You can draw a straight line between reckless rhetoric like the comments from the Speaker of the House earlier this week and the horrific political violence that just occurred in Minnesota.

Donald Trump needs to address the nation right now and condemn the Minnesota shootings and all forms of political violence. It’s the bare minimum we should expect from any president.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

It’s a pretty good barometer for our politics that Trump’s most high-profile collaborator, Elon Musk, accused Trump publicly of being a pedophile and called for his impeachment like 5 days ago and everyone appears to have simply shrugged and moved on.

📌BREAKING: Great reporting from military.com 📌This is absolutely obscene. Essentially, taxpayers funded a fascist, MAGA rally at a United States Army base. 📌As a veteran, I am APPALLED by the lack of pushback and defense of America from our goddam military "leadership." 📌WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Hate to say it, but we needed the National Guard is this case. Protesters were vandalizing and destroying property. Law enforcr permanently disabled. One was killed. Wouldn't you call them in to help protect the innocent people who are in danger? Unfortunately, it's 4 and a half years too late.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

The reality that masked men without proper identification are confronting and arresting and taking away people should be intolerable to anyone who calls themselves American.

The Republican budget includes $3,850,000,000 in new taxes. If you are wondering who will be paying those taxes, I'll give you one guess.

Just listened to the Hur interview tape and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.
