Amen. Charlie Kirk was a hate monger who spread division. He wanted Americans to hate each other.
No, Charlie Kirk wasn't practicing politics the right way.

His assassination deserves full condemnation writes @davidcorn.bsky.social, but his full impact should not be sidestepped. 👇

@gaslightanthem.bsky.social I saw you guys in NH Wednesday. It was the first time I heard of your band. I am really sorry I hadn’t discovered you earlier. Great show I will catch you the next time you are in New England. I was very disappointed with Counting Crows.

Trumps America.
How shameful
#GVerse #Outrageous - Police just arrested an 80-year-old #Veteran protesting #Shit4Brain’s parade at the Capitol after he “crossed a barrier.”

Police were caught on tape holding his walker instead of letting him use it.

He served this country.

This is shameful.

I have been a lawyer since 1989. I don’t understand how the “best and brightest” lawyers did not see this coming. Who would hire a law firm that was so ignorant of the law that they refused to fight to protect the themselves, when it was clear they would win. They look like weak losers.

The single biggest factor influencing academic success of children is if their parents read to them. I cannot even comprehend the ignorance of feeling that reading to your young children is boring. It doesn’t even require effort it was the high point of my day as a young dad.

👀 "When faced with 46% tariffs from Trump, Vietnam fast-tracked a $1.5 billion Trump golf resort. Ignoring its own laws, Vietnam rubber stamped the project. Just 3 mths after paperwork was filed — and a few days after Trump’s trade negotiator met w/ Vietnam’s trade minister — groundbreaking began."
Washington has a major corruption problem. From accepting jets from Qatar to selling pardons, the corruption hurts all of us. If you know people who regret their vote or didn’t vote, try to gently educate them about the dangers of this administration. mindyschwartz.substack.com/p/do-republi...

Why aren’t these people suing the government for damages?
NEW: The Trump administration has conceded that it improperly deported another Salvadoran man in violation of a court order — blaming a "confluence of administrative errors."

The man's lawyer plans to demand his return.

Trump says 'nothing' will happen during Ukraine peace talks as Putin skips out - NBC News. I thought this war would be over on day one. I also thought China would pay the tariffs and Mexico would pay for the wall and inflation would drop…and… So many lies and so many gullible idiots.
