As the MSM remembers Charlie Kirk and speaks out against his horrific assassination, let’s recall the Minnesota Congresswoman who was assassinated on June 14th 2025 along with her husband and their dog.
Do you even remember her name?!

Her name was Melissa Hortman. Her husband was Mark Hortman. Their dog was named Gilbert.
Their assassination left two children without their parents and her state without a beloved former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

The St Joe County Council had the chance to say to #Hoosiers "yes, we support fair & free elections" but the Republicans on the council showed off their racist views by a 5 to 4 vote, Schaetzle, Rutten, Drake, Figg & Thomas voted it down.

I know you, Chicago — and I know you’re up to the difficult time we have ahead, thanks to this President.

Do not come, Donald Trump.

You are neither wanted nor needed here in Illinois.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today.

Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American.

There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

Governor JB Pritzker joined elected officials, business, faith, and education leaders, community advocates, and law enforcement leaders to condemn the Trump administration’s plan to deploy the National Guard or active duty military in Chicago despite objections from state and local leadership.

To Donald Trump and his administration:

If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.
