Get the sense that attack in Colorado was the work of a single individual and thus hard to prevent. But worth recalling how how many FBI have already been pulled off counterterrorism and other forms of crimes for immigrant round up duty.

Not only are parks profitable, they inject billions to local economies and welcome 300+ million people a year. This is yet more wealth extraction to private interests not just from all of us as a nation but hundreds of communities and small businesses.

All MAGA hat, no cattle cuz government is hard — but they damaged the regulators who scrutinized them and it’s not clear how they plundered our data systems. At some point, there should be a massive investigation into what these fly by nights did. www.wired.com/story/nicole...

BREAKING: Scott Pelley just risked everything to make one thing clear: The attack on free speech isn’t coming—it’s already here. Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead. This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.

Trump says he’s not happy that Putin is bombing civilians every day. But only because his dream of a Nobel Peace Prize isn’t happening. He won’t do anything about it though - except say he’s unhappy. Then back to golf.

George Floyd should be alive today. He should be raising his daughter, living his life. 5 years later, we owe him more than thoughts and hashtags. His daughter said, “My daddy changed the world.” Let’s stop failing her, and him. Congress must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.

Trump reduced the tariffs on China in exchange for nothing. He paused the tariffs on Canada & Mexico in exchange for nothing. He postponed tariffs on EU in exchange for nothing. He threatened Russia with sanctions if they didn’t sign ceasefire & did nothing. Art of the Deal.

Maybe choosing someone who is one of your NY real estate investor pals with no diplomatic or military experience to be the special envoy to deal with Putin, who refuses to bring any help with him from the State Dept & uses Kremlin translators, wasn’t the best plan to end the war.

Trump’s Deputy White House Chief of Staff is his former golf caddie, so obviously none of these people were chosen for their qualifications, competence and experience. Once you’ve established that you will tell anyone who asks that Trump shot a 67, there’s no limit to how high you can go.
