The Kimmel monologue was 18 minutes of extraordinary, raw television that will be hated by the people who wanted him off the air for good. Trump and Brendan Carr lost this one as badly as it's possible to lose.

This disciplining of winners who go over their speeches by deducting donations from a charity is beyond tacky & vile. Whoever thought of this should be put in awards show jail to never touch one again.
And IDC if they end up giving the full 100K—the optics are still gross. #Emmys

not in the top 10 things that's objectionable about this but speaks to the idiotic illiteracy of the trump supporters that they watch apocalypse now and think kilgore is cool. the point of the character is that he sucks and the way he sucks is emblematic of why the US lost the war!

What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

The news isn’t being clear about this but to people hearing about these Minnesota shootings: Melissa Hortman is the Dem leader in the Minnesota House and was Speaker of the House 2019-2025. She’s probably the most influential state-level Democrat barring the governor.

Mark my words: right now, it's an editorial cartoon being killed by the brass of The Washington Post. Pretty soon, it's a major story about Trump's corruption being killed by the brass.

Americans are at risk of being sucked into Trump’s delusions again. For the media to continually allow Trump to lie and manipulate unchecked is gross professional malpractice
BREAKING: Donald Trump held a press conference littered with dozens of exaggerations and lies framed with "the likes of which nobody has ever seen," claiming to have won the 2024 election in a landslide, despite winning by less than 2%, and NOT ONE reporter corrected him.
Our media is worthless.

Now watching (for the second time) this film about a cat 🐈⬛ that really just wants to take a nap but the world is crumbling around them due to rising waters which show no signs of abating. In other words, the thing I remain most concerned about as a human. Good times, world is fine, cats remain cute📽️
