It's maddening that the left and right see 2 different realities. Republicans see the left as the radical, violent ones. But more than three-quarters of extremist killings have been by right-wing actors--usually white supremacists. You won't see that on Fox. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."

Trump has made the presidency into a cruel game, where he calls the shots. He lives in the feedback loop of media coverage. America to Trump is a reality show. And supporters still cling to him. It's incomprehensible. Sorry, Kentucky. You are part of the problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...
