GOT HIM! Investigators found the 9mm Beretta Boelter used in the shootings. They found 5 guns — including AR-15-style rifles and several rounds of ammo — and notebook listing over 45 Minnesota officials. Trump cut staffing in the FBI office focused on domestic terrorism. apnews.com/article/minn...

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

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

Every single Republican president in my lifetime has crashed the goddamn economy and gotten us into the middle of an idiotic, poorly planned war in the Middle East.

The US president went to Canada's G7 meeting to... Advocate for Putin's membership.

He has to pay $2.3M.

This may have been part of why he fled. The G7 poll asking nations their level of confidence in trump and he was well underwater in every one. Video available in link. www.facebook.com/share/r/16JM...

Hedgie allowed me to give him a good back scratch after his bath. As thanks, he’s turned down the huffing volume as he dries off in his towel on my chest. A cute pic from the bath. Look at that bewildered face.

More of this please

The world stands at an inflection point. So this G7 Summit will be defined by geoeconomics and geopolitics. It’s a chance for open and frank conversations. And for building unity on pressing global issues among close partners. europa.eu/!KdrTJn

Impressive they arrested the assassin in Minnesota without harming him when they can’t reliably pull off a traffic stop without killing someone. Can’t qwhyte figure out what the difference is.

This is worth 3 minutes of your time. No one wants to eat at a restaurant that only serves bland chicken. (It’s not about chicken, or restaurants, tho)

The theme for this feed is Everything is Connected. The posts cover news and politics from all over the world, things that I think it’s worth paying attention to but which may not always get priority in other media. Even if it happens 5000 miles away it can still roll up on your doorstep.

So Trump now calls for the evacuation of Tehran.

A Canadian Indigenous leader who greeted world heads of state arriving for the Group of Seven summit says he was “filled with rage” and considered leaving before Donald Trump arrived — saying the U.S. president has “caused much pain and suffering in the world.”

When they can pretend the violence came from the left, they insist all Democrats are responsible and ideology is to blame. When there's no denying the violence came from the right, though, they back off and pretend ideology had nothing to do with it. Certainly not anything *they* said.
