American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This is exactly right: it's real violence, but a performance at the same time

Locking Down the Pentagon Press Is Dangerous
Pete Hegseth’s proposed restrictions would harm the people whom both the military and the press are meant to serve.

What’s Really Going On in Portland, According to Police Reports

This has nothing to do with the law - it is revenge. We know that is because Trump’s own appointed US Attorney just resigned because he refused to make a mockery of justice. So they brought in Trump’s hack personal attorney to do it. This is about abuse of power by Trump & Bondi.

The Supreme Court’s rationale for granting absolute immunity, *even for “sham” prosecutions*, is that it would prevent a president from going after his predecessor. So it protects former presidents (sort of), but no one else.

Jokes on FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, Trump, Tylenol, etc.
Jimmy Kimmel is Back!
Jimmy Kimmel returns to the air and talks about all of the people who have reached out over the last six days including fellow late night talk show hosts, fans of the show, and those who don’t support what he believes but support his right to share those beliefs anyway, and he expresses that it was never his intention to make light of the murder of a young man, how important it is to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this, the Chairman of the FCC Brendan Carr telling an American company that “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Trump saying he has no talent and no ratings, being fortunate to work at a company that has allowed us to do the show we want to do for almost 23 years, not agreeing with the decision to have our show pulled off the air last Wednesday, Trump making it very clear he wants to see Jimmy and other late night hosts fired, and solidarity from the right, left and those in the middle. Then Jimmy talks to the new FCC Chairman (Robert De Niro), and gets into Trump’s day addressing the United Nations, the escalator breaking, having trouble with the teleprompter, and the headache he’s creating with his buddy RFK over Tylenol.
