Jake Tapper should be best understood now as someone who works in service of helping to launder GOP talking points. "those who truly need it & deserve it" is designed to be not just a softball to Katie Britt but a verbatim repeating of the GOPs lie of what their cuts will do & who they will effect.

How do they get away with this? The bill they passed cuts Medicaid by $793 BILLION. $793 BILLION. It's in the bill. They wrote it. Their own budget office says 10 million people will lose Medicaid coverage. Just wild.

NEW: ABC, Associated Press & the Washington Post are all confirming tonight’s CNN story. The official damage assessment shows that US strikes did not destroy Iran’s nuclear program. It likely only set it back a few months. And Iran’s enriched uranium is now missing. Trump lies as he breathes.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

Political violence is a profound evil, attacking the idea of democratic self-rule. We at @WisDems are sending support to those in grief and shock in our neighboring state. No matter their politics, no one should have to fear for their lives in order to serve in public office.

I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.
