I mostly do, too, but have been disappointed by her extensive focus yesterday and today on Kimmel’s return. Way too much when other news is ignored as a result. @nicollewallace.bsky.social

This is a real thing being posted and circulated by the Department of Homeland Security, referring to undocumented immigrants as β€œforeign invaders” and urging good Americans to turn them in.
