Happy Friendship Month! It’s Wednesday. There are 405 days until the midterm elections. The president craps himself at the UN, a big win in Arizona and a great night for the First Amendment.

Bitter Megyn Kelly Whines That Jimmy Kimmel Got Treated Better Than Her The former NBC News host noted Jimmy Kimmel—who previously used blackface—did not advocate for her when she was “canceled” in 2018 over remarks related to blackface.

1. Bitter, party of one! 2. She got paid out $69 million 3. Blackface defense as a journalist versus making an accurate assessment of the sitution as a comic is not the same. 4. Would you like cheese with that whine? www.thedailybeast.com//bitter-megy...

Checking in on this

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

Exactly this

Jennings: He does not have a right to have a TV show where he lies his ass off to the American people and attacks half this country on a nightly basis

Phillip: There are plenty of people over on another network who lied about the last election, who denigrate half the country every single night.

So let me see if I have this right, the same Republicans who are saying Charlie Kirk was murdered for exercising his freedom of speech because he said things some didn’t like, are punishing people for exercising their freedom of speech because they said things they didn’t like?

So the white dude from Fox News said we should kill mentally ill homeless folks, he apologizes and they’re good; @karenattiah.bsky.social posts an accurate quote and says she’s not in the mood to mourn and gets bounced.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "Let's go. This is it. We need to wake up. We cannot survive if he rigs not just Texas, but he goes to Indiana, goes to Missouri, goes to Ohio, goes to Florida. We have to have other governors of like mind, and there are many, to now do something, not just say something."

A late night message from Gavin Newsom

Oops

Shut this concentration camp down!

Attorneys for a Venezuelan man who collapsed inside “Alligator Alcatraz” are accusing the facility of failing to provide adequate care for sick detainees.

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

Colbert isn’t the news! It’s a comedy show. It’s not in the news division.

“In or about the summer of 2000 … Maxwell recruited a 17-year-old girl named Virginia Roberts from the parking lot of Mar-a-Lago to provide Epstein with massages. Over the next several months, Virginia was paid to provide Epstein with sexualized massages at his Palm Beach residence ...

We’re gonna have to put an asteroid next to the winner of this year’s Little League World Series.

Some of the top teams were denied visas to enter the U.S.

Time for FIFA and the IOC to make a backup plan. The U.S. is no longer a viable host country.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September

Daniel got arrested for putting a know your rights table.

LAPD this is so unnecessary and uncalled for. This is tyranny at the city level.

The crazy thing about Donald Trump posting an AI video of Obama getting arrested is that Trump once had someone organize a party for him and invite a bunch of “young women” and it turned out Jeffrey Epstein was his only other guest.

He’s just stating the facts…

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.”

I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion.

Part I

Just heard that my friend and mentor David Gergen has passed away. He was a titan of a man and his loss is one for all of America. He took me under his arm when I stumbled into Harvard and guided me for years after. I am saddened by his loss.
