What does Jimmy Kimmel really think about Charlie Kirk? His own words:

"Senseless murder."

"A lot of extraordinarily vile responses."

"Some people are cheering this, which is something I won't ever understand."

Why is the FCC is really targeting him?

He went on to make fun of Trump for 10 mins.

We model some plausible birth patterns for an ancient peasant farming society (Roman Egypt) and think through the implications for daily life.

Families in Gaza are starving to death. Meanwhile, Trump & Netanyahu are using US taxpayer dollars to replace international aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries — leading to even more deaths.

ENOUGH.

I led 20 Senators in calling on Trump to stop supporting this barbarity:
Senate Democrats urge U.S. to stop funding GHF, resume support for U.N. food distribution in Gaza as more starve
Senate Democrats told the secretary of state they have "grave concerns" about the U.S. role in financing GHF, the main group distributing aid in Gaza.

🚨 We just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files 8-2 in our @oversightdemocrats.house.gov subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win by Oversight Democrats.

We don’t need more files. We needed to believe the women.

Epstein’s victims told the truth for decades. They were ignored, silenced, erased.

Now Trump is panicking—and that’s our signal.

Believe them. Demand justice. Not later. Now.
