What happened to Jimmy Kimmel is not about one comedian who said something he should not have said. The Trump administration and its enforcers want to control your speech, your behavior, even your public expressions of mourning. You are not allowed to criticize the president’s associates. You do not even retain the right to remain silent; you must make public expressions of emotions demanded by the administration and its allies or incur its disfavor, which can threaten your livelihood. This is the road to totalitarianism, and it does not end with one man losing his television show.

The Republican reaction to Kirk’s murder has been a campaign of state repression that ends with Trumpist toadies deciding what Americans are allowed to think, do and say. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The most Cowboys-Eagles thing ever.

An Eagles player spitting on the Cowboys quarterback before he’s even played a snap?

Football has never been more back.

RFK Jr. must resign.

Hey RFK, Jr. I just got vaccinated today for flu and COVID. Because...science.

WARNOCK: Did you demand that she fire career scientists or public experts at the CDC?

RFK Jr: Yes

SEN. CASSIDY (R) : “Do you agree Trump deserves the Nobel Prize for Operation Warp speed?”

RFK JR.: “Absolutely.”

SEN. CASSIDY: “But you just told Senator Bennet the COVID vaccine killed more people than COVID.”

RFK JR.: “….”😬 🤷🏻‍♂️

Every Republican during the senate hearing today gave RFK jr. several chances to not sound like an unhinged lunatic.

To his credit, RFK jr. never once took the bait.

WARNER: Do you accept the fact that 1 million Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't know how many died

W: You're the secretary of health and human services. You don't have any idea how many Americans died from covid?

RFK Jr: I don't think anybody knows that

W: How can you be that ignorant?

RFK Jr. should be in a padded room. The man is a walking f*ckjumble.

YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren RFK Jr. should resign.

A month ago, RFK Jr. called his CDC director “unimpeachable.”

Then she refused to sign off on his plan to put little kids’ health at risk, and he fired her.

RFK Jr. should resign.

This RFK Jr quack has gotta go 😓

rfk jr is literally a murderer

BREAKING: Senator Raphael Warnock just called for RFK Jr. to resign to his face.

RFK Jr. must resign.

RFK Jr. must resign.

"You're a charlatan. That's what you are." -- Cantwell to RFK Jr

RFK Jr in this hearing:

Fox News Reporter Jacqui Heinrich: The way that it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. And it seemed like Putin came in and steam rolled, got right into what he wanted to say and got his photo next to the president and then left

Heinrich: And what was really stunning to me as someone who has been in a lot of these press conferences a few things very unusual. You had Putin come out and address the press first. We are on U.S. Soil here

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.

John Bolton: "I thought Trump looked very tired up there. I mean, very tired. Not disappointed. Tired. And we'll have to reflect on what that means."

Most interesting analysis I heard was Abby Phillip's takedown of the poor White House decision-making (canceling lunch but holding presser, letting Putin speak first, no Q's). Process matters, no matter the outcome. On BBC, Barbara Starr caught that Putin threatened the Europeans from interfering.

Where are the Epstein Files? Is Trump in the files? Why is he hiding files Bondi “had on her desk.”

That’s what you’re supposed to be focusing on

Deflect. Deflect. Deflect.
EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN! EPSTEIN!

Are we all stupid and falling for it? Yes, I believe so. Just another major distraction from the Epstein files and the baffling things they are doing with Ghislaine Maxwell. Because this was not serious. And Trump got played again.

Wait, I thought this senile clown said he’d end the war in Ukraine on day one?

Anyone surprised? The "great" deal maker failed to make a deal, again.
