Gallego to Hegseth: "You will never ever be half the man that Sen. Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. I can't wait until you are no longer the secretary of defense."

Trump went after Tish James and James Comey because he can’t stand anyone who tells the truth and holds him accountable—and today, the judge made it clear that the courtroom isn’t his personal revenge tour.

Love that Newsom and his team protecting voting rights and trolling hilariously, but watching him speak last night right after hearing Mamdani’s was really illuminating. Mamdani was passionate, authentic and relatable. Newsom sounded so scripted and pandering in comparison. We need a better option.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

As many of you know, this week Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel under pressure from Trump. That is censorship, plain and simple. And when corporations act like this, we all pay the price, because free speech is a pillar of our democracy.

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy. Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation. If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

Well blow me over with a feather! Yes, "we can do this the easy way, or the hard way..." is Mafioso language make no bones about it.

Ted Cruz says that FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s statements about Jimmy Kimmel were “dangerous as hell” and compares them to the kind of rhetoric a mafia boss would use. Cruz says he believes Republicans will come to regret using government power in this way.

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

CNN has made the editorial decision to keep playing this clip on air for guests making sure they get the full context of what Kimmel said. Good.

1. Just so we’re clear, this is the clip that got Jimmy Kimmel’s show shelved by ABC. If I’m missing any other clips please let me know.

Tell me why wouldn't they wear masks during Covid, but now all they do is cover their mouth and nose?

#ICYMI: At least 11 Democratic New York elected officials were arrested by DHS after demanding access to an ICE detention facility at 26 Federal Plaza. This marks the latest instance of Democrats being detained while attempting to inspect such sites.

No you will NEVER satisfy a bully, and particularly one with a history of Mafia ties. They feed on evil, on a sadistic need to control; to step on you and then mash you under their BOOTS. That makes them joyful and the laugh as they watch you wither.

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”
