KEY to the story about ABC suspending Kimmel's show: Nexstar and Sinclair, two big owners of ABC-affiliated stations, both need FCC approval for pending deals. With a lot of $$ on the line, both have reason to curry favor with the Trump admin. Both decided to yank Kimmel's show.

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.
"All I can say for me in the work I do is that I want to create a space that takes our disagreements seriously, that takes the stakes of them seriously, the consequences for people seriously, but does so without deepening our divisions irreparably. We are going to have to live here with each other"

Also, our standard now is that it had to have caused “concern” for Ghislaine Maxwell to be problematic?? Ummmm…obviously sexually abusing minors never caused her “concern” BECAUSE SHE PARTICIPATED IN IT
On left:
ABC: Ghislaine Maxwell told "Blanche that Trump had never done anything in her presence that would have caused concern."
On right:
Maxwell said same about Epstein, under oath.
DOJ 2022: "Simply put, the defendant lies when it suits her."
Whatever is the truth, she's no source for it.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.
Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

REALITY CHECK:
Texas Democrats earn 45% of the vote—but under the GOP’s new gerrymandered map, they’d get just 21% of the seats.
That’s not representation. That’s rigging the system.
