America is free only when the media is competitive, independent, and accountable to the people.

This merger strikes a chilling blow against that freedom — and hands even more power to billionaires like David Ellison to decide what Americans see and hear, all while lifting scrutiny off the federal leaders who pushed it through. I am grateful to Attorney General Tish James for the protections she secured for workers.

This decision is a shameful monument to corruption and a betrayal that the American people won't soon forget.

Congrats Knicks fans - special team with a special star just coming through over and over again.

Going live on Netflix after the trophy ceremony with Zach, can’t wait to talk about this.

[Sean Fennessey @SeanFennessey]

It was always Brunson. The Chosen One.

[Bill Simmons @BillSimmons]

Absolutely horrific missed call on Wemby. Wowwwwwwwwwwwww. Cannot believe that!

[Samantha Ruddy @samlymatters]

The girl in your freshman social studies class who raised her hand to ask why there’s no white history month is running half the major news outlets.

[SportsCenter @SportsCenter]

Knick fans invaded Philly 😳

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Well that’s one of the most compelling answers to that question I’ve ever heard.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

The fact that the endorsement of Democratic leadership is a net negative with Democratic voters should really cause those in power to look in the mirror

[Matthew Belloni @MattBelloni]

ABC source says "no plans" to pull Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. At least not until @BrendanCarrFCC sees this tweet and asks that it be pulled.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Make no mistake. Trump used the powers of the federal government to threaten to pull ABC’s broadcast license. Bcuz of what a late night comedian said in his monologue. This is an outrageous attack on free speech & the free press. If we ALL don’t stand against this, then kiss free speech & a free press goodbye.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

THE PARTY OF FREE SPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!

[Sophia Bush @SophiaBush]

The First Amendment doesn’t exist in America anymore. Period. Fascism is here and it’s chilling.

[Ben Stiller @BenStiller]

This isn’t right.

[Desus MF Nice💯 @desusnice]

comedy is legal again

[Tommy Vietor @TVietor08]

This is absurd. If @jimmykimmel made a factual error, he should correct it, but suspending or canceling the show is a wild overreaction.

[Dan Pfeiffer @danpfeiffer]

The amount of cowardice being shown by the corporate media is galling

If the press won’t fight for the First Amendment, who will?

[Peter Hamby @PeterHamby]

Turns out Stavros was the surrogate Democrats needed the whole time

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Has there been a single corporate media story about MAGA reaching out to understand the frustrations of nearly half the Voters who went against Trump?

Let me know. I've been waiting 9 years for that piece.

Nevada's Senate race is still up for grabs.

Thousands of otherwise legitimate mail ballots in Nevada are missing signatures. Voters have until Tuesday (11/12) to “cure” them. Find out if yours is one and cure it today at https://t.co/wGQoG0q6ka.
