The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible.

In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something

Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.

Ah, he's going to deploy the police in a strategic perimeter around the Epstein Files. Now I get it.
Trump announces he's placing the DC police department "under direct federal control" and deploying the National Guard in the city

God bless Phil Williams. One of the best investigative reporters out there!

Very glad I moved out of TN before Andy Ogles was ever my rep.

Tons of respect for Chris Murphy for acknowledging that he made a mistake, then explaining why he made his initial decision. To be honest, I thought Rubio might be willing to stand up and tell Trump “no” too, so I guess we were both naive about how much spine Rubio does not have.
BASH: You voted to approve Marco Rubio's nomination to be secretary of state. Did you make the right choice?

CHRIS MURPHY: Nope. It was a mistake. It was a mistake. I think a lot of us thought Marco Rubio was going to stand up to Trump on an issue like this.

This is why I follow @atrupar.com - honesty and integrity
I deleted a post w/clip of Don Jr talking abt Russia bc I'm having a hard time tracking down the source of it. It's circulating on a number of big X accounts, but when I scrolled through the podcast from which it purportedly came, I couldn't find original soundbite. Will repost if I track it down.

Sen. Murphy held a fantastic town hall today with Sen. Blumenthal, and they took questions for at least 30 mins longer than billed.

Here are his suggestions for how you can get involved to fight the good fight!

Uh…..this seems like a really bad choice.
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.

No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.

And no indication how long the pause will last.

With @rachelroubein.bsky.social + Lena Sun.
Trump officials pause health agencies’ communications, citing review
The agencies are charged with making decisions that touch the lives of every American and are the source of crucial information to health-care providers.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

What commercial stores do we think Trump HAS ever gone into and bought something? Like for SURE this man has never been in a grocery store, or an auto parts store… think he’s ever stopped at a CVS or something, or does he send someone in for him?
Trump: I won on groceries. Very simple word, groceries. Like almost, you know, who uses the word. I started using the word. The groceries. When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs..

NEW: Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the charges against Trump in the DC election subversion case without prejudice. This allows the Justice Department to refile charges once Trump is out of office.

This makes me so angry. Book banning is embarrassing.
CHALKBEAT — After Wilson County removed 400 books from their school libraries after the new GOP law, other counties are using their list as a cheat sheet, including Montgomery and Rutherford, where Frances Rosales asked for 150 books to be removed. www.timesfreepress.com/news/2024/no...

Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.
