Jimmy Kimmel did not lie.

And he did not disparage Charlie Kirk or take joy in his death.

He mentioned that Republicans were scrambling to show the shooter wasn’t one of them.

Which was true.

He didn’t say the shooter WAS one of them, just that they were trying to prove otherwise.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.
RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

What an incredible shame. This is a debt we deeply owed to these people and we as a nation have forsworn it.

The problems with Social Security are extremely fixable, but the billionaires and millionaires who run this country would rather let the whole thing collapse than pay $10,918.20--the maximum amount anyone in this country pays annually in Social Security tax--into the system.

DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE. I’d call my senator, BUT I DON’T HAVE ONE BECAUSE I LIVE IN DC.
A shutdown would give Donald Trump the keys to the city, state, and country.

Musk has said he wants a shutdown, and reporting has shown he is already making plans to use the shutdown to expedite his destruction of key government programs and services.

Not to belabor the obvious, but this only became a "ruse" when people started ignoring him

It's the same well-worn playbook when Rs say something racist / sexist / etc, get "wtf??" in response, and claim they were just joking

Trans people exist.

You can remove the T from any site or page that you like - you can't remove them from existence. They were here long before the current attack and they'll be here long afterwards as well.

Trans people exist. They're not going anywhere. And I'm standing with them.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

I really just need somebody, anybody, impacted by anything trump does to retain me to argue in federal court that he's not actually the president because of the 14A bar.

No, Trump v. Anderson doesn't foreclose it.

But need a plaintiff with standing
🚨 Trump will instruct the federal government tomorrow via an executive order to not recognize that transgender people exist and exclusively recognize people as their sex assigned at birth.
