I have never seen a case where state law enforcement had to file a lawsuit to obtain evidence of a police shooting within its jurisdiction. Until now.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

It doesn't matter what phase the US and Israeli governments call it, or if Trump is trotting out a “Board of Peace.” As long as the Israeli military is still killing Palestinians, there is no ceasefire.

The Republican agenda:
Terminate the tax credits that make healthcare affordable, creating panic as premiums double. Simultaneously, increase the budget for ICE's violent, often illegal, home invasion tactics.
Vote them all out in November! #FundHealthcareNotICE

Few Americans care about constitutionality of tRump policies. But, even as they cheer on immigration pogroms, they care about loss of farming, meat-packing, construction jobs in red states & associated reduced tax 💸, household spending, rental income & loss of jobs providing those goods & services.

Along with coverage of tRump EOs & other unconstitutional policies, it's super important to focus on how they impact MAGA voters & MAGA states. Decimation of USAID has HUGE impact on MAGA-voting farmers. More than 60% of vets supported tRump, who is gutting VA services. Tell that story.

The anti-democratic, constitution-destroying, meta-narrative matters. Journalists must articulate that. But the story that matters to MAGAts is people losing jobs b/c of tRump policy, people losing healthcare b/c of tRump policy, people f'd over b/c of tRump policy. 2/2

@maddow.msnbc.com rails about tRump admin losers. One more time w/ feeling: No one actually cares. What they care about is that the jackhole now running the VA is going to screw over the 61% of MAGA-voting Vets. Which is pretty much tRump saying, "F-you for your service, fellas!" 1/2

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?
In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.
