There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

That’s quite the attitude for a journalist. But then she campaigned for Trump, so….
A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.
Mr Nobel at it again
It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.
History doesn’t repeat. It is REPLICATED. Very intentionally.
Melissa Hortman (1970-2025)
They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
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.
Repost ad infinitum.
Punishing college students for protesting him. Pressuring TV networks to fire late night talk show hosts for criticizing him. Suing newspapers for reporting he doesn’t like. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?
The FCC once enforced the "fairness doctrine," requiring broadcasters to air both sides of an issue. Now, the FCC enforces an unfairness doctrine, threatening broadcasters that air views critical of Trump or his MAGA right.
WTF! ICE agents are cosplaying as snipers now? Protesters are clashing with ICE outside the immigration processing facility in west suburban Broadview. Agents dragged two protesters, including one pulled inside the building. A chemical agent was reportedly sprayed.
Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/
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
I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.
OBAMA: Sir, I’m not the President of the United States, currently. So, there’s no point in shouting at me. I’m not in charge of foreign policy currently.
Who the hell is he talking about?
To me you are npr
Why didn’t he cite any data? Everything I saw showed reduced hospitalizations for all ages with vaccines
Once upon a time…
Uh oh
That was weird
How about numbers on prosecutions? Arresting people is one thing, proving it is something else. I thought he was making it up
It’s disorienting
I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.
I wish
He’s working up to outlawing Democratic Party
No matter what he cancels he can’t cancel himself off the Epstein list.
This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.
No way
NEW: President Trump is asking the Supreme Court to let him fire Lisa Cook, the culmination of his effort to take control of executive branch entities once thought to be insulated. w/ @samjsutton.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

I have read and reread orwell’s books over and over since 2017. That one is poignant
WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
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.
That can go both ways
of all the things I am not going to buy, this is the thing I am not going to buy the most
I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Jennings: He does not have a right to have a TV show where he lies his ass off to the American people and attacks half this country on a nightly basis Phillip: There are plenty of people over on another network who lied about the last election, who denigrate half the country every single night.
“You can’t bomb the truth away” My full speech at Wembley Arena tonight, in London, to 12,000 people at the Together for Palestine concert, paying tribute to murdered Palestinian journalists and their bravery, and calling out the silence and complicity of Western media.
The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”
Omg
They are so weak they have to resort to silencing you. Do not be quiet… they have no power, and the weak little boy Donald withers when challenged every time
Yes
They will accuse known democrats as being antifa and they’ll be guilty until proven otherwise
It will be like HUAC , accusing people of being antifa and asking them to name names
Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air for mocking Donald Trump and MAGA, not for disrespecting anyone recently assassinated. Don't listen to the lies that say otherwise.
Does this mean democrats? Everyone is at risk
NEW: Trump is designating "Antifa" a terrorist organization (though there's no legal mechanism to do - but the law doesn't matter anymore.) He's using the Kirk murder to justify going after democrats. Those of us who read Project 2025 knew this was coming - but that provides little comfort.
Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.
That's ... not ... remotely ... defamatory
I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.
Happy to hear someone who understands science
Me too
Hell no
We need to fight for free speech!
Cancel culture has reemerged
Can he sue??
I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. F*ck Trump and F*ck ABC/Disney. I’ve met Jimmy and I’ve met Trump and one is a smart, funny and empathetic man and one is an illiterate racist POS.
I'll say again: not a democracy. Robinson was raised by MAGAs and steeped in MAGA culture. He then entered the sinister alt-right digital ecosystem. He happens to be gay, but the presumption that that means he's a leftist is virulently homophobic. Kimmel gets this, and was suspended for saying it.
This is wrong!
Raskin to Patel: "In a few short months, how did you go from being a crusader for accountability and transparency with the Epstein files to being part of the conspiracy and coverup? The answer is simple. You said it yourself -- because of who is on that list."
JUST IN: Trump FCC Chair Threatens ABC With Punishment Over Jimmy Kimmel’s Charlie Kirk Comments. You are only permitted to say things about Kirk that are pre-approved by Trump regime. Any deviation will result in Trump punishment (But pls dont call Trump fascist) www.mediaite.com/media/news/j...
Mike Fanone: "No American politician has done more to normalize political violence in this country than Donald J. Trump."
Senator Bill Cassidy has just announced that Senator Mullen (R, verbal abuser and liar) has admitted he LIED when he said the meeting between Dr. Monarez and RFK Jr. was recorded. She stood by her testimony in the face of these lies and abuse. Mullen should be removed from office for this.
I trust medical experts and scientists over a heroin addict. This should not be a controversial position.
The Epstein Investigation is so much bigger than you can imagine. It is not only about justice for survivors—it is also about the institutions and systems that protected rich and powerful men they knew were abusing women and children: the banks, the government agencies, and other powerful people.
The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.
It goes along with their narrative of LGBTQ are mentally ill and should be erased
Grateful for our state leadership
This is exactly why California is putting out our own, science-backed vaccine recommendations through the West Coast Health Alliance. We're not going to let the Trump Administration's recklessness put our residents in harm's way.
Kash Patel, RFK Jr, and The Confederacy of Dunces That Are Killing The Rest of Us MAGA's base is slowly fracturing, turning on Kash Patel and the FBI, after being radicalized with conspiracy theories promoted by the world's most incompetent and reckless people. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
RFK Jr. is a menace.
He shouldn’t have been confirmed
Evidence should be admitted in court of law, they shouldn’t be talking about it. It’s only done to continue their assault on LGBTQ communities
Corporate “news” is 100% complicit in not merely covering up, but in perpetuating the murderous racism of this system.
He has no self control
What a travesty to have an FBI director who’s so belligerent, hot-headed and unprofessional. The country should expect someone in this role who makes Americans safer, not create more volatility.
Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”
Crockett: When you I say you are the least qualified in the history of the FBI, it’s real… Patel: That’s false Crockett: I didn’t ask you a question. I want to talk about why you're a failure and honestly we need to tell you, bye, bye
WOW: Trump's Secty of Treasury Scott Bessent made mortgage claims similar to ones Trump cited to try to fire Fed’s Cook. He will be charged and prosecuted, right? Nah Trump's DOJ ONLY Prosecutes Democrats. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/17/b...
He is not intent on preventing disease. He’s intent on letting it run wild. That’s how he’s going to “make America healthy again.” Whatever doesn’t kill us will make us stronger. Public health is, therefore, not a goal. It’s an obstacle to overcome. www.editorialboard.com/for-kennedy-...
It’s his own form of eugenics
Emotional issues
He’s shockingly unqualified
The right wing can complain all they want, but we will continue to fight for free and fair elections and against GOP collusion to undermine them.
Tim Walz warns: the storm hasn’t passed—dark days still lie ahead. But he promises the chaos will end. And when it does, history will carve its judgment: these people won’t be remembered for victories, but for the disgrace of what they tried to do.
KAINE: Were you instructed by the secretary of HHS to not speak to senators? MONAREZ: I was instructed to not speak directly to senators KAINE: So Senate-confirmed CDC director instructed not to speak to senators
Transparency?
LIEU: Is Donald Trump on Epstein's client list? PATEL: The index has been released LIEU: America, this is a huge red flag -- the FBI director could not answer whether Trump is on Epstein's client list
Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein First Amendment under active assault. Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Lying about a left wing hate movement to suppress free speech...exactly how democracies die. Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein Epstein
God bless him
If you are close to anyone who died of pancreatic cancer, as many of us are, this is astonishingly great news. Let us hope it is true, and let us hope that the work is allowed to continue in the current situation.
