We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Today marks 15 years since Gabby Giffords was shot at a constituent meeting, in an attack that killed 6 and wounded 13.
I am proud to cosponsor a bipartisan, bicameral resolution to honor the victims and their families today, and recommit to ending gun and political violence.

Trump bragging about his $400 million ballroom and getting up to admire the construction site as he meets with oil company executives looking to plunder Venezuela with money from US taxpayers basically sums up this entire admin perfectly.

So an officer has his phone out recording obviously distracted, shoots a woman and calls her a “f’ing Bitch” and they think that HELPS the case?!?

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Trump's Truth Social post about elections was almost certainly a Miller special. If he didn't write it he was standing over Trump as he did.
He is the real president.

Fox News claims to be airing the "entire video" -- but they're cutting off before the officer says, "fucking bitch."

Shaking down someone for their Nobel Peace Prize is one for the books. I gotta hand it to Donald Trump. He’s the craziest son of a bitch who ever lived.
Trump tells Hannity he will accept Machado’s Nobel Prize when she gives it to him.
So embarrassing.

The details are muddled but it does appear that the federal agents left the scene.
I guess that's how it works now. Masked feds shoot people then leave the crime scene. That's what the shooter in Minneapolis did too. He did gesture to his buddies to call 911 first which was thoughtful.

I know TV producers work on an incredibly tight schedule and are constantly bouncing between different topic—US invading another country! ICE murdering civilians! Epstein—but there are some easy ways to quickly find past statements that might contradict what a guest is saying.
