Melania didn't write this. Duh. But the Trump Committee to Spread Propaganda has moved on, temporarily, from having everyone talk up how necessary Donald's tacky ballroom is to talking about how dangerous Jimmy Kimmel is.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

There isn't even the slightest amount of subtlety to this. Kimmel criticized the party in power, so the regulators ordered ABC to cancel his show. No different from what would have happened in the Soviet Union. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

GOOD FOR SCOTT PELLEY OF CBS NEWS. “Our sacred rule of law is under attack,” Pelley began his message. “Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses and into our private thoughts.”

There are no "illegal protests" under the First Amendment. This is just fascism brought to us by an ignorant old man drunk on power.
