The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

Sixty-seven people could end this madness at any time. We don't have to live like this. Republicans (and some Democrats) in Congress have made the choice Trump, and the wreckage he brings, is Good.
The key question in US civil society isn’t “Do you like Trump?”
It’s “Do you acknowledge that Trump is a psychologically unstable criminal and bully whose existence creates a crisis?”
Problem is, while many of our institutions answer “no” to the first, they virtually all answer “no” to the second

I've harped on congressional war powers for a long time and we do need to fix all that, but threatening to invade Greenland while ranting at Norway about the Nobel Peace Prize and imposing trade sanctions on NATO is more the kind of thing you can only fix by not having a literally insane president.

I was told that the US is running Venezuela now and it would be easy and there'd be lots of money... and now the US govt is telling Americans to get the hell out.
These guys don't even know what a plan is. It's all just wish casting. It's incredible that they currently run the world.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Democrats will focus on the House and Senate, but to me, the state legislatures are equally important. Democrats lost an entire generation of new leaders when they got wiped out in the state legislatures in 2010 and again in 2014. The Democrats need to build the next generation in the state leg. 1/3
Marist finds Democrats up 55/41 on the generic ballot: maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/a-look...
That may be a factor of an enthusiasm gap mixed with a serving of outlier, but also it’s not a shocker in light of the sheer extent of Democrats’ sweeping wins in November.
