But Fox sits tight after its host Brian Kilmeade says homeless people should be euthanized (followed later by a weak 30-second apology).
ABC: What a disgrace. Taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air for this:
“We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.”

Who will step up and fight?
Who will bend the knee and be complicit?

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military
If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.
This is inexcusable. She should resign.
