That this thread was posted by a sitting U.S. Senator is... notable. This isn't speculation. Miller is being clear about his (and the Trump regime's) intention to use the tragedy in Utah to delegitimize, demoralize, and further disempower the opposition party. The hypocrisy re: free speech is acute.
Pay attention. Something dark might be coming.

The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent.

1/ Here's what's happening.
Stephen Miller: "The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me ... we are gonna do that."

The reality of 21st century America is that GOP dominated red states are becoming a combination of loss of health care, loss of economic mobility, loss of freedoms, loss of democracy, loss of safety and protections, loss of empathy, loss of caring, and loss of well-being.

Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.

Watching reminds one of watching yesterday's meeting with Trump: The host rants as long as he wants and interrupts but is not interrupted. Everyone at the table has to figure out how to agree with the least offensive thing he says, for they don't dare disagree and set him off.

The only emergency Trump’s responding to in Washington is a public relations crisis caused by his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and his stubborn refusal to release the Epstein files despite his repeated promises to do so. Even a real emergency does not give him power to take over the MPD.

Imagine having to smile and placate this man baby just to try and secure assistance in stopping a dictator from destroying your country.
Trump is showing Presidents Zelensky and Macron his “4 more years” hat during their White House visit.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.

Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.

It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.
Hi, I think a lot of us received e-mails from SSA saying that social security will no longer be taxed - and that somehow there is "enhanced deductions" (how much enhancement can you make to 0?) for those over 65. What part, if any, of this is true? Thank you!

This is why Trump called the Vietnamese “great people.”
NYT, page one:

The “$1.5 billion golf complex” and “Trump skyscraper .. are the Trump family’s first projects in Vietnam — part of a global moneymaking enterprise that no family of a sitting American president has ever attempted on this scale.”

This should be one of the most important stories in the country right now. Trump & Elon Musk via DOGE have intentionally decimated the country's weather forecasting service and people are getting hurt. It's absolutely disgraceful.
