It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

The contrasting images of a DC ghost town/military parade and 1800 American cities and towns with well-attended protests is going to drive Trump batty.

The alt-right is already blaming Democrats for the targeting and killing of Democratic lawmakers.

Here’s Speaker of the House and self-identified “constitutional lawyer” Mike Johnson’s justification for allowing armed officers of the state to execute their jobs with their faces concealed like armed bandits.

It was only a matter of time. Two days ago, we discussed here that something was about to happen. You can't have leaders spewing hate and engaging in oppression and think it's fine.

While Trump deliberately escalates tensions in vulnerable communities, don't forget: He's also directing the Republican Congress to pass a budget that would abandon the very people who most need support. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/06/h...

THIS is what happens when you even consider pardoning those responsible for attempting to kidnap @GovWhitmer -- the BLOOD is on TRUMP's hands and he must be held accountable. No Kings Day NOW: Manhunt underway after Minnesota lawmaker killed and another injured in ‘politically motivated’ shootings

My statement on the tragic and targeted attack on Minnesota elected officials.

Democrats were targeted with their spouses, 1 of the lawmakers is dead, & your reaction to that is to scream at Democrats for making responsible statements early on during an investigation like an abuser saying they deserved it. You’re worthless.

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

WARNING: Police told Brooklyn Park residents and nearby neighbors to NOT answer their doors for a lone police officer.

Cedric Alexander, who is a former Minneapolis Safety Commissioner, is asking a lot of questions...BIG questions... Is this a fake vehicle or an ACTUAL stolen Police Vehicle? Is this a lone actor or others giving him support?

WSJ: Far-Right Groups Buzz With Violent Talk on How to Respond to ‘No Kings’ Protest By @brennasmith.bsky.social and @cammcw.bsky.social Gift link!

Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

The suspect remains at large & was impersonating a police officer when he shot the victims in an “act of targeted political violence.” Tragically both Rep. Melissa Hortman & her husband, Mark, have died. Sen. John Hoffman & his wife, Yvette, remain hospitalized. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The targeted shootings of Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and State Rep. Melissa Hortman are deeply disturbing. Violence is never acceptable. Praying hard for the victims and all who have been affected.

Scoop: Threat intelligence reports obtained by WIRED and @propertyofthepeople.org show military and state-run fusion centers are tracking civilian-made ICE encounter maps, while others distribute "threat" alerts about tomorrow's "No Kings" protests. By me @wired.com (free to read):

I hate to send this message, but Minnesota State police are now advising people in Minnesota not to go to any No Kings protest as the suspect is at large and they found No Kings flyers in his car.

This is just sad and pathetic.

U.S. Marines have detained a civilian for the first time on the streets of Los Angeles, where President Trump ordered them to guard a federal building. The civilian, an Army veteran, said he was on his way to a VA office inside the building. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Why are we playing this game? The U.S. called our diplomats and personnel home 24 hours before the strikes. Obviously we knew.
