Kara Swisher on Jimmy Kimmel: "Nexstar is trying to do a very large merger with Tegna, and so they will do whatever it takes."
Anderson Cooper: "That's an important point, because that merger would require the approval of the FCC."

Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.

Shooters are not primarily this or that political flavor. They are almost always confused men with easy access to deadly weapons.

Vance is lying (again).
Social Security has repeatedly debunked this. The actual claim is that 40 percent of direct deposit fraud occurred via calls to the agency. That is wholly different, and massively less, than 40 percent of calls being fraudulent.

JD Vance straight up lies on Fox & Friends, claims 40 percent of people calling the Social Security hotline are "actually committing fraud."

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Soon Trump will make it illegal to sell stocks in companies affected by his tariffs. Only MAGA loyalist stock trades to be allowed.

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.
