Conservative broadcaster Sinclair is putting Jimmy Kimmel Live! back on the air. In a statement today, Sinclair said it will end its preemption of the show on its ABC affiliates starting tonight, even though ABC and owner Disney haven’t accepted its request for an ombudsman and other changes.

      Democrats split their vote over Gaza in the last election

      Did they? The anti-Biden Gaza protest votes in the primary were minuscule relative to the overall turnout in the General. And there were a number of states that split between Trump and a Democrat for Governor or Senate, in large part because Trump - personally - outpolled the field while Kamala under-performed the rest of her party.

      Even then, Kamala got 10M more votes than Hillary did eight years earlier. 6M more than the Obama landslide of 2008.

      There’s a lot of folks who want to die on the “Democrat Low Turnout” hill. But 2024 had an unusually high turnout, compared to the historical average. The problem Dems faced was Trump being too popular.
