NEW: Video from TMZ appears to show Trump making an obscene gesture and mouthing expletives to a heckler in Detroit.
In a statement, the White House said: "A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the president gave an appropriate and unambiguous response."

Demolishing campaign finance rules. Gutting the Voting Rights Act. Allowing gerrymandered congressional districts. It’s time for the ideologues on the Supreme Court to stop meddling in elections. bit.ly/4a7H8d8
Supreme Court Hammers Away at Democracy
With its latest gerrymandering decision, the Court is creating a political system primed for distortion and deeper division.

Donald Trump wants to send as much as $100,000 in cash to each person in Greenland. With 56,000 people, that's $5.6 BILLION. Meanwhile they're slashing Veterans care, while Americans can't afford groceries. Here's our response: F*** No.

It's time to state clearly that if MAGA and Republicans can't condemn any part of this shooting, continue to blame the victim for it, and even hint that it's a just outcome that others "deserve," that's a crossing of the line that the rest of us won't ever be able to forget.
Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

It’s not enough for these people to brazenly lie to cover up a cold blooded killing by a trigger happy federal goon, they have to make up lies about the woman they killed and people like her to spit on her grave.

ICE policy requires the use of bodyworn cameras. Video should be available from every agent who was involved in the death of a citizen in Minneapolis. ICE should release all of that video so the public can have clarity about the Secy's claim the shooting was self defense. www.ice.gov/news/release...

This political attack on Kelly continues to be more and more dangerous, un-American, and authoritarian.
It’s beyond bad for our military, our politics, our free speech, and our democracy.
And if they can do it to Sen Kelly, they can do it to any other of the 2 million military retirees in America.

Community violence intervention has demonstrated its effectiveness. Continued support doesn’t require a job-killing head tax.

I read Kelly has a 14yr old daughter, which makes her vile comments that much worse. A guest really needs to ask her point blank how she would feel if some old man raped her daughter bc she continues to advocate for child rapists.
