There was no "Emergency" situation with crime in DC. This stunt got a 20 year old young woman killed.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

Home invasions.
Child sex crimes.
Homicide.
Just a couple things that some of the 1500+ January 6 defendants have been convicted of since Trump released them back onto our streets.
The GOP isn't the party of law and order.
They're the party of lawlessness and violence.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

I went to my first ICE watch yesterday and was surprised by how kind and community-centered it felt.
PIRC (@pirc_oregon) runs free ICE watch training in Portland. Once trained, you’ll get text alerts so you can show up when ICE is sighted.
Sometimes just showing up is enough.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

This is an unprecedented historical moment that demands an unprecedented public response.
I’m incredibly thankful for the solidarity shown by elected officials, public figures, constituents, and others over the past few days.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️
Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.
Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

In the 70s 47 used to crash NYC weddings to steal the mikes just to hear his amplified voice. True story. He hated working for his father and he saw that as his route to the media, next came crashing Society Luncheons, steal the mike, rinse and repeat. He eventually went to H'wood with the show.

OBAMA: “What if I sent the National Guard into Texas and said I don’t care what Governor Abbott says… and just kind of took over?”
Imagine that.
Fox News would’ve held a 96-hour emergency broadcast with 18 split screens and a countdown to “Tyranny Day.”
But when it’s Trump doing it? Crickets.

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

I don't see how this isn't disqualifying for an officer of the court.
Joe Maligno (“Can we fix the showers? Gas chambers don’t fit the Hitler aesthetic,”) is listed as assoc. attorney to Staten Island Civil Court Judge Mary Kavanagh, a fellow member of Staten Island Young Republicans.
Noone appearing before her can expect a fair hearing. She should resign.
