Couldn't the Romans have found the risen Jesus and crucified him again the following week? Repeat that enough and we could have a long weekend every week! #PraiseJudas

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

How are they going to run a one-hour tribute if they're scared of quoting him? Will they just dub over the original audio? "Haiti is infested with DELICIOUS CUISINE. Their migrants are FEEDING your women and DELIVERING YOUR DOORDASH at night. They are coming for your daughter next WITH FOOD."

#BREAKING: Sinclair says it will air a one-hour tribute to Charlie Kirk on its ABC-affiliated stations in the time slot that is usually occupied for "Jimmy Kimmel Live." The special will air on Friday, per a Sinclair spokesperson.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

poynter.orgNexstar’s takeover of Tegna would require an overhaul of FCC ownership rules - PoynterThe proposed sale would exceed the FCC’s 39% cap, igniting debate among broadcasters, unions and press groups

SNL should run a normal show, with the slight addition that every sketch has three or four men dressed up like ICE agents and FCC officials standing in the background looking menacing. Maybe they disappear Colin Jost in the middle of Weekend Update too.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

Dr. Vin Gupta@vinguptamd.bsky.social

Regardless of the disgraceful nonsense we will likely hear from this administration in the coming days on vaccine “recommendations,” Americas healthcare insurers issued a joint statement tonight saying coverage for Covid and flu shots will remain unchanged from prior years. Speaks for itself.

@npr.org one-upping itself this morning by not only having Kirk’s personal friend on as a neutral expert on his “free speech” legacy, and also letting him gloss the “Professor Watchlist” as “holding a mirror up to academia,” not as a well-documented tool of harassment for speech. At least they asked

"Genocide isn't a problem if the victims are more sexually conservative than you" isn't the take I would expect from the Murdoch press. #NYPost #KillThePrudes? nypost.com/2025/09/15/o...

It is over for the genocide deniers. Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide. Those who supported Israel's onslaught: You backed a genocide. You will never scrub the shame away.

It’s not just that it’s clearly intentional, it’s that it’s clearly intentional knowing that he’s being recorded. They know they can do whatever they want with complete impunity.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
