Brian is correct, but what a world we have to live in that we have to note out loud that a for-profit corporation decided to continue airing a very profitable show.
These days, it's notable whenever a major media company ignores Trump's pressure and stands with talent. So let's note that Disney has renewed Jimmy Kimmel's contract for another year

It’s not a resignation when you never actually had the job. The waste, fraud and abuse of the Trump admin continues.

The cruelty is the point
NEW: Rural health is in crisis. Congress created a $50B rescue package and gave states just weeks to compete for a slice of it.

$3.75B hinges on whether states pass a series of Trump-approved policies, including restrictions on SNAP.

We reviewed Gregory Bovino and his agents’ tactics in Chicago. From a shooting to Slim Jims, the feds’ poor tactics made for needless safety risks for the public and the officers themselves. “Simply reckless,” former police superintendent said.

Live your life in such a way that hundreds of your fellow students don’t protest to ensure your essay receives a failing grade
University of Oklahoma students gathered to protest a teaching assistant’s suspension Friday.

The instructor was placed on leave after she had given a failing grade to an OU student who cited the Bible as her only source.

Feds gassed and tackled people in Elgin today, the same day Kristi Noem was in Chicago for a Christmas photo op, after a few weeks of relative quiet.

I'm remembering that old story about groundskeepers at Versailles who would only turn the palace fountains on when the king came by.

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

The follow up HAS to be “can you name the 8 wars?”. Anything else is irrelevant. Stop letting him say crazy shit with no pushback!
COLLINS: You're expected to get the FIFA peace prize. What you say to people who say it conflicts with your pledge to strike Venezuela?

TRUMP: I've settled 8 wars. I don't know that I'm getting it. I've been hearing about a peace prize and I'm here to represent our country. But I did settle 8 wars.

Anyway, if you're surprised at all about the SCOTUS decision, remember

- Bush v Gore chose the president on such nakedly partisan grounds they put in the opinion that it couldn't be used as future precedent

- Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito & Barrett all served on W's election legal team
