CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance.

Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna.

See how this works?

Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's show highlights exactly what @inaeoh.bsky.social warned us about in the wake of The Late Show's cancellation:

"The end of Colbert signals a dark new chapter in Trump’s authoritarian slide. If this can happen to...a storied franchise, this can happen to anyone."

Trump floats pulling TV licenses after Kimmel suspension Trump said networks critical of him could lose licenses, echoing threats before Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.

Trump said that federal regulators should revoke the broadcast licenses of late-night hosts who speak negatively about him.

This is massively important and @arkdems.org need to be all over it. This poor state is subsidizing resegregation at the cost of almost four hundred million dollars to taxpayers, including the minority and rural families whose schools are about to be ripped out from underneath them. #arpx #arkansas

Nationwide anti-Trump protests planned for Labor Day: what to know

A number of protests against President Donald Trump are set to take place across the country on Labor Day.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Look what Trump and Hegseth have already made our military look like. How long can we endure this shame?

Opinion | Trump’s Domestic Deployments Are Dangerous. For the Military. The nation’s most trusted institution must not be reduced to a political tool.

In @nytopinion.bsky.social

“The military I love is under threat — from its own commander in chief,” writes our columnist David French. Using the U.S. military against domestic foes “risks fracturing its bond with the American public and diminishing its ability to recruit.”

Marco Rubio pulled the plug on a US medical program that fly severely injured children from Gaza to receive medical attention they so desperately need. Once treatment is provided, the child & accompanying adult are sent back to their country. Nothing quite says evil bastard than a face like this. ⬇️

MAGA’s really out in full force today, guess we struck a nerve. Lots of comments like “liberals don’t know anything about respect” and “Trump was just showing respect to Putin.” Uh huh… respect for who exactly? Putin? Russia? Yeah, no! We’re good.

Sen. Bryan King, R-Green Forest, says consulting firm paid $16.7M to oversee Gov. Sanders' Franklin Co. mega-prison project is stonewalling legislators opposed to the project: "It's very hard when Vanir will not answer questions. They won't even return phone calls."

Teenagers in Washington D.C. say the federal police takeover makes them feel unsafe When President Trump announced his crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C., the local U.S. Attorney said she wanted to focus on juveniles. But experts say harsher punishments don't deter criminals.

DC will not stand idle as this administration tries to take our people and our home.

A family's fishing trip ends with the dad at 'Alligator Alcatraz.' Here's their story Civil rights lawyers say many migrant detainees in Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz" are being barred from meeting regularly with attorneys and are being held in dangerous conditions.

Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work.

The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.

“Would have never happened if I were President.”

Imagine spending all that time and energy to become an FBI agent and then President Mumbles McFacepaint orders you to march around the yuppiest neighborhoods of Washington DC in tactical gear so drunk college kids can jeer at you.

Gavin Newsom: “Wake up America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. These guys are not screwing around. The most corrupt president in history. He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. He is a lawless president. Wake up America.”

Watching video today of ICE agents roaming the streets of American cities and reading about the anger and fear of Bostonians during the Fugitive Slave crisis is a reminder of why it is so important that the institutions charged with interpreting the past be allowed to do so without interference.
