There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.
This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

I seem to recall the right storming the Capitol on January 6th and beating police officers with the U.S. flag.

I think that since the overwhelming majority of mass shooters are cisgender men, we should take their guns first.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

We were told that the Trump administration was going to deport immigrants who are criminals
How many criminals do you think are reporting their income to the IRS and paying taxes

@kairyssdal.bsky.social THANK YOU for calling it like it is: yes, it is a lie to say that a tariff is a tax cut. A tariff is a tax on the American people.

One would expect to hear from the publisher of the Times on this. And the Washington Post. And NPR. And all the rest.
Every president of both parties going back generations subscribed to the principle that a president doesn't pick the press corps that is allowed in the room to ask him questions. Trump has just declared that he will.
The message is clear. Given that the White House has already kicked one news organization out of the pool because of coverage it does not like, it is making certain everyone else knows that the rest of us can be barred too if the president does not like our questions or stories.

If you're not paying attention to what is happening, please start. LBGT patients are being denied health care. Government agencies authorized by Congress are being dismantled. Civil servants are being denigrated and dismissed. If you care about these things, please raise your voice in protest. 🇺🇸

A million times YES!! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @whipkclark.bsky.social the time for playing nice is long over. No Dems should vote for anything these people propose.
Here's something Dems can consider doing right now: Band together and tell Trump and the GOP that they will not get *a single vote* for any legislation or nominee until he ends Elon Musk's illegal mission to gut our government.

Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs.
If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

Question for the #birds experts. Is this a purple finch or house finch? I took these photos in Rock Creek Park in Washington DC a few days ago in late afternoon hence the “golden hour” light.

Carter used the power of his post presidency to nearly eradicate guinea worm. There were 3.5 million cases when the Carter Center’s work began in 1986. He said in 2015 that he wanted to see “guinea worm completely eradicated before I die.” There’ve been 7 cases this year. www.npr.org/sections/goa...
Jimmy Carter took on the awful Guinea worm when no one else would — and he triumphed
Carter targeted diseases primarily affecting the poor in remote areas — notably "Guinea worm disease." Because of his commitment, case numbers plummeted from 3.6 million a year to just 13 in 2022.
