Emma May Weber of Media Matters gives us a breakdown on all the ways Fix Noise has been ratcheting up the fear and paranoia to 11, you might say, when it comes to deportation...I think Weber does a good job of informing us of just what happened to what passes for debate on this issue; The Sainted Ronnie R looks a bit like Joan Baez on this issue when compared to the mouth breathers in Not Your Father’s Republican Party today...we also learn about the Center for Immigration Studies muddying the discourse waters, you might say, with our beyond useless corporate media (including Smerky and Harris Faulkner of course) playing along (NSFW/H, and I would suggest that you not watch this on a full stomach)...
...but the big story on Action News is that it looks like another comedian is out of a job, and this time it’s Jimmy Kimmel (Chris Hayes tells us about it)...yep, Trumpist lackey Brendan Carr of the FCC pretty much leaned on Disney/ABC to drop Kimmel (and by the way, if you’re looking to do something in protest, I would suggest moving any $$ you may have invested in BlackRock or Vanguard, since they’re majority shareholders in Nexstar, the company that proposed dropping Kimmel first)...kudos to Hayes for drawing a line on this right from Yambo The Coward to Putin, Orban and Erdogan when it comes to going after the media...Hayes also does a terrific job of connecting the dots, as it were, when it comes to who owns our corporate media (and all of this while #47 is con-vee-niently out of the country)...Hayes speaks with Ben Rhodes and David Enrich...”we’re not near the beginning of the playbook, we’re nearing the end of the playbook”...ugh (another ridiculous MSNBC edit – would have liked to have heard Enrich)...more here – and by the way, let’s not forget that the “Mouse Network” was also guilty of this nonsense from the bad Bushco years...
Update 1: Damn right (about Dems calling for Carr to quit, I mean).
Update 2: Looks like Our Treasonous Orange Man-Baby has a case of hurt fee fees...
While King Charles feeds Trump's fantasies of being a monarch at Windsor Castle, the streets of Windsor are flooded with protesters rallying against America's pedophile president. 🙌💪👏✊️👇 pic.twitter.com/svCHOGf8Va

...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ tells us more about Pumpkin Pol Pot destroying the “ag” industry as his trade war backfires, affecting in particular soybean farmers...part of me wants to ridicule these folks since they likely voted for Bronzer Beelzebub, but being the pin-headed lib that I am, I think we should do right by everyone doing essential labor to make a living in this country...”we’re not just losing sales (to China in particular), we’re losing trust” indeed...
...and Seth Meyers gives us “A Closer Look” on Cantaloupe Capone’s crypto deal with the UAE, in which we gave that country access to computer chips in return, according to a NYT investigation...so it looks like we have to hear the tortured retelling of the history of “Mr. Caboose” and “TikTok Jack”; I can’t imagine what I did to deserve living in this timeline, but it must have been pretty bad (I guess we’d better pay particular attention to Meyers now along with The Daily Show, since they may be the next programs to get pulled off the air)...
...and believe it or not, today is the 75th anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix.
