Almost as terrifying a video as the one showing the shooting itself.

Casually good-natured with each other at the scene of a vicious killing. Which feels like it reflects something that seems deeply depraved.
This is how ICE agents responded after watching a mother of three bleed out in her car after they shot her multiple times in the head.

Happy New Year To Everyone, Including the UNHINGED LOSER "Tiny" Mike Johnson, who—despite his best but pitiful efforts—will fail miserably to stop us from extending ACA tax credits in January.

Now's the time to get loud about it:
Tell Congress: Demand Speaker Johnson hold a vote IMMEDIATELY on the ACA tax credit extension

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?

This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

Why did BS stories like the John Kerry swiftboating and Obama birtherism get into major media? Because news bosses wanted to show their “fairness.” I know this because I edited the Chicago Tribune’s first story on Obama’s birth certificate. We didn’t want to touch it. The higher-ups made us. 9/10 🧵

Rich people own media. Rich people who get big tax cuts from Republicans. Rich people who want to depict the acquisition of enormous wealth as a noble crusade. Look at the Murdochs, Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, the Sinclair TV chain and the Ellisons acquiring CBS and trying to grab CNN too. 2/10 🧵

You probably heard the US admin is threatening to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research: but did you know they already froze funding for the 9 regional Climate Science Adaptation Centers? From tracking invasives to helping tribes with drought, here's why the CASCs matter ⬇️

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
