I’ll be interested in the NRA’s reaction to Trump’s repudiation of the 2nd Amendment.
President Trump said that Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by a Border Patrol agent, should not have carried a firearm on him.
“You can’t have guns. You can’t walk in with guns,” Trump told reporters before departing the White House for Iowa.

I heard a great plan yesterday.
1. Win the midterms and take control of the House and Senate.
2. DO NOT IMPEACH TACO.
3. Impeach Vance.
4 Refuse to confirm any TACO VP nominee.
5. Impeach TACO and that elevates the Democratic Speaker to the job.
Then use EOs to undo the EOs.
Sounds good.

Yes, we can all think of reasons not to speak up, but gotta do it when we can.
Pretty much everyone on IG who has been carefully quiet about politics is speaking out.
It’s. Weird.
I’m not on there all that much, but I think people have finally been given social permission to say the uncomfortable thing.
I think they realize not speaking up will be read as acceptance.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

@kenmartin.bsky.social The DNC email I received this morning was better than most, since it included actions being taken. Thanks. (Also, maybe open a DNC account on here.)

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
