I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

Feels like it’s in the Ben & Jerry graveyard of discontinued flavors.
I know none of this is funny and I’m not sure what wall I’ve hit where I’m resorting to jokes, but I swear “Chipocolypse Now” sounds like something chips ahoy or the Keebler elves gave us in the 80s

Trump pledged to release all the Epstein Files.

The American people want him to, even the MAGA base.

But he won’t do it.

I wonder why…

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.
