This is capitulation. It is not the "Department of War." If CNN concedes on this point, they'll concede on any point.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Today, Josh Hawley -- who voted to overturn the 2020 election after fanning the Big Lie that the election was stolen from Trump, the same lie that fueled the Jan. 6 insurrection that Hawley was egging on -- is outraged the FBI reportedly analyzed some GOP senators' phone records in its Jan. 6 probe.

Durbin: “The president said he wanted to use American cities as 'training grounds for our military' to fight 'the enemy within.' Chicago is not the enemy. Our fellow Americans are not the enemy."

This is the BEST description of the shutdown.

Apple and Google block apps that crowdsource ICE sightings. Some warn of chilling effects.

Apple removes ICEBlock app from App Store Apple on Thursday removed the immigration enforcement tracking app, ICEBlock, from the App Store, citing "safety risks."

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime.

With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone.

Air travel has been so safe under Duffy.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.

They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.

But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.

RIP, Jamal.

Journalists at 3 Newspapers Quit Over Edits to a Charlie Kirk Story

*A Republican lawmaker objected to reference to Charlie Kirk holding “often racist and controversial views” in local Alaska news

Chris Murphy says Dems should lay down a simple marker for Trump: No Dem support for anything that funds his lawbreaking.

"if you want our votes, it can’t be for rampant lawlessness. This isn't a normal time...the world [is] watching to see what we stand for." 2/

In the last 30 years, there have been seven shutdowns (including this one). Four of those have occurred under Trump - including the longest one in history that lasted 34 days.
Republicans have control of the House, Senate and the White House. A shutdown means the president is weak. #MDIndivisible

Judge rules that federal government violated free speech rights of noncitizens engaged in pro-Palestinian speech

After a nine-day trial, a federal court ruled that Noem and Rubio misused their power to target international students for their protected political speech. When a government retaliates against individuals based on their words, we must ring the alarm bells loudly.

"Basket of Deplorables" didn't go far enough, I propose Cesspit of Fuckwits

Kimmel is back, but many Americans won’t be able to watch.

Two companies — Nexstar and Sinclair — control hundreds of local TV stations and have business deals pending Donald Trump’s approval.

They won’t air Kimmel tonight.

I’m pressing for answers on potential corruption.

Forgot I didn't cancel Paramount+ because I get billed annually. Make sure to do that one, too, and let them know you don't support fascism and censorship.

We would STILL HAVE @colbertlateshow.bsky.social if only people knew which apps were tied to CBS/Paramount and then stopped sending them money as people did with ABC/Disney. I deleted apps from CBS, Comedy Central and Paramount Plus. I wish more WOULD.

Even posting this makes me a wee bit nervous

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

This could be “the largest public corruption scandal in the history of the United States"—amounting to a $2B bribe from an Emirati royal and the sale of the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence chips to the UAE, despite national security concern. trib.al/iZEOnGq

Russia is abducting Ukrainian children and ripping them from their families. They must be released immediately and not be used as bargaining chips in negotiations.

That’s why I introduced bipartisan legislation with Senators Graham, Blumenthal and Britt to help Ukraine bring these kids home.
