🔥 @adammockler.com : “Every time one of these tragic shootings happens everybody’s at each other’s throats about which side did it but we’re missing a broader pattern in 🇺🇸— this was another white young white dude in his 20’s… an acceleration of radicalization of young men…”

Who in america gained more from Charlie Kirk murder than Donald Trump. He wanted the Epstein files out of the news and he got his wish.Now he's in relax mode.

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.

@msnbc made a mistake firing Matthew Dowd. We are in an insane time when CNN Scott Jennings’ comments are amplified and supported by that network, and MSNBC Matthew Dowd is fired by his network.

Federal agents violently detained a food delivery driver as he emerged from a D.C. coffee shop Saturday morning.

The incident captured on video showed the officers throwing him to the ground and beating him before sweeping him away in an unmarked vehicle. wapo.st/45Egtkc

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Had my first direct encounter with ICE agents staking someone out today and it was a lot like shooing rodents out of the garbage. Shine a light, make some noise, watch them scurry. 10/10 highly recommend.

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth.

The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Read that back.

Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.
