American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Protests outside an ICE facility were dwindling in size and at times ”low energy” in the days and weeks before President Trump called in troops, according to official law-enforcement logs.

This has nothing to do with the law - it is revenge. We know that is because Trump’s own appointed US Attorney just resigned because he refused to make a mockery of justice. So they brought in Trump’s hack personal attorney to do it. This is about abuse of power by Trump & Bondi.

The Supreme Court’s rationale for granting absolute immunity, *even for “sham” prosecutions*, is that it would prevent a president from going after his predecessor. So it protects former presidents (sort of), but no one else. Great job, CJ

Here is Jimmy Kimmel’s full monologue from tonight. Jokes on FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, Trump, Tylenol, etc.
bit.ly
Jimmy Kimmel is Back!
Jimmy Kimmel returns to the air and talks about all of the people who have reached out over the last six days including fellow late night talk show hosts, fans of the show, and those who don’t support what he believes but support his right to share those beliefs anyway, and he expresses that it was never his intention to make light of the murder of a young man, how important it is to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this, the Chairman of the FCC Brendan Carr telling an American company that “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” Trump saying he has no talent and no ratings, being fortunate to work at a company that has allowed us to do the show we want to do for almost 23 years, not agreeing with the decision to have our show pulled off the air last Wednesday, Trump making it very clear he wants to see Jimmy and other late night hosts fired, and solidarity from the right, left and those in the middle. Then Jimmy talks to the new FCC Chairman (Robert De Niro), and gets into Trump’s day addressing the United Nations, the escalator breaking, having trouble with the teleprompter, and the headache he’s creating with his buddy RFK over Tylenol.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

It’s wrong to murder people. Period. Charlie Kirk should not have died the way he did today. Charlie Kirk was a horrible hateful human being who continuously spoke of hate for women, black people, gay people, brown people. Both of these can be true at the same time.
