🧵 First it was Stephen Colbert. Then Jimmy Kimmel.

Voices that courageously challenged Trump have been driven from the airwaves.

Don’t be fooled by the feeble excuses crafted to placate: it isn’t about money, ratings, or “inappropriate” comments.

It’s about punishing anyone who dares to…. 1/6

ABC yanks Jimmy Kimmel’s show ‘indefinitely’ after threat from Trump’s FCC chair — CNN

Disney’s ABC is taking Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show off the air indefinitely amid a controversy over his recent comments about Charlie Kirk’s suspected killer.

Kash Patel fired the 'legendary' special agent in charge of Utah's FBI division a month ago. Her colleagues say she was “absolutely the best” agent in the bureau but she was a woman of color so she had to go:

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Based on what I'm seeing, Democrats think they can use this event to highlight their civility, steady hand and commitment to the high road for 2026 voters. Republicans, on the other hand, think they can use this to outlaw Democrats.

Thinking about the family of Representative Melissa Hortman & her husband who were assassinated at the hands of a radical MAGA shooter in June.

Melissa was doing such important work for the state of Minnesota & this country-we grieve her loss & demand strict gun reform legislation.

We’re a violent society armed to the teeth.

We need gun safety legislation NOW.

Traumatizing our communities, our children.

Exaggerating crime to “save” a city is a classic fascist play.

Mussolini did it.
Hitler did it.
Pinochet did it.

Now Trump’s doing it in D.C. — and the people who actually live there aren’t buying it.

Regarding that lying email from #SSA claiming no more taxes on SS:

The law introduces a temporary additional deduction of $6,000 per senior (age 65+), phasing out at incomes above $75,000 for singles and $150,000 for couples. This deduction is in effect for tax years 2025 through 2028.

Get Out The Vote PAC @gotvpac.bsky.social · Jul 4

Donald Trump and his acolytes are making a mockery of the nation that so many of us have been proud of for as long as we remember. It’s never been more important to vote them out and keep them out for the sake of our future.

SCOOP --> The cop who initially attested to Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 membership was subsequently suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct: Sharing case info with a sex worker. This undermines Trumpworld's smears.

New piece from me:
newrepublic.com/article/1940...

Trump’s Case Against Man Deported in “Error” Just Took Another Big Hit

Trumpworld claims Kilmar Abrego Garcia was in MS-13. But new information concerning the local cop who attested to that charge at the time raises fresh questions about it.
