"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

Gavin Newsom is warning of real threats to our institutions. “We’re at Code Red.” 🚨 Now is not the time for complacency.

I can’t tell you exactly how I know but after sixty years in and around politics I’ve developed a sixth sense, and my sixth sense tells me the tide is now turning on Trump. This past week did it. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleeping-giant-is-awakening

Kamala Harris on MSNBC now saying she “always believed titans of industry” would be guardrails for democracy but now—shocker—she reports that turns out they’re not. Only, she still’s waiting! “At some point they’ve got to stand up.” This kind of willful naïveté & denial doesn’t need airtime.

It's a tough choice.

These Project 2025 videos were intended to train a second Trump administration’s political appointees "to be ready on day one." Last August, ProPublica & @documented.net obtained 14 hours of the videos, which covered everything from passing new regulations to rooting out left-wing language:

Update: Current law provides for the designation of some groups as "foreign terrorist organizations," but no similar process exists for domestic groups.

Sinclair is refusing to air Kimmel. @Disney needs to pull their programming. High Potential Abbott Elementary The Rookie Shifting Gears 9-1-1 Will Trent Grey’s Anatomy Dancing with the Stars. PULL THEM ALL FROM SINCLAIR. Leave a gaping hole in their schedule where their ethics aren't.

😕🇺🇸

Playing with people’s livelihoods, ripping away hardworking parents of US citizens from their families — is that just all “collateral damage” to you, Donald Trump and Stephen Miller? Is this heartlessness really the America you want to live in?

At issue is whether the president has the authority to dismiss the heads of those agencies that are protected by Congress.

Hey Captain Cankles, where the fuck are the Epstein Files? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

If having a felony conviction on your record doesn’t disqualify someone from being the President, it shouldn’t disqualify someone from voting. People with felony convictions should be able to vote.

5 companies now control 90% of the 🇺🇸 media market. Not great! And they have all either caved to Trump, or are owned or may soon be owned by his allies. (Per @moreperfectunion.bsky.social — A 1996 bill signed by Clinton set us on this path 😕)

Here’s last night’s story about Jimmy Kimmel, the FCC, freedom of speech in the U.S., and why certain broadcast groups could learn a thing or two from Love Island. youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Yep. This is a fully blown Tyrannical Government and not a damn thing is being done about it. They're all shaking in their boots while licking his. It's sickening. It's disgusting. He MUST BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE ASAP and his loyalist cohorts need to be replaced‼️ #remove47 #RemoveTrump

The president describes a cartoonish fantasy of a George Soros-backed criminal network. If only the left were that good at collective defense.

"I think what they’re doing in part [is] to make it very, very difficult for Democrats to ever beat Republicans."

Imagine if we cared about protecting the right to healthcare, a living wage, housing and education the same way we protect the right to bear arms? If we made it easier to access the things necessary to survive and thrive and harder to access weapons that disable and kill?

One person familiar with the federal investigation told NBC News “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups…Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive.”

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

The news of the week makes it sadly clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy. It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise Sign up now to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

I don’t believe Kimmel & Colbert were fired for anything they said about Charlie Kirk but rather to silence them. Trump will now try to eliminate all powerful voices that are critical of him

President Trump wants to be able to fire far more executive branch employees at will — upending checks on presidential power that have existed for more than a century.

Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner is defending Jimmy Kimmel after the Disney-owned ABC network indefinitely suspended the late-night host from his show, "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"

Trump will come for all of us. He will bar organizations that criticize him. Intimidate critics for speaking negatively about the administration in public. He will turn the power of the Department of Justice to investigate any organization or person who opposes him and his administration.

One of Ben & Jerry’s founders, Jerry Greenfield, has resigned saying that its independence had been lost and its social activism “silenced” under the control of its parent company, Unilever. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

A whole new Disney! Thank you, @dixiedroo

Shameful. Media companies like ABC and Nexstar must defend freedom of expression, not give in to President Trump.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

AOC: All in the name of Charlie Kirk, Trump and the FCC are now cynically threatening to shut down ABC and any outlets who give air time to the administration's political critics. This is a disgusting attack on the American people and the very first amendment rights that define us as a country.
