Jimmy Kimmel has a LOT of powerful Hollywood friends and is very well liked in the industry.
Here's a test for all of them.
Will they stand up for Jimmy and finally speak out against Trump and MAGA's fascist march?
Or will they both sides it?

Also, this is not a distraction. This is what is happening in real life.
Let’s be clear about what’s happening. Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low. There is no emergency. This is a test run. If the courts, Congress, and the rest of us let him get away with this, he’ll do it in every city that doesn’t capitulate to him.

If Cuomo is such a Democrat, why is he running on a third party line? He lost the nomination to be the Democrat. Let's not treat him like one. Ridiculous.
