Another post of mine where I continue to argue that this is the biggest political issue that few are talking about nearly enough. We know Republicans are in the tank for the tech oligarchs on this, and this is an issue that infuriates many voters in key areas.

Is Jonathan Ross dealing with PTSD from the prior incident 6 months ago? Seems a reasonable question. Maybe he shouldn't have been on duty.

17 Republicans joined all Democrats in passing legislation that would revive enhanced ACA subsidies for three years, rebuffing opposition from GOP leadership. The 230-196 vote follows a procedural vote Wednesday to advance the bill, where nine Republicans joined Democrats in favor of moving forward.
17 Republicans vote to restore lapsed Obamacare subsidies
Democrats and moderate Republicans hope the bill's passage will put pressure on the Senate to come up a bipartisan compromise.

The Senate unanimously approved a measure to display an existing plaque honoring the officers who protected the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.
Congress passed a law in March 2022 mandating the plaque, but it has yet to be installed. Mike Johnson has argued the project is “not implementable.”

The move comes after years of political squabbling over a plaque honoring law enforcement officers who protected the Capitol that day.

The strategic move Ukraine figured out a few months ago is that they could agree to virtually any US demand, knowing Putin will reject every single offer. That has now made it virtually impossible for Trump/Vance to convince anyone that Ukrainian intransigence is the issue here.

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

Another liar. The ICE agents prevented a local physician from attending to her while she was slumped over in the car after being shot.
Sen. Lankford blatantly lies about what the video of Renee Good's killing shows: "A classic law enforcement moment -- they have to fire their weapon and then when you see her car crash, law enforcement is running to her to provide aid. They're never looking to be able to take a life of individuals."

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
