Today in the news briefs: Jimmy Kimmel is moving an interview with Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico off television and onto YouTube because he says the U.S. communications regulator FCC has openly threatened his show. Meanwhile, over at Kaufland, you can buy an AfD hoodie with the slogan \"We\u2019re taking our country back\" - sold by an outside merchant, but right there on Kaufland\u2019s own marketplace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Dallas delivers the insanity as a full package: Trump has thousands of people raise their right hands and repeat a pledge to the \"greatest president in history,\" a pardoned Oath Keeper is walking around the convention, and somewhere in between, the crowd sings the Flintstones vitamins jingle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s the hottest August since records began, new records in the world\u2019s oceans, and greenhouse gas emissions that are still rising. And over at the U.S. Justice Department, Trump\u2019s own investigator of all people quits - with this line: \"If you want indictments where there\u2019s no evidence, you have an ethical problem.\"<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimmel Moves Online After Threats From U.S. Regulator - Interview With Democrat Gets Pulled From TV Broadcast<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jimmy Kimmel says the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC, is putting pressure on his show. That is why an interview with James Talarico, the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, will not air on television and will instead be published on YouTube. Kimmel said on his show that for more than 20 years, he has interviewed candidates running for political office without any problems. Now something is different. The FCC, he said, has threatened him, his show, ABC, its affiliates and local stations over completely normal editorial decisions. That includes, apparently, guests the agency did not like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this is not the first time Talarico has been hit by this kind of caution. Back in February, an appearance by the Democrat on Stephen Colbert\u2019s show was moved from television to the internet. At the time, the network was worried about trouble over the FCC rule requiring political candidates to receive comparable airtime. Talarico is running in Texas against Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton and is considered one of the Democrats\u2019 better chances of winning in a state Republicans have dominated for years. The fact that his interview is once again disappearing from regular television is therefore anything but politically insignificant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kimmel\u2019s fight with the Trump administration has been going on for quite a while. In September 2025, ABC temporarily suspended \"Jimmy Kimmel Live\" after threats from then-FCC Chairman Brendan Carr. In April 2026, Donald Trump and Melania Trump demanded that Kimmel be fired over a joke about the First Lady. ABC then went to court itself and said the FCC\u2019s demand for an early review of broadcast licenses posed an existential threat to the network. Now an interview with a Democratic Senate candidate is being pushed onto YouTube as a precaution because Kimmel says the government regulator is threatening him over his guest list. For a president who constantly talks about free speech, that is a pretty remarkable way to deal with television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AfD Propaganda at Kaufland: Not Sold by Kaufland Itself, but Offered on Its Own Marketplace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An AfD hoodie with the slogan \"We\u2019re taking our country back\" is being offered on Kaufland\u2019s online marketplace for 39.95 euros. According to the listing, the seller is not Kaufland itself but an outside merchant called Printera. That does not change the fact that the product is being sold under the Kaufland brand, on its platform, and using its infrastructure. Anyone who runs a marketplace cannot completely hide behind the line that they are just providing the technical space for outside sellers. Especially when it comes to openly political party merchandise, the question is what kinds of political products Kaufland wants to allow on its marketplace in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
