There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office. Every single major Democratic politician condemned the murder of Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile, before EVEN KNOWING WHO THE SHOOTER WAS, the Republican president gave a speech calling for VIOLENCE against Democrats. There are masked thugs running through the streets dragging people out of cars at gunpoint. There was an attempted violent coup at the Capitol building brought on by the President himself. Hell he threatened to INVADE an American city FOUR DAYS AGO. I’m genuinely sad the man died. Not because I agreed with a word he said but because he was a misguided person who was himself caught up in the culture of violence. He deserved to be shouted down for his backward ideas, not murdered. The most sickening part of this whole ordeal is the excitement you see in Republicans, how quickly they moved past any respect for the dead, any reflection on the environment they helped foster, straight into who should be murdered next. THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO THE SHOOTER IS, yet they are ignoring the obvious marks of a professional killer who clearly had a highly trained military background, and the fact that these guys tend to be right wing nut jobs with an obscure axe to grind. But they’ve already given him (and we all know it’s a him not a her) an identity: the faceless embodiment of everything they hate and fear with a clearly coordinated messaging campaign to call him a “leftist.” So it’s clear what they want and it’s not peace. They want a justification for more violence. They want a bloody shirt they can point to and say, “See? THIS is why there are thugs in the streets in masks pulling people from cars at gunpoint. THIS is why we must end the American experiment in democracy.” And the most pathetic part of all is that none of it is necessary. Violent crime is down. Everywhere. This is all INVENTED. And it was done so to protect the pursuit of power of one man: a dim-witted child rapist who became a violent extremist simply because selling his dark vision of America was the only way his corrupt, soulless ass could stay out of jail.

In the last few years we've seen: - The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer - The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC - The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi - Multiple assassination attempts against Trump - The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife - Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson - The assassination of Charlie Kirk Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all. The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

The thing that gets me about the Epstein story is that while most pedophilia is perpetrated by family members and trusted individuals known to the family, this Epstein story *is* the Eyes Wide Shut Evil Elite Cabal stuff MAGA and Q people have always talked about. It's Epstein and Trump and billionaires and politicians and well known "elites", and now that it's here with evidence like this birthday book, they don't want to have anything to do with it because Donald Trump is involved. It is horrific and it's shameful.

Odd move from the president who worked so hard to convince his base that he was anti-war - but no doubt he'd rather have folks puzzling over this than thinking about his deep bond with Jeffrey Epstein.

Neil deGrass Tyson: "How sad it must be believing that scientists, historians, scholars, economists, journalists would devote their entire lives to deceiving you, but a con man proven in court to be a lying felon is your beacon of truth & honesty"

If you hated Biden because you didn’t want an old guy in charge and prices were too high and the government was too involved in the private sector and there was chaos on the street oh boy I’ve got bad news.

Serious question: why would self-proclaimed 'America First' nationalists eliminate agencies that monitor foreign efforts to influence the public and cyber threats from abroad? Why?

Democrats pushed for a nationwide ban on gerrymandering and even passed a bill doing that in the House. Every Republican voted against it.

Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and maintain the House despite their unpopular policies, I have tremendous respect for how Governor Newsom has approached this. He’s put forward a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time.

We’re grateful to President @BarackObama for being in this fight with us and supporting our mission. California is advancing a process that gives voters the final say on implementing new maps. This is a fair and responsible response to Trump’s unprecedented power grab.

People who are against kids eating meals at the school they are required to be at are the worst people in the world. People who say "it's not free, it's MY TAXES". Good! Feed kids, build a better community. That's a GREAT use of taxes you selfish asshole!

Donald Trump is going to deploy the National Guard in DC for no other reason than he is trying to make you forget he’s Epstein’s wingman.

Scared? If we stop the Texas steal & win the House, your guy’s crimes & corruption will be exposed for all to see. The girls traded with Epstein. The bribes taken from foreign governments. And when he goes down, your corrupt, impeached, twice indicted ass is going down with him!

It is so frustrating to watch Republicans straight up lie to their constituents day after day with no accountability. This district was drawn by REPUBLICANS so that all the adjacent districts would have no Democrats. This is an example of REPUBLICAN gerrymandering.
