The absence of Republican lawmakers at a hearing about deaths of U.S. citizens at the hands of federal agents displays a complete lack of empathy or accountability on their part.

Absolutely fucking repulsive.
Yale prof David Gelernter defends his letter urging Epstein to hire "v small goodlooking blonde" student by saying that he was "keep[ing] the potential boss's habits in mind."

With President Clinton and Hillary both agreeing to respond to their subpoenas, Speaker Johnson has the CRUST to claim that they should follow the law.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
