Be wary, Canada.

"Sundberg said it is unlikely that Canada would agree to U.S. officers operating without Canadian colleagues."

This misadministration is a Trojan horse. Don't let them in.

I pay my taxes and I don’t get healthcare.

I pay my taxes and schools are four days a week.

I pay my taxes and my road is gravel.

I pay my taxes and they close my hospital.

I pay my taxes and then pay for college tuition.

I pay my taxes and don’t have access to a library.

Balloon Juice - First They Came for Jim Comey and I Said Nothing Because He Has Caused So Much Damage In the Past

Most of us here despise James Comey for the terrible damage he has caused. But if we say he’s getting what he deserved, we are making a dangerous mistake. Today it’s James Comey. Tomorrow it’s Hilla...

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube.

It would be a shame for you to share it

To be clear, we watch it on YouTube if the show posts in reasonable time.

We watch it same night, if we can stay up that late.

We actually do watch Seth, Kimmel and Colbert on YouTube, even though Colbert gets DVR'd. Just easier.

Expatsy @expatsy.bsky.social · 26d

So Kimmel had less than 2 million viewers on ABC but over 20 million subscribers on YouTube. Looks like network traditional television is dead. Good riddance. He and Colbert and all the rest should go to Netflix abd build a huge audience.

Self-censorship based on self-interest.

Jay Rosen @jayrosen.bsky.social · 25d

"Taking away a broadcast license has so many legal obstacles and takes so long that the FCC doesn't even try."

This is important to understand. The real action is in self-censorship and merger approvals. view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/175...

Go Dubs #DubNation @boboconnor.bsky.social · 25d

The networks are losing to podcasting, I think. All these hosts can start their own new gigs. Kimmel will be on Colbert's show soon, I hear.

Overall, it's a mistake to mess with Americans' entertainment.

This is exactly it.
They're gonna cancel the 2026 elections is just a crybaby way of saying these folks don't want to door knock, donate, or phone bank.

More to the point, doomerism is not a political strategy. And pronouncing democracy dead is basically saying that you feel powerless and don’t intend to do anything, which is not exactly a hopeful message.

I miss the time when you could go days without even thinking about the president, when you assumed the government was working quietly in the background to keep you safe and improve your life, and now it’s this absolute sh*tshow of an administration every minute of every day 🤬

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.

the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear.

do not offer it to them.

It absolutely matters here that Pritzker was effective at sounding the alarm and plainly stating this would be unconstitutional in a profoundly radical and fundamental way, and showing he could rally practical popular opposition, which then gets spun as backing out over "legal headaches."

Trump shelved his plans to target Chicago as the next city for his domestic crime push after advisers warned him that sending in troops to help with local law enforcement (without buy-in from the state’s governor) could create legal headaches they want to avoid, sources familiar with the matter told CNN

Now he’s going to Memphis
