“I am disheartened and sad…that we cannot demonstrate our sympathy for the beleaguered, that we are told immigrants, which most of us are or descended from, are unwelcome, that we cannot show our frustration in peaceful demonstration, and that we can be attacked and even killed by Federal troops.”

This ought to be engraved somewhere.
Michael Eisner @Michael Eisner X.com Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment? The "suspending indefinitely" of Jimmy Kimmel immediately after the Chairman of the FCC's aggressive yet hollow threatening of the Disney Company is yet another example of out-of-control intimidation. Maybe the Constitution should have said, "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, except in one's political or financial self-interest." By-the-way, for the record, this ex-CEO finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. 10:17 AM • 9/19/25 • 208K Views
Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.
It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.
“They should’ve come here legally,” MAGA says. Well, they did. One Afghan interpreter was arrested after a green card appointment. Another? Detained after his asylum hearing. Both helped U.S. troops. Now ICE wants to deport them.
If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

Yes. This is in fact what each VP did.
No “President” has a right to strip citizenship and deport people who challenge his policies. That’s fascism, not America.
I received this email from the SSA as well. It is a complete lie. Social Security income is still taxed — the Big, Ugly Bill did NOTHING to change that.
Welcome to 1984, folks.
My respect and admiration of @aoc.bsky.social grows by the day. I think she’s built for this moment and I think she’s going to ultimately hold a very special place in our nation’s history.
What matters most is the harm that will be done to people’s lives if Trump’s budget becomes law. I'm grateful to Stacy for talking with me yesterday and sharing her story about just how much is at stake for her family.
Explain the Big Ugly budget bill to me like I’m five…
Seriously, this demo is a must see—anyone can understand it.
Share it with family and friends.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs for Americans on day one. He lied.
Now, he’s repaying the states that voted for him by increasing their health care costs with his Big Beautiful Betrayal.
After the Atlantic published the texts this morning, Tulsi Gabbard is confronted today on why she lied in her testimony to the Senate yesterday. She says she misremembered.
It gets worse.
This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.
They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Gov. Andy Beshear of Kentucky sharply disagreed with a decision by Gov. Gavin Newsom of California to host Steve Bannon on Newsom’s new podcast this week, saying Bannon’s voice should not be elevated “on any platform ever, anywhere.”
House Dems' text chains lighting up with apoplexy.
"Complete and utter meltdown," says one member.
Members floating marching onto the Senate floor.
Others urging primaries not just for Schumer, but any Senate Dem who votes for the GOP bill.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.
Do not let anyone play games with you.
They are going to do that anyway! At least use the power you have to try to fight against Musk and DOGE.
no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good
Now that Schumer and Dems have abjectly decided to cave, when they scream about the cuts that Musk and Trump continue to undertake in violation of *their own CR,* it will only sound all the more hollow. Great job all around, guys.
