There is no such thing as an overreaction with what has now happened. This is the line in the sand. Every red hat who supports killing Americans is a traitor.

It's a private security goon, military contractor and international criminal for hire. The list of places he's worked is a litany of the world's most politically violent places; his job is political violence.

Minnesota police acknowledge that the targeted attack on lawmakers is an act of terrorism — politicly motivated with the intention/goal of intimidating civilians

Targeted by a politically motivated assassin, Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark are dead. Sen. John Hoffman was also shot — yet not one fucking word from the fascist authoritarian despot who is responsible for making political violence commonplace in America. 😡

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

This is devastating. And yes, this is a political assassination. I have ZERO difficulty calling it that. Because that’s the truth. Period. Disgusting. Stay safe today, everyone.

NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990. In fact, it would be the largest transfer ever. Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

It isn’t just that the #Tesla hit the child, it’s that the self-driving feature does a hit and run after. It just speeds up and takes off. If you watch videos by journalists who were inside the cars for this test, they point that out. It’s scary and disgusting. #TeslaTakedown #MuskMustFall

DHS is arguing members of the Secret Service don't know who a U.S. Senator is, that he didn't identify himself (he does in the tape), lunged towards the Noem (not evident on the tape), and somehow all this necessitated him being hauled away, thrown to the ground and cuffed. x.com/DHSgov/statu...
