Yelling “what’s your name???” at people getting arrested for a violation while surrounded by cameras is a great way to dox them.

I just told a pair of soldiers "Happy birthday." They thanked me. America.

A Vance Boelter w/ similar educational timeline as the Minnesota assassin wrote online that he'd attended Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas. I've been there. Here's a quote from founder on wall in lobby.

Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are real quiet when a Dem Gov’s mansion is burned and two MN lawmakers are targeted for assassination. It’s almost as if they only care about one side being targeted for violence….

Note on the apparent “politically motivated assassination” of Minnesota lawmakers — this act of political violence has already inspired conspiracy theories that are being spread by far right social media influencers and within right-wing media. Please refrain from amplifying unverified information.

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

For all the news and posts of about the manhunt for the murderer we need this to be put side by side to know who this evil person took from our country.

If the NYT is no longer using euphemisms in the headline we may actually see seismic shifts. The word assassinated is not a quote and having "targeted political violence" in quotes does not dimish this is a change. How they report the pres and his admin's reaction to this will be telling.

No more talking to these terrorists. No more making common ground. No more business should happen in the Congress or any State leg controlled by Republicans. They want to kill us. We shouldn't enable the gov't to work, that emboldens the cultists following this ideology to do it w/o consequence.

What is the lead on Fox News now and for the rest of the day? If it isn't about the assassination of an elected Democratic representative they are just plain evil and want this country to burn down.

If you stand with @padilla.senate.gov, stand with @replamonica.bsky.social. Tell your Reps & Senators how you feel about the charges against her. 202-224-3121 And call the DOJ comment line: 202-353-1555

I think Republicans really need to understand that if people are denied relief through the legal system, they will find other ways to seek justice, and historically those ways end up being quite violent

Mr. Furley heard you might have Iranian house plants.

Folks, CBO estimate of the distributional effect of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is out: www.cbo.gov/system/files... It's grotesque

Dear @slotkin.senate.gov There's a critical vote today and there is NO WAY to contact you directly. I've never been able to reach you or your staff to express my concern about the crypto bill. As a constituent and an expert in financial market regulation, I am greatly disappointed

Admitting “perfect storm of errors,” DHS has changed its story in the case of Jordin Melgar-Salmeron, the 31yo Salvadoran who, on 5/7, was deported to El Salvador 28 minutes after the US 2d Circuit Court of Appeals forbade his removal pending appeal. ... /1 www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posts a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A. via @swholocron.bsky.social

Always an Onion article.

Declining birth rates are likely driven by "pregnancy avoidance" decisions - people repeatedly deciding that it's not a good time to get pregnant *right now* rather than deciding not to have any (more) children at all, as my colleagues and I show in a new paper. 1/ doi.org/10.1007/s111...
