Typically, presidents vet their US Atty picks before they nominate them instead of calling them out afterwards. Makes Trump’s operation look sloppy. This is a highly regarded prosecutor whose office concluded there wasn’t a case. Trump is playing politics, not looking at the prosecution.
Yeah that pretty much sums it up.

Do you realize how crazy it sounds to complain that comedians are making fun of the president more than they make fun of other people? Yes, the most powerful, most famous person is a more common target of mockery than some legislator in the opposition party. Why would you possibly find that odd?

SMITE!!!
We literally predicted that yesterday while commenting the US military nonjudiciary killing of the people on a 3rd boat in the international waters. Shame on US military.
And *this* is why "The View" didn't mention Jimmy Kimmel being forced out in violation of the First Amendment, even though it was the biggest news of the day. The hosts' paychecks will always come before informing you.
🇺🇦Zelensky: Russian fighter jets have violated NATO airspace again, this time in Estonia. Destabilization is expanding to new countries and directions. They are using all the tools, from interfering in political processes, as in Romania and Moldova, to violating airspace, in Poland, Romania, Estonia.
“If we don’t measure food insecurity, no one’s hungry” “If we delete research on right-wing violence, there’s no right-wing violence” “If we don’t release inflation data, there’s no inflation” “If we stop Covid testing, we’ll have fewer cases” You see what’s happening, right?
These idiots don’t have a clue how things work. Tech, Pharma, Biosciences and other industries benefited greatly from hiring foreign PhDs…skilled roles that Americans were not lining up to fill. They won’t pay $100K/yr in extortion money and Americans won’t fill them. These jobs are gone.
” I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.” Malcolm X
What’s said is the people who keep falling for it. Not sure which is actually worse.
It really is always amazing to me that Trump and Republicans have it down to a science dangling a steady diet of culture war nonsense like Cracker Barrel, Bud Light & jeans ads to keep their supporters from noticing that everything they do is to enrich themselves & billionaires.
A) yes it is B) By “bad” he means calling out his lies
Breaking: Trump Halts Patriot Sales — While Russia Escalates Trump is sabotaging Ukraine to help Putin against America's National security interests. Reminder: Republicans in Congress could stop this.
In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.
Used to be you could get canceled for all kinds of things, it was too complicated. Now things are nice and simple: you can only get canceled for being nasty to our big beautiful president
SOYBEAN FARMER🧑🌾 : “It’s not good for anybody. Best case scenario is we never have to talk about tariffs again. Free trade is the answer.” China is now buying $0 from us — and soybeans are Tennessee’s #1 cash crop. Why don’t @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn etc. care? 😕
This is an absolute *must watch*. Drill @abbierichards.bsky.social axioms into your brain. Re-post ad infinitum.
It shouldn’t be this hard to get by.
Ted Cruz said in a senate hearing a few years ago that J6 was a “terrorist attack” on the Capitol and took it all back in a groveling interview on Tucker Carlson 24 hours later. So I’m not all that excited he defended the First Amendment today. Let’s see what he says next week.

I'm proud to have enacted the biggest electricity bill relief for Californians in a decade. We're cutting hundreds of dollars off millions of families' utility bills, making clean energy projects easier and cheaper to build, and preventing price increases at the gas pump.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of a key annual report that is central to future inflation data. I’m sure it’s because the numbers are really, really good.

"Isn't it past your jail time?" -- Jimmy Kimmel, March 10, 2024
The right is going to keep canceling comedians until we get an American Zelenskyy
The right (and some on the left) want you to believe that it's all over, that it's too late to save this country. It's not. There are more of us than there are of them. If we work together we will stop them. We will fight and we will win!

Blowing up boats in the Caribbean without any legal authority risks dragging the United States into another war, and provoking attacks against American citizens. I'm getting ready to force a vote with @kaine.senate.gov to ensure Congress' power to declare war is not so easily trampled.
Don’t like a TV show? Don’t watch it. I liked Jimmy Kimmel, so I watched. I hate Fox News, so I don’t. Problem solved.

Every op-ed I read these days conveys the cynical belief that a majority of Americans are huge babies who cannot handle progressive policies of any kind, and in order to win them over you must appeal to the sensibilities of King Baby, the pundit himself.
"In parts of the country, the government would like sites to collect an unprecedented amount of identifying information about their users. In the whole country, the government would like to track down and prosecute those users if they are rude... It doesn’t take a mastermind to see the risks."

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.
Silencing smart people so dumb people won’t be offended is like unplugging the smoke alarm so the fire won’t feel bad.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.
If I remember correctly there used to be a show called Info Wars and the host whose name I don't recall talked at great length about how the slaughter of children was just a bunch of actors and not a real thing. I don't recall the FCC getting involved with this.
"It's alarming to hear that instead of solving the problem there's some right-wing commentators who want to execute mentally ill homeless people. I think their words were, just ‘kill them’ - this was followed by a lackluster apology.” - @repsuhas.bsky.social (D-VA10) bluevirginia.us/2025/09/frid...

Why haven't Democrats embraced ABOLISH ICE? What more do we need to see?
Shapiro: Today he’s trying to sanction voices on the left. That means tomorrow he could sanction someone because of what they look like, who they love, or how they pray. We need more speech, not less
LENO: “Usually it’s the truth that winds up getting canceled.”
This is amazing.
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.

Don't let anyone tell you boycotts can't work. Don't let anyone tell you boycotts are just performative. When the right opportunity arrives, like it did for Tesla and Target, boycotts can do real damage. Disney is another perfect opportunity to use what power we do have.

Barack Obama scolds media companies: Get a spine The former president said the media needs to "start standing up" for free speech after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.
I cannot overstate how remarkable it is that under GOP rule, US federal health regulations have been captured by fringe crackpots who espouse views that the vast majority of the US public—and nearly 100% of health professionals—reject. Gift link:

America was given Project 2025 in writing and failed an open book test. In case you didn’t know, Brendan Carr was one of the authors.
This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.
When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave. And they should not need to be told this.
