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.”

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.

And that’s that on that 💯💯💯

I usually like Ezra Klein's articles, even when I disagree. Not today. I do not think that "Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way".
Having said that, just to be clear: nothing justifies his heinous assassination. No one should be celebrating his death.

Instead of the media’s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirk’s actual words being spread far and wide.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Happy anniversary to #Animaniacs! After the success of Tiny Toon Adventures, Tom Ruegger created this successful spin-off also produced by Steven Spielberg. The Peabody and Emmy award winning show debuted on Fox Kids back in 1993 and is a part of the Kids’ WB lineup.

I am 76 & I have had most of these vaccinations at one time or another. Also vaccinations against Covid, Tetanus, plus Cholera & Yellow Fever when travelling in foreign countries.
These prevented me catching horrible diseases & dying a gruesome death. They did not harm me, they protected me!

Thirsty Trump’s Desperate Cold-Call About Nobel Peace Prize A Norwegian official confirmed that the MAGA figurehead’s long-suffering bid to win the prize has sunk to an all-new low.

Trump has stooped to cold calling Norwegian diplomats in his long-suffering bid to be awarded the country’s coveted Noble Peace Prize.

From Twitter: David Oscar Markus & @domarkus X.com Dear @MuellerSheWrote : There is no such thing as work release in federal prison, so your reporting is false. All you had to do was ask any criminal law practitioner, and they would have explained this to you. I wish we had work release in federal prison — and I wish we treated people behind bars better than we do. How about you? I'm surprised to hear my progressive friends criticizing more humane prisons and Ghislaine's transfer to a safer facility, especially after she faced serious danger in Tallahassee. The outrage machine wants to turn a safer placement into a scandal. But it's still prison. And despite the soundbites, prison is a truly awful place.

My response on Twitter: Hello, Mr. Markus. Here is the BOP policy that says Out Custody is eligible for work details outside prison. Will you go on record that she will not be allowed outside despite her waiver? Also, who authorized the waiver, and in exchange for what? The BOP policy reads: ₽5100.08 9/12/2006 Chapter 2, Page 4 OUT CUSTODY. The second lowest custody level assigned to an inmate requiring the second lowest level of security and staff supervision. An inmate who has OUT custody may be assigned to less secure housing and may be eligible for work details outside the institution's secure perimeter with a minimum of two-hour intermittent staff supervision.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney - addressing me directly - says there’s no such thing as prisoner work details outside the facility in the federal prison system. Yes there are. I have receipts.

Today is the 90th anniversary of SSA. Check out this great historical write up by @hcrichardson.bsky.social on our origin story and why we are so vital and embedded in the fabric of this country. ❤️❤️❤️

Most US adults think the GOP tax bill will help the wealthy and harm the poor, AP-NORC poll finds A new AP-NORC poll shows that while Republican elected officials are promoting their recently passed tax and spending bill as a win for working Americans, everyday Americans broadly see it as a win for the wealthy.

About two-thirds of U.S. adults expect the new tax law will help the rich, according to an AP-NORC poll. Most think it will do more to hurt than help low-income people. About half say it will do more harm than good for middle-class people.

Looking forward to summer travel abroad? You need to be careful. Americans carrying US passports could remain targets even if the bombing stopped. The world now hates us and we have one man to thank for that.

The Marines did not sign up to police LA A veteran and military law expert on "being used against your neighbor" as a soldier.

The Marines did not sign up to police LA. As a veteran and military expert told @peter-berger.bsky.social, the Marines stationed in LA are “being used against your neighbor."

"I think that makes a lot of military members uncomfortable, because that’s not what they signed up for."

The DEA once touted body cameras for their “enhanced transparency.” Now the agency is abandoning them, citing a Trump executive order.
