The attack on Charlie Kirk is horrifying.
Political violence has no place in this country and should never become the norm.
I’m sending my sympathies to his family and friends at this time.

I hope Charlie Kirk recovers quickly then, like James Brady, uses his megaphone to help advocate for common sense limits on firearms.

Trump suggests he’s going to take tonight’s win in the courts and potentially deploy the National Guard to other cities.
“…but this is much bigger than Gavin, because all over the United States, if our Cities, and our people, need protection, we are the ones to give it to them…”

Padilla: If this is how DHS responds to a senator with a question you can only imagine what they're doing to farm workers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California.

OK so the federal government has effectively declared war on California. Noem states, “We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate (Los Angeles) from (its) leadership.”
The federal government decides who will govern a city, and will use the military to enforce. Sounds like fascism to me.

Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
