What’s really thrown me into a depression over the last day and a half is, the murder was bad enough, but in the aftermath these ghouls in right wing media and the administration will just make fun of your death. No reflection. No “this got out of hand.” Just full on “lol she got what she deserved”

The EPA announced it would set standards for perchlorate, a toxic rocket fuel component found in millions of people’s drinking water that’s linked to serious health effects. The agency is regulating the chemical only because a federal court ordered it to do so in a case brought by us.

Right. The event for which videos have been published from several different perspectives taken at ground zero is being totally misreported and misrepresented. Clearly, the only definitive video of the event is the one recorded from the furthest away with a tree partially blocking the view. Gotcha.

For those of us in solid blue states with Democratic reps who are already adequately pissed off, we should still be calling or writing and demanding they abolish ICE and/or DHS and impeach Noem.
Maybe now is also the time to demand new leadership.

What a surprise that Vance’s reaction to this woman’s murder is to try to exploit it as an opportunity to improve his chances of getting elected in 2028.

This is a US government official calling for any US citizens who dissent from his immigration policy preferences, and "get in the way" of federal officers, to be executed by being shot in the face.
By "get in the way" he means: being present, unarmed, dissenting, & driving away, without attacking.

If the President has seen a different video, he should release it. But the evidence available does not show an officer being run over or a justification for shots to be fired. The rush to excuse this shooting is expected but abhorrent. Gather the facts. Do your job.
