Jimmy Kimmel's full monologue tonight

[matt abad @mattabadass]

@jadendmd @AMCHelps I hope not. I’m thinking the theater might just not have released the tickets yet since these imax dates were just announced. Can y’all confirm @AMCHelps? 🙏🏻

[matt abad @mattabadass]

@AMCHelps could I please get some help trying to reserve for Sinners in IMAX 70mm at Universal CityWalk? None of the showtimes are able to load the seating chart in the app for all dates and showtimes.

@dontcaIImyname Dude needs to be grateful he had as long a run as he did choreographing for Gaga. Where her art is now calls for a different movement than he can provide. He can stay in his Jojo Siwa aesthetic while the Haus moves on without him. 💅🏼

[matt abad @mattabadass]

@dontcaIImyname Put Stupid Love choreo side by side with Abracadabra’s and there’s the clearest difference of style and aesthetic I’ve ever seen. Neither Gaga nor Parris deserve the accusation he’s imposing on them.

@RobertGarcia All the commenters in here crying about inciting violence while Trumpet was literally indicted for conspiracy to defraud the US that led up to a violent riot and attempted coup. 😒 Y’all really have zero IQ.

[matt abad @mattabadass]

@SCE Reading all the replies to this tweet is validating yet frustrating af. Winds have significantly died down and were overall weaker than days ago when power was kept on. This facade of public safety is clearly all bullshit. I’ll rally behind any legal action taken at this point.

This is the most important video on 𝕏 today.

Bernie Sanders just grilled Biden’s FDA chief on chronic disease and corruption.

He held NOTHING back: “How many kids have died and gotten sick?”

Sanders: “The food and beverage industry spends hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars on lobbying and on campaign contributions. You tell me the role that they are playing in destroying the health of America’s children.”

Califf: “Well, I’m not gonna contest your comment about the amount of money spent on lobbying … but a lot of the changes that those of us who are interested in better health would like to make are blocked at the level of legislation for reasons—”

Sanders: “I’m still not hearing you. What is the reason that our kids are unhealthy? … Are you prepared to tell us that this committee, this Congress needs to take on the food and beverage industry, whose greed is destroying the health of millions of people?”

Califf: “Well, I’m not gonna castigate the people that work in the food and beverage industry—”

Sanders: “You’re not?”

Califf: “No.”

Sanders: “That is your job!”

Califf: “No … it’s to point out how to make progress in this area.”

“So, there needs to be a plan and it needs to be implemented in a mature, thoughtful way across the country.”

Sanders: “How many years does it take to do it? 14 years enough time? How many kids have died and gotten sick during those 14 years?”

Califf: “I want to see it change as much as anyone, but we have to do it in a way that considers all the factors—”

Sanders: “Protecting the interests of the food and beverage industry.”

god himself was in that studio

Why don't we discuss the fact that Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Larry Ellison own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans?

Part of the answer is that the people who own the media are doing phenomenally well. They aren't interested in highlighting massive levels of inequality.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

pretty telling that the entire liberal side of media has been blaming kamala’s electoral defeat on trans ppl & “woke” and not her refusal to separate from biden on gaza or running a nikki haley style campaign w liz cheney for the past week. can’t be more out of touch w reality.

[Jake Werner @jwdwerner]

She only needed to flip one percent of the vote or less in each.

It wouldn’t have been enough for a governing majority—she still would have lost the popular vote. But then today we’d be discussing abolishing the electoral college instead of organizing mass deportations.

[Jake Werner @jwdwerner]

Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin ended up being so close that Harris might well have won the election if she had leaned into Walz-style populism instead of Cheney-style conservatism.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

It should come as no great surprise that a Democratic Party which has abandoned working class people would find that the working class has abandoned them.

While the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

And they’re right.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

I commend President Biden for stepping down. His infirmities were evident to any unbiased observer from the beginning. It was this progressive deterioration — and his abandonment of Democratic Party principles — that prompted me to enter the race and ensure American voters had a viable, vigorous alternative to Donald Trump.

Yet the response of the DNC was to try and hide President Biden’s degeneration from the American public and disable democracy to ram him through to his party’s nomination.

Many Americans fear that the same DNC elites are about to rig the nominating process again to get a monumentally unpopular vice president to step into President Biden’s shoes.

I call on the Democratic Party to return to its traditional commitment to democracy and exemplify it with an open process. Instead of anointing a candidate hand-picked by DNC elites, the party should use neutral polling to identify the candidate who can best beat Donald Trump. The delegates should then select a nominee based on this information.

If they had done this to begin with, I would not have had to leave the Democratic Party.
