pentagon’s new reporting “pledge”: “.. They want to pick what the ‘news’ is. I know it’s not as interesting as muzzling a comedian, .. but it’s nuts that we aren’t paying more attention to it.”

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up

The catastrophic breakdown of the United States continues apace.

Come on @nytimes.com. This is such a cowardly dodge. Tell Americans the truth: TRUMP AND THE REPUBLICANS TOOK AWAY OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES, NOW COSTS WILL DOUBLE. Say that in the headline, say it up top in the story. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/h...

Trump/MAGA are trying to gaslight us into believing that anti-Jimmy Kimmel America is vast and deep, that MAGA's grip on the culture is unshakable, that mobilization is futile. But this episode has demonstrated the opposite. Let's not forget it. Thoughts on this: newrepublic.com/article/2008...

"Every serious foreign policy discussion today misses the fundamental reality—Trump's strategic corruption has become America's primary vulnerability. China doesn't need to steal our technology when they can simply buy Trump."

Um...

I encourage you to watch the trailer for yourself and think *which* right-wing ideologies might be offended by the portrayal: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYQi...

Exercise extreme caution when taking medical advice from an administration that sees facts as playthings to be misinterpreted, ignored, overlooked, or overplayed depending on how doing so serves a preferred narrative. And that won't bring us closer to discovery or cures.

This is a violation of free speech. Period. Carried out against brave federal employees who are speaking out in the public interest. It should get every ounce of attention that the cancelation of @jimmykimmel.com received. www.cnn.com/2025/09/23/p...

I definitely think Sinclair and Nexstar made this return an even bigger deal by trying to limit access. They make Trump look even weaker — and their decision more brazenly political.

Trump just threatened to sue ABC again for allowing Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, which is SUPER weird, because all of these Republicans said that the decision to pull Kimmel’s show was a “business decision.”

Tonight @jimmykimmel.com and Disney stood up for free speech and our constitution. They are going toe to toe with an authoritarian president who is threatening all of our freedoms. Kimmel and Disney deserve our full support going forward. Let’s show them they have it and win this for freedom.

The President of the United States directly encouraging the prosecution of his political opponents is an assault on the core values we hold as Americans. Do not accept this as normal.

In 10 minutes millions of normies are going to find out their local ABC channel is pro-censorship

"They pulled my friend Stephen off the air and tried to coerce affiliates to take my show off the air. That’s not legal. That’s not American. That is un-American and so dangerous." — Jimmy Kimmel on government censorship.

This, from a conservative Fed Soc atty. @greggnunziata.bsky.social

Never in our history, not even during Watergate, has a single news cycle so comprehensibly established the deep corruption and politicization of the Department of Justice

It's becoming increasingly untenable for principled, honorable, ethical conservative lawyers to continue serving in the Justice Department. That's a shocking truth and a dangerous state of affairs

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

As I was saying…

Here are two minutes of lowlights from Trump’s rambling, hour-long address to the UN General Assembly that Twitter is calling one of the most embarrassing moments in recent US history. Subscribe to zeteo.com for more.

'being mean to me is illegal. not being mean enough to my enemies is also illegal. also give me more money. extortion is legal when i do it'

Most Sinclair & Nexstar stations did not address the Jimmy Kimmel Live issue at all, but a few did. Here's Nexstar station WTEN in Albany:

Kimmel: "That's right. Follow the advice of Donald Trump and you too can look like a glazed ham with deep vein thrombosis."

Kimmel's show put together a montage of Trump insisting dozens of times yesterday to "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL." Complete insanity.

Trump and MAGA really showed their asses as unprincipled stooges by abusing the FCC to get Kimmel suspended. Watching it blow up in their faces has been delightful. It proves we can still come together and beat these fascists.

Jimmy Kimmel mocks FCC chair Brendan Carr as he returns to ABC tonight. His full comments on the matter.

“Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke.”

Kimmel is not holding back on Trump at all

Jimmy Kimmel just now on Donald Trump: “He tried his best to cancel me. Instead he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now.”

this insane space plutocrat was in charge of the whole government for like six months, probably killed a lot of people worldwide, compromised essentially everyone’s security, and made everything infinitely shoddier but no less expensive. And he is the guy who’s supposed to take us back to the moon.

Trump pushed Kimmel into going full resistance lib for the biggest audience he will ever have. Another masterclass from the president.

Damn good monologue from Kimmel just now: "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."
