KEEP UP THE PRESSURE. Jimmy Kimmel is coming back, but there’s a bigger picture here.
Nexstar and Sinclair own the most local ABC stations in the country. Both are waiting on FCC approvals for business deals that could shape their future.

The Special Election to fill assassinated MN Rep Melissa Hortman's seat is *tomorrow*.
It will decide the balance of power in the MN House, which is why she was targeted. She had brokered a power-sharing agreement.

Watch JD Vance's audition as Trump's replacement, preparing for when he and the gang of techno-fascist billionaires backing him—*cough* Peter Thiel *cough*—destroy America, carve it up, and then purchase the broken pieces for cents on the dollar so they can rule over tech-enabled dystopian kingdoms.
In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

Blaming the entire Democratic Party for the actions of three individuals who weren’t, as far as we know, even Democratic voters and then telling Democrats they need to tone down *their* hateful rhetoric is a hell of a combination
Rep. Michael Rulli: "The Democratic Party... your rhetoric needs to be toned down... when Joe Biden was in office, we listened, we watched, and we spoke, but we spoke fluently and we didn't speak with this hate... you tried to kill our president twice. You actually killed Charlie. Enough is enough."
