Whenever a country with strict gun laws sees a mass shooting there’s always some dumb fuck that goes “HOWS THAT GUN CONTROL WORKING FOR YA???” when America will see more mass shootings in a week than they see in ten years.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump's Truth Social post about Rob and Michele Reiner is disgusting filth.
It reflects the depravity of this soulless ghoul and how he is incapable of decency and good judgment.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Jones: Everything you hear from Tuberville is framed as a sports analogy. When you view everything that way, you’re always stuck in an us-versus-them, winners-versus-losers mentality. That’s how he operates.
But the fact that communities across Alabama are suffering is not a game.

There is not much difference between Islamist fundamentalists and ultra-Christian fundamentalists.
Nothing says Republican and Christian values like decorating a Christmas tree with effigies of people you want to murder and then posting it on social media.

There have been plenty of big cases…but this is the big one.
Not being hyperbolic.
If the court sides with Trump it essentially gives him - not them or Congress - the power to decide what the Constitution means and to discard the parts he doesn’t likes.
That would end the American system.

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

His need to affirm a long-held lie makes him every bit as diabolical as Trump.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Service is the truest measure of patriotism. On Veterans Day, we honor all who have taken the oath and worn the uniform - and our nation recommits to keeping its promises to every veteran who served our country.
