Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

by my count, there have been 92 total days that the United States federal government has spent shut down in it's history and so far 49% and counting of those days have come with donald trump as president

Greed is a helluva drug.

It’s not spammy at this level, it’s delightful and reminds us of the beauty and creativity in the world!

They’ve been playing the long game since the 80’s, slowly wearing down all our collective interests cloaked in “personal responsibility”. If you think they will give up when he dies, or after the next election, you are kidding yourself. We all have to stand up now, together. End fascism in America.

MAGA’s “Voter Fraud” Watchdog Votes in a Swing State. He Doesn’t Live There. A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec casts a ballot in one state and lives in another.

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Boeing paid its CEO $18 million for 4 months of work while taking away health care benefits from 3200 machinists in St. Louis who have been on strike for 2 months & were making as little as $18 an hour.

I say to the CEO of Boeing: End your greed. Sign a fair union contract NOW.

Maybe we should own the enemy from within. If this administration thinks they’re the good guys, I wanna be the bad guy.

All of this was preventable. And, it’s going to get a lot worse.

Excited Paige is joining! Looking forward to getting into this again next season!

Trump mandates all federal agencies send email blaming Dems for potential gov’t shutdown Workers call the partisan email "a vile slap in the face."

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted.

My story:

This is what leadership looks like. Love Phee!

That oughta do it!

That is awful.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

None of that diversity fuel for Sean! Just the best fuel. What a tool.

This one might be on me. At halftime, I called the game over. I’m sorry to bring my ability to curse a Minnesota basketball team to the Lynx. I thought that power was limited to the Wolves.

Pretty sure this was the start.

And restructuring. If we get through this, we will need to strengthen campaign finance, antitrust laws, judiciary overhaul, election laws, and the tax code. We have to bring the power back to the people it’s supposed to serve.

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC.

If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.
