No one has time for her crap.

Lincoln’s Newport Arch was built by the Romans in the 3rd century and is still very much in use by vehicles today, some 1,800 years later- this is pretty amazing!

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter.

It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote.

And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

I never thought I’d say this, but I agree with MTG 100%.

And for the record, I’m not paid for any of my opinions. Never have been, never will be.

“Let us develop respect for all living things. Let us try to replace violence and intolerance with understanding and compassion. And love.” - Jane Goodall

Thank you for everything, Jane 🤍

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

I watched Jimmy Kimmel last night, and it was so inspiring. He was humble and bold serious and funny.
This felt like a bit of hope 💙🙏💙

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

Jimmy Kimmel’s return episode was watched by 6.3 million viewers on broadcast TV.

These numbers are triple his normal viewership, and it’s important to note 23% of households didn’t have access to show due to preemption by Sinclair/Nexstar.

Monologue was viewed over 25 million times online.

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

Awesome!
Thank you for sharing 🙏💙

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert.

Fuck Disney, Brendan Carr and Donald Trump.

We "aint seen" anything yet!
Full blown coming up..

House Democratic Leadership Statement on the Suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Congrats to Jimmy Kimmel for never bending the knee.

Don’t let this make you quieter.

Get louder.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Moskowitz: "We just heard there were no riots on the right. We're literally sitting in a building where there was a giant riot by supporters of POTUS. We also heard only leftists have said Trump is a Nazi. In 2016, the current VP said 'Trump is either a cynical asshole or he's America's Hitler'"

MOSKOWITZ: Will you be opening up an investigation into the Epstein state for putting out a fake document w/the president's signature linking him to the world's largest pedophile ring?


PATEL: On what basis?

M: They literally put out a fake document according to the president!

P: Sure, I'll do it

The passing of Paul Newman (2008), Sean Connery (2020), Sidney Poitier (2022), and now Robert Redford (2025) signals the slow disappearance of a certain type of 20th century figure: men who embodied classic style in a way that reflected their taste, rather than a professional stylist.
