@lastweektonight.com John Oliver was pitch perfect on the matter. There truly was no there there just wrong headed comprehension The corporate response was spineless and focused on deal driven profits. The released Disney statement takes cover with faux empathy. youtu.be/ohPToBog_-g?...
Disney excuse is pure BS
Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension makes plain that, as long as Donald Trump continues to abuse his executive power, the titans of American capitalism can’t be relied on to push back.
Spineless
Taking bribes? And as Trump chastises Bondi for not investigating his personal enemies more quickly, DOJ drops a real case ?
Bye bye lawsuit. Melting snowflakes

@thebeat.msnbc.com @arimelber.bsky.social You bring up that the emails basically didn't nail down Trump. Not surprised. Esp since Trump doesn't use email & probably avoids writing most things down. These types of individuals deliberately behave surreptitiously. www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...
I suspect the delay w/Kirk press conference due to "rapid developments" may well be progress while also being Trump's control of news cycle by having Patel attend to divert eyes from Trump-Epstein forbidden activities. Trump has no shame when it comes to indecency to control messaging. Nothing more
@democrats.senate.gov No shutdown deal until the Big Ugly Bill's care cuts are repealed & Trump ends his DC & LA takeover. Short term pain is dwarfed by the big greedy steal in the Big Ugly Bill. Unabashedly/sternly message what is being taken/stolen to the Trump MAGA base. Drown out Trump lies.!
Senate Republicans just confirmed a Trump judicial nominee who failed to remember basic aspects of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Even a Senate Judiciary Republican said he needed to “brush up.” Painful.

“Nobody is going to save us but ourselves.” @rweingarten.bsky.social is right. We’re not the first group of citizens in the world to confront authoritarianism - and what we can learn from other countries is that it is up to we, the people, to stand up to abuses of power. #WorkersDeserve
More than a f'g quarter century since Columbine, and it's the same f'g script...but no meaningful gun safety laws; and Trump has been reversing gun safety measures implemented. WTF people It's neither to early or late to do right.
