Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel jabbed President Donald Trump's administration for its pressure campaign to remove his show from TV in a new episode that aired Tuesday night.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" was suspended "indefinitely" last week by Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group after Kimmel made comments about the killer of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk that the companies thought were insensitive. Nexstar and Sinclair both continued preempting the airing of Kimmel's show on Tuesday, a move that impacted about 70 local ABC affiliates nationwide.

Observers bashed President Donald Trump late Tuesday night after the president threatened ABC over its reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" returned to some local ABC airwaves on Tuesday night following an "indefinite" suspension handed down last week by Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group. The two Trump-aligned companies suspended Kimmel's show after the comedian made comments about the killer of conservative activist Charlie Kirk that were deemed "insensitive."

President Donald Trump issued a grave threat against ABC ahead of late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel's return from his "indefinite" suspension that was handed out last week.

In a new Truth Social post on Tuesday night, Trump said he "can’t believe ABC Fake News gave Jimmy Kimmel his job back."

CNN host Abby Phillip skewered one of her Republican panelists on Tuesday night over late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel's return from his "indefinite" suspension.

Brad Todd, a Republican strategist, appeared on Tuesday's broadcast of "NewsNight with Abby Phillip, and argued that what's happening to Kimmel is similar to how conservatives felt under the Biden administration. Todd argued that Biden censored conservative content about the pandemic and vaccines.

CNN panelists on Tuesday warned that President Donald Trump's efforts to get late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel cancelled should be a "wake-up call" for everyday Americans.

CNN media analyst Brian Stelter and Bill Carter, a former media reporter for The New York Times, discussed the Trump administration's efforts to remove Kimmel from the airwaves on "The Source with Kaitlan Collins" on Tuesday night. Their comments come at a time when Kimmel will tape his first show since receiving an "indefinite" suspension from Nexstar Media Group and local ABC affiliates last week.

A prominent MAGA media personality slammed Democrats on Tuesday for the way some have criticized the slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Eric Bolling, a former Fox News host, talked about criticisms of Kirk during a new episode of his eponymous show on Tuesday. His comments come at a time when lawmakers have been debating a resolution to honor the late Kirk with a statue in the Capitol.

President Donald Trump's speech at the United Nations on Tuesday was marred by technical problems, including the escalator stopping as he and First Lady Melania Trump approached it, and the teleprompter for his speech not working.

Trump, who has in the past attacked other politicians for even using a teleprompter, raged about these problems, and speculation abounded on the right that it might have been deliberate sabotage by U.N. staff who oppose Trump's agenda. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt even called for people at the U.N. building to lose their jobs over it.

Local police body camera footage released Monday has further called into question the government’s justification for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent’s fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez, a 38-year-old father of two, in the Chicago suburb of Franklin Park on September 12 during a traffic stop.

In a statement justifying the shooting, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that Villegas-Gonzalez “refused to follow law enforcement’s commands and drove his car at law enforcement officers. One of the ICE officers was hit by the car and dragged a significant distance. Fearing for his own life, the officer fired his weapon.”

President Donald Trump may have angered a key part of his base with his attacks against late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel, according to one analyst.

Dan Pfeiffer, a former senior advisor to President Barack Obama, discussed Trump's attacks on Kimmel during a new episode of "Pod Save America" on Tuesday. Pfeiffer said Trump's efforts to remove Kimmel from the air have ticked off other high-profile comedians, some of whom have been the president's most staunch defenders.

Pro-Trump lawyer Rogan O'Handley, who goes by the pseudoym "DC Draino," took to X on Tuesday to imply that South Park parodies are responsible for the shootings of prominent Republicans.

"I hope the @SouthPark guys are doing some soul searching right now," wrote Draino. "They stayed quiet for 4 years about the absolute clown show that was Joe Biden; Yet the 2 biggest people they’ve demonized - President Trump & Charlie Kirk - were both shot; I wonder if they realize they’ve become part of the problem in this country."

A former GOP communications strategist on Tuesday issued a stark warning about President Donald Trump's attacks against late-night host Jimmy Kimmel.

Tara Setmayer, co-founder of The Seneca Project, joined MSNBC's Jason Johnson on "The Beat" to discuss Trump's attacks against Kimmel. Her comments come at a time when FCC chair Brendan Carr is pressuring Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns multiple local ABC affiliates, to remove Kimmel's eponymous show from the airwaves because of comments the comedian made about the slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

President Donald Trump has an easy loophole to get rid of the corruption allegations against White House "border czar" Tom Homan, former Interior Department Inspector General Mark Grenblatt warned CNN's Erica Hill on Tuesday afternoon.

Homan, a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement official who has advised the White House on mass deportation policy and has become well known for going on TV and threatening Democratic lawmakers with arrest if they get in the way of the administration, was exposed in a New York Times report for having allegedly accepted $50,000 in cash from undercover FBI agents.

The Republican speaker of the Texas House of Representatives could soon face censure by the Texas Republican Party.

On Tuesday, the Texas GOP announced on X that the state party executive committee would be taking up proposed censure resolutions submitted by several county GOP chapters against ten Republican members of the House, including current House Speaker Dustin Burrows. Also up for censure is Dade Phelan, the previous state House speaker Burrows replaced.
