Jesus these replies. Do not shoot anyone. Period. Shooting is one of the terrible aspects of this country. Don’t justify it. Don’t say people deserved it. Don’t argue with people who say you shouldn’t do it. Just don’t.
Hey party people.
Don’t shoot national guard troops. It’s not cool. They are t doing anything wrong. They are doing what they are ordered to as long as it’s legal.
CBP and ICE are the ones breaking the laws.
I’m just sayin’. Don’t do bad things to good people…

Yes! TN-07 VOTE for @aftynbehn.bsky.social to make more of Tennessee turn blue and prevent this gerrymandering!
I should also note that TN has a relatively small Black population heavily concentrated in cities (mostly Nashville and Memphis). In the vernacular of gerrymandering, Memphis got packed, Nashville got cracked. If a Dem wins in TN-7, it’ll be a very big deal and a sign TN-5 could be in play in ‘26.

Are Veterans’ organizations speaking out about this? Forget that he’s a Senator, are they ok with Americans who served honorably getting hauled before a court martial for exercising their first amendment rights? For encouraging active duty service members to follow the law?
“Having a United States senator subject to discipline at the behest of the secretary of defense and the president — that violates a core principle of legislative independence,” Kreis said in a phone interview.

A teenager. An American citizen, not that it should matter. ICE breaks the window of a car to pull out a teenage American citizen with no warrant and no probable cause - just skin color. It has to stop. If SCOTUS thinks it can salvage its legitimacy, it’d better start now. #KavanaughStop

I’m sure these predictions will pan out, just like Musk’s Tesla FSD driving itself across the country, his successful landing on Mars, an Optimus robot in every home, Twitter making money, Grok not calling itself RoboHitler, etc.

TBC, TN-7 only includes a slice of Nashville, because the TN GOP cracked and packed Nashville in a major gerrymander during the last redistricting, which is why the Middle Tennessee map looks like a pinwheel. Nashville no longer has representatives that serve the city.

The trade deficit is wider.

Last night Russia sent about five hundred drones and missiles to kill Ukrainians. Most were intercepted but those that got through hit a post office, a store, a power plant, and multiple residences. 19 people were killed in Ternopil. (1/2)

Yikes. The true bill was a false bill? I’m no criminal lawyer, but have to think this is pretty pretty bad for the prosecution.
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
