Kimmel’s estimated Tuesday viewership (on TV alone) was 6.26 million, but since ABC’s Sinclair & NextStar affiliates censored that number only represents 77% of the possible number. Factoring back in the blacklisting stations, it’s possible that his projected rating would have been 8.13 million.

The EPA is preparing a proposal that would revoke a critical 2009 legal determination stating that greenhouse gases are harmful to human health. That finding has been the backbone of U.S. climate regulations for over a decade.

As we’ve reported before, ICE facilities are rife with human rights violations. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is trying to hide them, formally requiring members of Congress and their staff to give seven days’ notice before visiting immigration detention centers.

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

Members of Congress are being denied access to an ICE facility in Manhattan, because the conditions inside are that bad.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Investigations are now underway into officers and ICE agents who fired crowd-control munitions at dangerously close range. In case after case, the situation only escalated when force was used against peaceful protesters.

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

What is happening in this country? The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly considering a reality show where immigrants compete in challenges for a shot at U.S. citizenship. Officials claim, “This isn’t The Hunger Games for immigrants.”

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

We want to take a moment to talk about tariffs because honestly, we didn’t realize how bad it was getting until we started comparing notes with friends and family. Stores across the country are already raising prices, and some of the increases are steep.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Priorities: Republicans cut money for affordable housing, boosted funds for the state AG (+ funded $12 Million for a “parking lot” in Lamberth’s district)
All while keeping hundreds of millions for private school vouchers.
