Enforcing the First HALF of the Second Amendment would save lives. And, cut back on the massive increase in assault rifle and hand gun purchases after every mass shooting. No assault weapons sale ban in America has EVER taken guns away from law biding Americans.
I’ve always enjoyed sport shooting but we used to have sensible gun laws. Now anybody can buy and carry a firearm without training, permits or accountability.

Trump's crew sells racist lies as patriotism. The American singer, Bad Bunny, IS nonwhite. It is the duty of MAGAs everywhere to act as if his skin color makes him a felon, maybe like like our self-confessed, serial sexual assaulter of married women-in-chief? But, trump is white, so it's okay...
And trying to get the FCC to investigate Bad Bunny. 🙄

Yup!
My hometown of Monterey Park suffered the deadliest mass shooting in LA County history. We know the devastating consequences when weapons fall into the wrong hands. Congress should be focused on protecting people from violence, not rewriting our laws to make the gun industry richer.

Yup!
Yes. The Party that arms mass school shooters with assault rifles and max-capacity assault mags--like I used in Nam--as fast as they can get into the mood to dismember actual living babies? THAT Party protects wantabe mass murderers as vigorously as it protects rich pedophiles!
What are Republicans focused on today? Creating loopholes that allow weapons be sold without background checks, serial numbers, and basic accountability safeguards.

It's as if we took the worst, greediest, rudest, most immature people and moved them to positions of extreme responsibility. People who behave as if they were in 7th grade.
I dunno about you, but I want people in positions of power that know their shit. I don't wanna get nuked.

What Gary1955 said! And, at this time, there is NO REASON TO BELIEVE ICE GESTAPO ARE ACTUALLY GONE. Yes. They WILL be back. Before midterms, they HAVE TO incite enough bystander outrage by their assaults and murders to start a nation wide walk out; so trump will declare martial law!
Minnesota, you won. Much of ICE are leaving. Don't trust this. They are trying to get the funding bill passed. Once the bill passes they'll be back at it either by you or someplace else.

Epstein survivor Haley Robson: I’m so tired of having this administration just completely dismiss us. They’re supposed to be the party of, you know, family values and protecting children. And I just feel like if that’s the party you are, it seems like Thomas Massie is the only one showing up for it.

After decades of recovery, southern right whales are showing signs of a climate-driven decline in breeding rates, which scientists say is a “warning signal” about changes in the Southern Ocean.

YUP. Republicans believe der Furher. He told them they WILL lose the House and Senate in the midterms! And, that he WILL be impeached, removed, and selling the scam with all his heart that he can self-pardon--IF MIDTERMS TAKE PLACE.
In just a few moments, I will vote against the so-called SAVE America Act and I am a strong no. That's because this bill would place unnecessary burdens on millions of women and eligible citizens to register to vote and make their voices heard. It is un-American & undermines our democracy.

Disgusting how the AG treated the survivors of the pedophiles she protects every day just to cover for her beloved, unrepentant, self-confessed serial sexual assaulter of married women and convicted Felon-In-Chief. In this case, Bondi's example inspires art that depicts mindless intolerance.

Living in Minnesota right now is wondering if your patient is late because they got caught in traffic, because they got arrested, or because they got detained and all of these are perfectly plausible and equally likely.

He promised to end the his all-child-abduction-from-all asylum-seeking mothers and fathers at our Southern borders. Separating infants--ALL OF THEM--from loving parents for from 6 months to 5 years? NEWBORNS~. But, he just kept up the atrocities.

Yup. His first term, President Bone Spurs was ordered to STOP TAKING ALL INFANTS AND ALL CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS FOR SIX MONTHS AT A TIME. HE SAID HE STOPPED THE ATROCITY BUT KEPT ON TRAUMATIZING INFANTS AND MOTHERS. HOMAN IS A DISHONEST AND EVEN MORE RACIST THAN OUR RACIST IN CHIEF!
This is all performative bullshit.
Believe it when you don't see ICE in Minneapolis/Saint Paul anymore.

The idea is to keep those believed to vote blue FROM voting.
Not a single one of ID representatives can articulate how women are supposed to vote in the election.
"Read the SAVE Act to find out what documentation is accepted"
Guess what? Marriage certs are not one of the docs.
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO VOTE?

When I heard that a woman was the mass shooter, I wondered if she was trans; ONLY because the only other mass shooter I know was a trans woman shooting up the religious school she'd grown up as a boy in. MAGAs and biased so called liberals use exceptions TO NEGATE TRUTH.
A community is in the midst of a horrific tragedy. Then a few garbaage people leverage the tragedy to advance hate against the trans community.
So much hate in the world. And for what?

Yup. This shows how the monster "AG" is laser focused on protecting the richest, most powerful sex offenders in the world. Oh, yes. Felon 47 IS an unrepentant, self-confessed, compulsive serial sexual assaulter of married women, convicted of rape in civil court, SAYS THE JUDGE.

Same.
And all politics aside, what king of person lacks the common human decency to even turn their head to acknowledge the victims of childhood rape?
