This week’s main story is about ABC’s move to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air, what it has to do with Brendan Carr and the FCC, what it means for free speech in the United States, and why it’s all giving Donald Trump such sweet dreams you could break his bedsheets.

"These are not the descriptions of normal, well-adjusted 50-year-old man. They are the descriptions of a sociopath. A predator." And it's clear that everyone not only knew it, but celebrated it and laughed about it.

The NSFW version of the Epstein book proves that Trump knew exactly who and what his buddy was.

Trump's ICE Spent Half a Million on Tricked-Out Trucks for a Hype Video

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave.

They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.
