During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The fact that he keeps bringing up the test confirms he failed the test.

I keep saying it. Dude is only considered a great conservative thought leader because he says "rich white guys should be in charge" and that's what those guys want to hear.

She said there was a storm of bullets. She probably used more bullets to shoot her dogs than that dude did this morning.

This is what happens when you don't fight him off the first time. He thinks he can just push them around some more and get more lunch money.

Give it a few hours until someone on his staff says how Ukraine is Jimmy Kimmel's favorite country to visit or something and he'll change his mind.

I can't sing the praises enough for @debunk-the-funk.bsky.social and Professor Dave Explains for participating in this debate against two of the biggest antivax voices out there and just demolishing them from the get-go youtu.be/hV3qDAzcQkA...

Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel.
The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact?
See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area.
2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week.
3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts.
4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company.
Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years.
Nothing you do will have greater impact.

Why are iPhone prices the same, but game consoles going up in price?

Trump exempted certain smartphone / computer parts from reciprocal tariffs

However, the US govt DOES NOT consider a video game console to be a computer

Game consoles are considered a separate category and subject to full tariffs

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
