I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Voters might not be happy with the Democratic Party, but this election proves that they know good Democratic candidates and messaging when they see them, and they’ll show up.

Grow this energy for 2026!

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

If we are taking in β€œtrillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest:

Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes

ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

Just so I'm clear:

TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal

TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft.

TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism.

Free speech, everyone.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney β€œstate censorship.”

Trump will go for martial law as he sinks in the polls and it becomes likely GOP will lose the House and Senate.

Miller has already used the word "invasion" and insurrection.

Folks, it's happening in plan sight. Trust the evidence of your eyes. Don't suffer from a failure of imagination.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
 
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other – to disturb, even – is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
 
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to – painful as it may be at times – is the freeing agreement to disagree.
 
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
 
The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

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.

I don't trust their version of any "transcript". I don't trust Ghislaine Maxwell. I don't trust Todd Blanche. And I sure as hell don't trust Donald Trump.

Release the Epstein files in their entirety.

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

That is a very good point. I wasn't thinking about the environmental cost, just the intellectual cost. Brava.

It’s probably just a coincidence that Bolton’s home was raided on the day some of the Epstein files are due to finally be released to Congress.

Is this that lawfare I keep hearing about?

This. AI can be a useful tool for mundane, rote things or for routine editing. But not for writing.

Being anti vote-by-mail is being anti-military. Imagine being asked to protect U.S. interests abroad and being denied the right to vote.

NEW: The bipartisan Senate Appropriations Committee has rejected Trump’s proposed $18 billion, 40% cut to the National Institutes of Health budget and endorsed a $400 million increase.

DO NOT GIVE UP! Our advocacy is working. Keep speaking up and calling your elected officials.
