Rep. Don Bacon: "There have been some wrong statements made, to say the least — when the attorney general said she was going to go after hate speech...is wrong...The president doing threats against media is also wrong. We don't threaten the media."

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

MONDAY: @maddow.msnbc.com sits down with former Vice President @kamalaharris.com in the studio for her first news interview since leaving office. Watch The Rachel Maddow Show Monday, Sept. 22 at 9pm ET on MSNBC.
Josh Shapiro: "I was on a Spanish language radio program in the Allentown area and the host said something really chilling to me -- that he now has to think about what topics he's going to discuss because he's fearful he might offend federal regulators of the president."
Here's what Saint Charlie said about Crockett a few months before he died. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...
Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.
Sen. Tim Kaine: "Brian Kilmeade 10 days ago suggested that homeless, mentally ill people should be lethally injected. He apologized...He didn't get pulled off the air."

JUST LIKE FASCIST PIG HITLER, Trump uses all the same IDENTICAL fascist subversion of Democracy Tactics. THAT is why Khrushchev & the Russians - who've financed anti-American, lawless, criminal, child-raping traitor Trump since the 1980s - also had DJT study Hitler's tactics in prep for their COUP.
Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side. You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!
What he is saying quite clearly is that Pam Bondi must indict several of his long-time political enemies immediately or she will be fired and replaced by someone who will.
Dear A’ja…
Raskin: "He wants to condition the public to the idea that it's completely legitimate for the president not only to be ordering prosecutions of particular people over the objections of prosecutors, but he wants to condition the public to accepting the idea he can do that in public, openly."
The conversation starts and ends here because at the end of the day... 𝙈’𝙑𝙋 ✨

🚨 BREAKING: Trump’s DOJ shut down an FBI probe after agents caught Border Czar Tom Homan on tape taking $50,000 in cash from undercover operatives posing as contractors in exchange for promised gov’t contracts. MSNBC’s Carol Leonnig & Ken Dilanian with a massive scoop. Link in reply.
Uh oh… The right isn’t going to like this. 🚨 NEW: A Justice Department official on the Charlie Kirk case told NBC News, “So far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect to any left-wing groups.”
“Stop the Count”: food-insecurity version. 🤡 @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/trum...
What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.
Meanwhile, back in the real world . . . Bagram Air Base was built by the Soviet Union in the 1950s. What an idiot.
🚨Governor Newsom said, no more masks. “What are you afraid of?” California legislators have written a bill, it has been passed, and signed. 👏🏻More👏🏻Of👏🏻This!
If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.
For those who felt Aja Wilson won the DPOY , Yell were Right🤷🏼♀️.. those 29 ppl must thought the award was team defense of the year🤯

Candace Owens: “Pam Bondi, who is a complete loser and a tool, is trying to use Charlie Kirk’s assassination to lay the ground work for hate speech laws in 🇺🇸— the very thing Charlie was fighting against. They all just got right to work.” (H/T @ofthebraveusa.bsky.social )
Top Performer Satou Sabally lead team with 23pts & 12 RBs f the W in GM3.. clinched Semifinal ‼️💪🏽
🚨Senator Duckworth speaks truth about the fading line between police and military in this country. Parts of this country is already in a police state. Reference the video I posted of the LA MVA where LEO’s did not respond; citizens responded. 1/2
Democratic candidate Kat Abughazaleh was thrown to the ground by ICE in Chicago.
A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.
This. All of this. 🔥
There goes the First Amendment.
That was fast. This is also why you don’t surrender to autocrats - you fight them and beat them.

The Trump administration is consolidating American media in the hands of right-wing billionaires. @chrislhayes.bsky.social explains in under two minutes ⬇️ www.mediamatters.org/chris-hayes/...
The Senate voted unanimously Thursday to establish October 14, Charlie Kirk’s birthday, as a National Day of Remembrance. ground.news/article/sen-...
Here’s how Jimmy Fallon responded to Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off air:
Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”
Aces going to semifinals ‼️
First Semifinals is set💪🏽 ..Gamecock vs Gamecock 👀‼️🔥🔥

Senators weigh in after ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel off the air following pressure from the FCC over comments about Charlie Kirk's death.
Late night hosts criticizing the president isn’t new. Having a thin-skinned dictator wannabe who can’t take it is.
STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.
"It's a slow trickle." ... "Until one day you wake up and ask, Where have our rights gone?" Rep. Maxwell Frost encourages Americans to stay informed and stay engaged in pushing back on Donald Trump's overreach. @frost.house.gov
Exclusive: After ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air following chairman Brendan Carr's threat, the FCC's lone Democratic commissioner criticized the Trump administration for "weaponizing" the agency's authority.
NBC: Do you think it's appropriate for Brendan Carr to threaten companies if they didn't take action? JOHN THUNE: *walks away*
@ericswalwell.bsky.social on Kimmel: “That’s what it looks like in China, that’s what it looks like in Russia, that can’t be what it looks like in America”
OH MY GOD
The women of the WNBA kicks👀
Watch this, and keep in mind that Sinclair's right-wing propaganda now reaches 72% of all households in America.
You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

Bam Adebayo posted this on his threads account after A’ja Wilson was named co-defensive players of the year with Alanna Smith 😮
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
Rep. Dan Goldman: "I'm very disappointed in Disney. ... This is an obvious first amendment violation."
Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."
This is the 1st DPOY award for Smith and the 3rd for Wilson (2022,2023) but this is the first time in league history that the award has been shared.

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC
