Here’s what happens to the Hudson River tunnel project linking N.J. and N.Y.C. now that Trump ‘terminated’ it
President Donald Trump said the future of funding the $16 billion Gateway Tunnel is "up to him" but officials said they can't get the administration to clarify what that means.

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket
Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.
Fuck Columbus.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

An important distinction: Kimmel wasn't canned because of what he said, it's because the FCC chair and ABC's distributor created a blockade. Worst of all, ABC caved immediately. They will target specific news anchors they don't like next. Where we go from there is a very dark authoritarian place.

MAGA has now shifted into a full cancel culture movement. ABC announced it is pulling Jimmy Kimmel’s show indefinitely after backlash over his comments on the motives of the man who shot Charlie Kirk.

This has gotten so out of hand I don't even know what to say. Why do transgender people make conservatives so angry? I simply don't understand their fervor.

Both Reps Nancy Mace and Ronny Jackson made such calls. Musk, Loomer, and Walsh echoed them.
