HOT TOPICS | MAJOR NEWS UPDATES: Jimmy Kimmel, Donald Trump, & Kamala Harris - September 23rd, 2025
Good morning! We’ve got a lot to cover today. First up: Jimmy Kimmel is returning to late night! After being pulled off the air “indefinitely,” public outcry clearly hit Disney where it hurts, and now he’s back. Score one for free speech.
Then, we turn to Trump’s absolutely deranged press conference where he claimed that autism is caused by… Tylenol, a claim that is not supported by evidence. And why is MAGA suddenly obsessed with Tylenol instead of the actual drug, acetaminophen?
And finally, Kamala Harris is back in the spotlight with her new book 107 Days. What can we expect to learn from it, and what bombshells are already making waves?
It’s all here, unfiltered and with the snark you know and love.
