I really wish people who should know better would stop saying Kimmel was suspended for “comments about Charlie Kirk.”
Kimmel was not suspended for anything he said, and anyway, the quote they’re using is about MAGA, not Kirk.

I get that saving democracy is up to all of us, but where are the PACs? For each DHS ad, there should be at least one ad outing the Republicans for allowing trump to enact an authoritarian regime.

Rand Paul argues to Will Cain that killing people withou process is bad: "Let's say there's a house in your neighborhood & they're selling fentanyl & thousands of people have died & you're mad, do you go over there and just kill them or burn them? No, you go to a judge and you get a warrant."

Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime.

So glad ICE is in Chicago. The city is a lawless hell-scape. Blues musicians wrecking hundreds of police cars. High schoolers doing weird scientific sex experiments. Kids home alone during the holidays. Women killing their husbands and lovers and then SINGING about it sassily. This has to stop.

1/3 Just so we are all clear on this.
Based on what this former official "who has years of direct experience in fighting drug cartels" told the Times.
The order to blow up the Venezuelan boat may have instead killed migrants who were being smuggled.

And yet he told Martha Raddatz all about how useful the law is, and he blamed the family of the shooter for not using it.
