What we seem to know about Coeur d'Alene shooting is that multiple people have been shot, 2 are dead and a fireman at the scene said it was clear fire was set to lure them in. Things could change. The scene is still active 3+ hours in.

The Coeur d'Alene shooting of first responders wreaks of some extremist lunatic. My guess is they'll be local and national elements to the story as it unfolds.

Democrats are trying hard in the Senate today but it still feels 'meh'.

Democrats are forcing the 'big beautiful bill' be read on the Senate floor. It'll take 15 hours. --- Niccce.

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

Make your call today. On April 25th, in Frankenmuth, MI, Democrat @slotkin.senate.gov said she’s supporting GOP and agribusiness trying to cut farm worker wages. If you stand with farmworkers, act now. Protect farm worker wages! #wefeedyou
