Trump White House Pressured Disney to Censor … Jimmy Kimmel The Trump White House pressured Disney to censor Jimmy Kimmel after the then-president was angered by the late-night host making fun of him.

Reupping this from 2023 from @arawnsley.bsky.social and me, for no particular reason www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

The companies that own local television stations and radio stations are Sinclair broadcasting group, Nextstar media they own NewsNation and shares of The CW, TEGNA and COX media group.

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

The last 24 hours have made clear that independent and pro-democracy media is more important than ever. I founded Democracy Docket in the crucible of 2020 to be just that.

Can’t believe the CDC. Can’t believe the DoJ. Can’t believe the BLS. Can’t believe the FBI.

But I believe in us.

BREAKING: Republican Thomas Massie speaks out against the pathetic release of the already released Epstein documents, equating it to the Binders Trump gave to influencers a few months ask.

I'm aware that the President likes to go on television and beg me to call him to ask for troops.

I find it strange, as Chicago doesn't want troops.

I also have experience asking him for assistance – just to have the rug pulled up from underneath me when execution meets reality.

BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges.

This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two.

Every day, we inch closer to fascism.

Bluesky has been critical to Democracy Docket's growth and reach. Nate Silver is an idiot.

This is why the medical experts are leaving the CDC.

URGENT: U.S. human screwworm case just reported

This parasite can devastate cattle by laying eggs in wounds of warm-blooded animals—eventually killing livestock. The beef industry could be at serious risk

Trump just fired 5,600 USDA and 1,300 CDC employees, while pushing budget cuts of 44% at CDC

Criminal charges anyone? Trampled human rights, protocols for how prisoners should be treated… and I’m just guessing here, corruption?

Judge Orders That ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Detention Center Be Shut Down for Now

A federal judge ordered that no more immigrant detainees be sent to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Florida Everglades, and that much of the facility be dismantled. The ruling rebuked the state and federal governments for failing to consider potential environmental harms.

Hey Kash, ever been to Mar-A-Lago? Piles of classified docs leaked to our foes… just in case you want to give the appearance that you ACTUALLY give a crap about National Security.

Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Provided that there will be history books, this will be an important entry in them.

What real leadership looks like.

Thank you, President Barack Obama, for standing strong with California, defending our rights, and fighting for the people of this nation.

Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.
