(and yes, MS Now has talking heads. But it lead with reporting from the field this hour, while CNN is just stuck in studios with video from affiliates.)

Also, how is it that scrappy little Versant-owned MS Now has correspondents in the streets of MSP talking to people, while CNN is just retired cops and anchors saying "there are conflicting reports"?

Oh, right, years of slashing CNN reporting staff to pay for idiots like Scott Jennings
CNN keeping "DHS says man was armed" in its chyron next to "man shot & killed" at all time is a choice, and not a good one.

Also, I am calling for a complete and total ban on middle-aged ex-cops and federal agents going on cable news to try to explain away clearly immoral actions whenever LEOs execute citizens.

Congressional Democrats need to wake up and shut the government down. No funding until these masked federal thugs brutalizing citizens are off the streets. It's time to take a stand against this. #Democrats #GovernmentShutdown

In a discussion with @aaronparnas.bsky.social, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker likens the first year in Trump's America to the "early days of Nazi Germany."

Rich Logis--the founder of Leaving MAGA--who once was a diehard Trump follower stated point blank that neither J.D. Vance nor Marco Rubio has what it takes to lead MAGA after Trump is gone. Instead he predicts MAGA is going to die.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%.

Trump won't even meet with them.

He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families.

What a bad deal for America.

Protect Seth at all costs. Also, this Closer Look packs twice as many laughs in half as much time as Stewart’s way overdone parody tonight. Both are appreciated but boy, Seth is just in peak form right now.

It’s not a question of whether you agree with Jimmy Kimmel.

When someone uses their government position to threaten speech they don't like, that undermines the First Amendment and our entire democracy.

Everyone should care about this—no matter what your political view is.

NEWS --> Anna Gomez, the lone Dem on the FCC, tells me the Trump admin's pressure to oust Jimmy Kimmel may be unlawful as well as unconstitutional. FCC chair Brendan Carr may be committing censorship in violation of federal law.

That and much more in my new piece:

I am not surprised my friend and longtime former colleague @franklinavenue.bsky.social wrote this fiery condemnation of Nexstar and Disney’s actions today. I am a bit wowed that Penske-owned Variety published it. Good on them.

This is absolutely insane, and criminal. Everyone, especially a Senator representing the state, has a right to speak out.

The fact that the agents felt protected in acting this way says everything.
