The backlash to Kimmel’s suspension is so intense, even Ted Cruz admitted Trump’s FCC move against ABC was “dangerous as hell.”
He just made every MAGA influencer look like a jackass for defending Carr's comments.

In 7 months, Trump and Republicans have done generational damage to the United States, our economy, our national security, our reputation, and our health care.
They're hollowing it out. Rich will get richer, and Putin will get what he wants.

When a president decides to disregard the will of the American people, you’re right, that’s the mark of authoritarian rule. The White House has notified Congress that it plans to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid funding that lawmakers had already approved, doing so without their consent.

One thing I think people need to get used to is that not everything works out the way it did in the past and, indeed, new things are going to burst forth from this chaos that can be energising and, I believe, lead to better things. And at the very least we may see some smarmy perverts proven wrong
