Watergate, but if someone was killed.
NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

Fondly remembering the months of weirdness/unhinged comments we got from Pritzker fiends on this app and others for simply (and accurately!) covering state police attacks on protesters outside Broadview. Godspeed to everyone in Minnesota facing the same from the Walz fan club

Do you see what is happening here, for this grieving person to get up and speak like this
“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Becca Good has seldom spoken out since Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7.

I love the Westminster Kennel Club broadcast because one of the announcers isn’t an expert so sometimes a weird looking dog prances out and he goes “oh wow”

I wonder if it was something else that made them “genociders”. Just spitballing
The left very, very loudly said - between 2016 and 2022 - that inflationary policy was OK so long as it was in service of increased social welfare programs.

So, the Biden Administration delivered that.

In return for this, the left called them out-of-touch on economics and, eventually, genociders.
I think it's true that a lot of Americans have financial challenges they didn't have decades ago but that is not the same as poverty and those challenges are made worse, not helped, by spreading bullshit implications around the idea that we can somehow lower inflation while also providing services
