I wonder if Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert would be amenable to temporarily moving to two swing districts and running for office in 2026.

Canceling Stephen Colbert and now Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert - and Matthew Dowd is horrendous- and pure fascism.
Shame on those networks for caving
We have a right to freedom of speech and we want it back.
This is textbook fascism.

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

Kimmel should issue the most florid and over the top apology imaginable, wheedle his way back onto the air, and then the first night back do the exact same speech again, let’s Morbius this bitch

You know how everyone now says they were always against the Iraq war when most people were for it? Let’s just skip the step of going to war with Iran, because one day everyone will say how they were always against it… except the weirdos, who just love bloodshed and bombs.

Congress appropriated the money for transportation projects. If Congress wanted to tie it to immigration for some reason they could have, but they didn’t. A Transportation Secretary is not Congress.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident.
He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.
