What Next | Daily News and Analysis - The Discourse | TikTok Ban: The Final Loop?

What A Day - Trump’s War On Free Speech

Democrats on the Hill are hitting back after ABC suspended "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" indefinitely. They’ve introduced the No Political Enemies (or NOPE) Act, a bill that would protect people targeted for political speech, and called for the resignation of Federal Communications Commission chair Brendan Carr, whose comments targeting Kimmel came just hours before ABC pulled the show. To learn more about what Democrats are doing to protect free speech amid President Trump's crackdown — while working to avoid a potential government shutdown  — we spoke to Michigan Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin.

And in headlines, the Senate confirms a whopping 48 of Trump's nominees all at once, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s handpicked vaccine advisory council makes a change to the childhood vaccine schedule, and Trump disagrees with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer — while standing next to him.

Pod Save America - Trump Cancels Kimmel

Caving to a pressure campaign from Donald Trump's FCC, Disney pulls Jimmy Kimmel's show off the air. Jon and Dan are joined by newly minted Crooked contributor Alex Wagner to discuss Trump's attacks on Kimmel and his new lawsuit against The New York Times, the impending takeover of TikTok by MAGA-aligned billionaires, and new details from the White House about the coming crackdown on left-leaning nonprofits and organizations. Then they react to the CDC's dangerous new recommendations on childhood vaccinations, excerpts from Kamala Harris's forthcoming tell-all book about the 2024 election, and Trump's bracing candor about when plane crashes are okay.

The Best One Yet - 👟 “Air Force Kirkland” — Nike’s Costco sneaker. Amex’s $895 mirror card. Jimmy Kimmel’s cancellation. +Kevin Durant’s crypto password.

Amex just jacked up the fee for its Platinum card to $895… so we used AI to optimize the points.

Did Nike just collab with Costco on a shoe?... Could be a deepfake - or an intentional Nike leak.

Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show just got canceled… but you can follow the money to a $6B acquisition.

Plus, NBA star Kevin Durant forgot his Coinbase password… so it’s now worth Bitcoin millions.

Native America Calling - Friday, September 19, 2025 — Native Bookshelf: “Sisters in the Wind” by Angeline Boulley

Lucy Smith just aged out of the foster care system but finds she needs to protect herself and her family against persistent threats from her past. She relies on the survival skills she’s learned the hard way: a lack of trust in others and a readiness to run. Along the way she connects with her own Anishinaabe identity. “Sisters in the Wind” is the third mystery by author Angeline Boulley (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians). She weaves together themes of Indigenous identity, justice, and family through compelling characters and in a way that fans of her two previous novels, “Firekeeper’s Daughter” and “Warrior Girl Unearthed”, will recognize. “Sisters in the Wind” is on our Native Bookshelf.
