    Censored Comedians in Riyadh, ICE Attacks, and the Lie Behind the Shutdown

    Welcome to Power Lines. This week, Oliver welcome’s Status’ new media correspondent Natalie Korach!  Oliver and Natalie kick things off covering the relentless attacks on the free press, Oliver’s role in a Senate "spotlight hearing" on threats to journalism, the chilling effect of pressure applied by Brendan Carr and Pete Hegseth, and the alarming, unprovoked assaults on reporters by masked ICE agents. Next, the controversy surrounding the Riyadh Comedy Festival, where A-list comedians like Dave Chappelle, Kevin Hart, and Bill Burr are taking huge paychecks despite Saudi Arabia's atrocious human rights record and restrictions on free expression. Finally, Oliver and Natalie break down the misleading messaging from MAGA media outlets like Fox News on the government shutdown, and the disturbing celebration of potential mass firings of federal workers.

    Jimmy Kimmel Is Back—But Disney’s Fight Is Far From Finished

    Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show returned this week after Disney executives backpedaled on a short-lived suspension that elicited a tidal wave of backlash. But the battle is far from over. Major station groups Nexstar and Sinclair are still refusing to carry the program on their ABC affiliates, effectively blocking it from nearly a quarter of American households. Oliver and Jon break down how the FCC’s targeting of Kimmel ended up backfiring, why even some conservatives are defending his right to speak, and what Disney could be up against next if Nexstar pulls off its bid to acquire TEGNA. One thing is clear: the Kimmel fight is only just beginning. They also cover the revolt inside CNN’s newsroom over its handling of an on-air story featuring far-right conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec, and how mainstream outlets often miss or downplay the cultural impact of internet personalities.

    Trump's D.C. Power Grab, Alex Jones' New Nightmare, and Swifties Might Hate Us for This

    Welcome to another episode of Power Lines. This week, Oliver and Jon dive into: The National Guard in DC – and MAGA media’s reaction. Let’s just say President Trump’s base seems to have moved on from their old “Don’t Tread on Me” mantra. Alex Jones’ Infowars for sale (again) – as Jones is ordered to liquidate his assets to pay the families of Sandy Hook victims. Taylor Swift’s podcast debut – where she announced a new album… but the reveal was a little underwhelming. Plus, the amount of brand bandwagoning is, frankly, gross. All that, plus a spirited debate over the best Taylor Swift album—featuring Jon’s pick for the one that nearly put him to sleep. We’re sure Swifties will respond with their trademark calm and kindness. "Power Lines" is presented by Status, and hosted by Oliver Darcy and Jon Passantino.
