Over a two-year period, prosecutors across 16 states charged more than 400 people with pregnancy-related crimes, with most of the charges originating in states with near or total abortion bans, according to a new report released Tuesday.

"Please clap"

I remember this movie. It came out in 2002 and was called Minority Report. How did it end again?

In 2024, abortion beat the Democrat on the ballot in Florida (+14), Arizona (+15), Missouri (+11), Nevada (+16). In 2022, it gave us a "blue undertow" that staved off the full red wave.

UCLA in the ranks of institutions that stand up—and prevail. And another [non-Scotus, of course] federal judge in the ranks of those who stand up for rule of law. Courage and principle are contagious. Stand up, and support others who do.

These numbers are fantastic! Based on my reporting last week, it also seems that a big part of what's needed for future sustainability is to shore up ad rates on these platforms so that cultural influence and profitability can once again be directly proportional. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Nearly 7 million views for ABC's official YouTube video of Kimmel's 28-minute monologue overnight. It is already the most-viewed Kimmel clip of the year on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

Calling all Guild members, labor allies and anyone who believes in a free country — Join us outside the entrance to ABC's offices at 7 Hudson Square (310 Hudson Street, Manhattan) TOMORROW at 12 PM ET to demand that ABC bring back Jimmy Kimmel Live! RSVP: wgaea.st/kimmel-rally

Rep. Frost: "We cannot let the fear of speaking out become normal. We cannot allow truth telling to become a crime. And we cannot let them silence us."

Can't stop won't stop until Kimmel is back on the air. #WGAstrong

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Already a crowd outside the Disney lot! A friend send me this. I am out of town but there in spirit. Oh, and Kimmel didn't lie like he's being accused (objectively true), Trump and his whole retribution crew have just been after him and finally found a way to twist his words that gained traction.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

This is all he said.

aaaaaaand again

“The Trump administration is ordering the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of ‘corrosive ideology.’”

Black women have every right to be furious. The irresponsible choices of white voters has for many of us, taken our livelihood with consequences for our homes, the education of our children, our ability to care for parents. It’s unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/u...

At (another) Hampton’s fundraiser with Republican donors on Saturday, Andrew Cuomo said it plainly: he’s expecting Trump’s help to defeat us in November. “I feel good about that,” Cuomo said. New Yorkers won’t.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely. Here's why.

Rob Delaney on the 'emotional budgeting' required to make 'Dying for Sex'

Tony Gilroy, Spike Lee, Ilana Glazer, Adam McKay, Liz Merriwether and more than 2,300 WGA members signed onto an open letter decrying the recent attacks on the Free Press. “Now and always, when writers come under attack, our collective power as a union allows us to fight back.”

MEDIA: Please report on the TX story w/context. Tx law requires redistricting every 10 years after census figures come in. TX did that. Trump, afraid to lose the midterms told Tx Republicans to find 5 more seats for the House. Meaning gerrymander away 5 Dem seats. The Republicans did it.

Not cool, NYC, if I wanted to deal with earthquakes and wildfire smoke, I would have moved to LA

one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

26 Federal Plaza is not a courthouse. It's a makeshift jail where asylum seekers are held for days in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions on the 10th floor. Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and I are demanding an investigation into whether this de facto jail violates zoning laws.

No surprise but @jilltwiss.bsky.social has done it (writing something smart and funny) again!

I wrote about Colbert for the Guardian. It started out talking about the politics, but then it just became a sort of love letter for late night television.

We stand by our members who work on #TheColbertShow and all people who continue to speak truth to power ✊ @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @wgaeast.bsky.social @wgawest.bsky.social deadline.com/2025/07/wga-...

My beloved Guild, the WGA, comes out swinging. And appropriately so. Please read.

The following is a statement from the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) on Paramount’s Decision to Cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.

WGA statement on Paramount’s decision to cancel the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Dying For Sex got 9 Emmy nominations! Now you have to watch it or you could get in big trouble!

Let's go Dying for Sex!! The most life-affirming show about kink and dying of cancer you'll ever see (and that I had the immense joy and privilege of writing on)

I’ve been avoiding watching “Dying for Sex” because Michelle Williams performances usually shatter me but Rob Delaney just got nominated for an Emmy for his work in it so I guess I’m ready to get wrecked!!

Said this before but will say it again. The Hulu show Dying for Sex is incredible. 10/10 Highly recommend.

If you are an elected New York Dem and you are not endorsing the ***WINNER OF THE DEM PRIMARY***, you are part of the problem. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

“So the president wants to install paramilitaries in all our cities to run his ethnic cleansing program” “No big deal” “But there’s a guy running for mayor of NYC who wants free buses” *guns drawn* “This is a five alarm fire. Only our finest anonymous Nazis can handle this”

I think if there are any govt desk workers out there with union protection, you’ve gotta get used to misplacing paperwork or extending deadlines for your work to be due. Throw sand in the wheels

The U.S. Senate has just approved a massive reconciliation bill. Analyses by the CBO show it would lead to million of peoples losing Medicaid coverage. Among other effects, research has shown that when Medicaid has been cut, crime rates have gone up: boltsmag.org/medicai...

A new study estimates that USAID saved 92 million lives from 2001 to 2021, and that its demolition could kill 14 million people in only five years through 2030. That would make the end of USAID by far the most impactful action Trump has taken this year. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.
