Jimmy Kimmel broke his silence Tuesday night in an emotional return to ABC’s airwaves, by turns defiant, joking and somber as he addressed the controversy that temporarily sidelined his late-night show and set off a debate over free speech. nytimes.com/2025/09/23/bus… via @nytimes

The Trump-packed Supreme Court has once again allowed Trump to grab more power without deciding the case on the merits or providing any rationale. This insane practice of giving Trump free rein while the court takes its own sweet time is a recipe for authoritarianism.…

Nexstar, the largest TV broadcaster, needs Donald Trump's approval for a $6 billion deal. If approved, Nexstar would control TV stations reaching 80% of households — violating the cap set by Congress to protect against monopolies. This censorship of Kimmel reeks of corruption.
