The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

For sure, five times a day Trump is having a "I hate being president" tantrum. Then, Eric strokes him and shows him their account balances growing. And then Stephen Miller reminds him of all the people of color and women whose lives they can make miserable. And then he sucks on his binky and sleeps.

www.axios.com/2025/06/15/a... Padilla says FBI and National Guard escorted him into Noem's press conference

We absolutely must not forget what this administration did to Senator Padilla, because it tells us what they are willing to do to us.

The assassin has a wife AND a roommate, and both of them are walking around free?

If they were Black the house would be under arrest.

Mike Lee was born with every conceivable advantage in life. His father was US Solicitor Gen & dean of BYU Law, where Mike went to school. Older brother UT Sup Ct justice. Then he got jobs where family connections certainly help open doors. But he decided he wanted to be Catturd.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

I sure hope MN officials are involved in Boelter's interrogation, b/c I'm pretty sure FBI HQ isn't interested in how he was radicalized, and the country needs to know, to be prepared for more.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Friend: What keeps you motivated to keep doing what you do Me: Spite

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 24 states. Two points: This is a very large caseload for this point in the election cycle. It is more evenly spread across states than usual which reflects the creep of voter suppression laws into even safe GOP states.

Political violence must always be condemned.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Ben Shapiro getting all upset at the parade coverage as though he isn't used to taking part in activities where no one comes

"This is what you get when you order your 79th birthday celebration from Temu, but didn't pay the tariffs."

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

This is how it’s done! 👊🏿👊🏾👊🏽👊🏼👊🏻

“When they slaughtered Congress, we didn't wake up. When they blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution, we didn't wake up then, either. Nothing changes instantaneously. In a gradually heating bathtub, you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” —Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

@atrupar.com wins the internet today! 👏👏👏

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Dear Congress, We don’t want a king. So do your jobs or resign. Sincerely, Americans who believe in the Constitution #RemoveTrump #NoKings

Holy shit, New York! Here’s the full view. #NoKings #50501Movement

We’re closing in on the 3.5% rule! 8.6 million and counting! We’re in awe. Lots of events still happening make sure to be counted. Big towns, small towns you showed up.

San Diego showing up ✊

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

they're having a hard time hiding their boredom

Omgggg

I had no idea fascism would be this boring.

Hmmm 🤔

Newsom’s social media team is killing it. (This isn’t an old picture. It’s from right now. I asked.) 😂😂😂😂

A listless speech from a draft-dodger who has denigrated the army for nearly 80 years and degraded it since he became commander-in-chief produces virtually no reaction from the crowd. And then they sing happy birthday as if there would be a firing squad if they did not.

All the credit that Tim Walz got as a VP candidate for good stuff that Minnesota has done? Melissa Hortman (and a bunch of other women) led the hard fight to get bills on his desk and make it politically safe for him to sign.

What I’d like to know right now is, where are all of the “Preppers” who “prepped” for the day the Dems and United Nations sent the military into our communities? Who knew it would be Repubs that did it, instead? Almost literally, every Dem EVER! ~No Kings~

Massive #NoKings march in New York City!

MSNBC is reporting 200,000 people on the streets in NYC for #NoKings, in the rain. Incredible.

No kings, only Pride in Boston today. From Zooey and I. Stay strong everyone.

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

Los Angeles. Just wow.

The Protests are going well. apnews.com/article/no-k...

You know that moment, when a dog cocks his head back and angles his nose upward because he can sense something approaching, something we cannot see at the moment. I feel that now.

Think about this: Sen Padilla is on the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Border Security and Immigration. There is ZERO chance that Kristi Noem does not know who he is! ZERO!!! Kristi Noem is a liar (and an animal abuser, but I digress).
