Okay Dr. John Carter

When asked about mourning Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump changed the subject to construction of the White House ballroom, renewing concerns about the Obamas’ aloofness.

Opinion | I’ve dedicated my career to promoting free speech on college campuses. Here’s why the murder of a red state college dropout by another red state college dropout means it’s time to fire liberal professors in blue states.

Charlie Kirk’s killing has proved that Bari Weiss was right all along. by Bari Weiss

I’m sorry, America, on behalf of the Vikings and the community of Minnesota for the football product that is being broadcast nationally tonight. We strive for better entertainment experiences.

Why are Republican elected officials sending all their kids to college? I think we should ask each and every one, especially those in IVY League schools right now. They should drop out. Right?

America was never meant to be quiet. It was never meant to be obedient. It was never meant to sort its people into us and them. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

"Adolescence" is rightly cleaning up at the Emmys. It's a hard watch and brilliant and so well made. Essential.

Watching the Charlie Sheen documentary. I didn't recognize Denise Richards. She's like Kristi Noem, only nice and honest.

JUST IN: 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' wins the Emmy for Best Talk Series

i love love love that stephen colbert is winning all these emmys on cbs, the same network that cowardly canceled his show

Stephen Colbert is all grace and love. What a man. What a true Christian.

This is besides the point and I hate this kind of internet discourse. I didn’t say he was MAGA. I am from Nebraska. I don’t need country music stars explained to me. I said it is fascinating that ONLY country musicians are performing on the broadcast. It’s very atypical.

Cristin Milioti won the Emmy for best actress in a limited series or TV movie for her role in “The Penguin,” snapping the “Adolescence” win streak at the ceremony. Follow live updates here. nyti.ms/4goVHKh

Now we are seeing the claim that "Unvaccinated kids are healthier." Every credible study shows the opposite of the claim: unvaccinated kids aren’t healthier...they’re at higher risk of dangerous, preventable disease. Again, every credible study shows the opposite of the claim.

This is truly the best way to expose each and every single one of these Republicans ini at a time

I don't care what that weird dweeb Stephen Miller says or does, or what weird photo-ops Dog Killer Barbie tries, or what Larry Ellison and his nepo baby son do to warp poor Paramount and CBS. ICE will always be hated. And Israel has lost the world. www.thewrap.com/hannah-einbi...

The way I just sat up. Okay Stephen Graham!

he always acts like he's commenting from the cheap seats instead of the one emceeing the ceremony

Wow that’s a lot no wonder the line at Panera Bread was shorter

We do not know that he was murdered by a groyper. I continue to be shocked how people have jumped to this conclusion and stating it as absolute fact. I spend hours every day monitoring Neo-Nazis and I’m not saying it!

Fascinating that the only performers tonight are country musicians. It’s fine. Everything is fine.

MAGA is the weirdest cult on Earth

Tell me I’m not the only one who’d pay to watch a 5th grader grill Trump with 20–30 questions pulled straight from what they learned in 4th grade last year. No prep, no script...just an impromptu Q&A. That would be pure comedy gold.

"Severance" star Britt Lower wrote "Let Me Out" on her acceptance speech paper at the #Emmys, a shoutout to her Helly R character

Oh my memory is too long. No fun.

U.S. President Donald Trump says he would attend the funeral of conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Arizona.

And if I were being paid, you’d probably be one of the people arguing that whatever I’m saying is merely something I was told to say for a paycheck

"I knew that it didn’t matter if trans people were involved. I knew it didn’t matter if no trans people were within a hundred miles of the shooting. I knew, instinctually, that trans people would somehow be blamed for it."

Individuals are being targeted on hit lists for their opinions. Private companies are being coerced into monitoring employee social media. They are weaponizing Charlie Kirk to curtail your free speech rights.

Brian Kilmeade has advocated killing all homeless people. Some liberal critics say that may be going too far.

Five reasons the Democrats should remain silent while Trump calls them radical terrorists.

After this week, it's so nice seeing Hunter Schafer up at the Emmy's.

writing your acceptance speech on the back of your therapist notes may be THE most hollywood thing ever

This is certainly a different take I can get behind

"Arias Cristobal never set out to be part of a national political debate, but that too has been a tricky component of life after detention. She certainly didn’t imagine that her story would come to exemplify the excesses of a presidential administration."

A useful reminder as to what we are entitled to expect from the FBI; are we getting that now?

Charlie Kirk’s death raises new questions about Joe Biden’s advanced age.

Alright, I've been told the charity still gets all the money and the Emmys charity clock is just a fun joke, so I'm back to liking it again and have deleted the post about changing my mind from liking it to not liking it. I still like the pitching clock in baseball.

Owen Cooper, the 15-year-old star of Netflix’s “Adolescence,” won the Emmy for best supporting actor in a limited series, the youngest actor to ever win the category. Follow more updates on the award show here. nyti.ms/46fH33y

This Emmys money/speech time nonsense is really terrible. CBS is quite happy to be state television.

Another shot of West Thumb.

Alright, alright. After some friendly folks made some persuasive arguments, I'm gonna delete my post about liking the charity clock on the Emmy speeches and change my position. I now do NOT like it. But I still like the pitching clock in baseball.

Please listen to the strong argument Justice Sotomayor makes for our freedoms.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

The City of West Hollywood has issued this statement after coming under fire for lowering its flags to half-mast, which the city did in response to President Trump’s proclamation.

it was nice of those boobs to bring sydney sweeney as their plus one

I’m sorry, but I spent 15 years with DC police as a reserve. This national guardsman thinks he’s going to call DC Police and have the individual arrested for playing a soundtrack song from Star Wars while walking down the street? Get the fuck out of here. These guys need some more education.

Own Cooper was so incredible in Adolescence. I'm glad he won the Emmy.

if you're in the US, look to your left. now look to your right. if everyone's dead, it's because almost the entire population of this country apparently died from drug overdoses last year.

No massive exit wound on Charlie Kirk? That doesn’t mean no .30-06. Here’s why the viral claim is pure garbage.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Trump: " They're already under major investigation, a lot of the people that you would traditionally say are on the Left. They're already under investigation."

Trump: " The problem is on the Left. It's not on the Right...The problem we have is on the Left."

The charity clock on the Emmy speeches is the best thing since the pitching clock in baseball.

Ed Dept has pulled funding for programs in eight states aimed at supporting students who have hearing & vision loss.

Hannah Einbinder ends her Emmys acceptance speech: "Go Birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine."

Reporter: The president of Venezuela called the strike on the boat illegal Trump: What’s illegal is the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs

They want to scare us away from fighting for equality, healthcare, education, climate action, fair wages, housing, and justice. They want to silence dissent to entrench their fascist billionaire agenda. Don’t let them.

Since Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday, social media accounts associated with him, Turning Point USA, and his wife Erika Kirk have seen an astonishing rise in followers and subscribers. Over the past four days, these accounts have gained at least 23,333,769 followers.

Can someone explain how I can search my own posts on Bluesky? I'm trying to find some stuff I posted to Bluesky a long time ago but I can't figure out how to search just my own posts. Or search a link to see everyone who posted it on Bluesky. Can someone advise ASAP?

Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk. So why does it feel like his trans roommate is the one who pulled the trigger?

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Don't stop sharing Charlie Kirk's own words and videos of hate. People need to know. Don't be silenced. MAGA and corporate America are making him into a saint.

“Bloom High School: An Art Deco Masterpiece,” is part of the hoopla celebrating the school’s 125th anniversary Sept. 19 to 21.

Hochul, belatedly, does the right thing and endorses Mamdani. Makes Schumer and Jeffries look even more ‘spineless’, to quote Sen. Van Hollen.

Makes Schumer and Jeffries lack of endorsement even more shameful.

Excellent. Thanks to Senator Van Hollen for speaking out about Dems refusing to endorse Mamdani. Will Jeffries and Schumer follow suit?

I’m telling you. It’s fabricated.

It’s wild watching Republicans claw over each other to win Charlie Kirk’s audience, each one trying to sink lower than the last. Meanwhile, Democrats are doing the opposite: actually trying to bring this country together.

Now I’m mad that Joe Morton never won this.

“Severance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys

The dominoes are falling…. Our economy is screwed.

watching ‘severance’ and ‘the white lotus’ own the drama categories almost makes one understand why ‘the bear’ refuses to compete in it

Tonight’s the night for television! Nate Bargatze hosts the 77th Prime Time Emmys, held at the Los Angeles’ Peacock Theater on Sunday.

Fact-check: true
