One person familiar with the federal investigation told NBC News “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups…Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive.”
'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say

Trump's threats to fire Jerome Powell are being covered by the US press with the wrong lens. It's not Democrats vs. Republicans or Trump vs. the Fed. This is a story about why authoritarian rulers who remove constraints on their power destroy prosperity. I explain why here:

A lot of Trump’s appeal comes down to the fact that people whose lives are boring & mediocre because they aren’t particularly bright, talented, or motivated, would very much like to hear a story in which actually it’s someone else’s fault.

If blue states kept their money, they would be fine or even better off. Red states would be in deep financial trouble.

Agree with everything in this piece. But what happens when R voters are told by state propaganda that this bill is actually *not* responsible for their economic hardship, and it's somehow the fault of Dems? Will they believe their own eyes or the propaganda?

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.
