One thing I’m really struggling with today is the fact that the director of the FBI is a conspiracy theorist who promoted QAnon and called Jan. 6th insurrectionists political prisoners.

This is the guy we’re now supposed to give the benefit of the doubt when he’s releasing information.

In Miller's telling, those putting their worst foot forward online after Kirk’s murder weren’t just displaying a lack of empathy that characterizes so much of our ultra-polarized, social media age. They were the deliberate outcome of a liberal plot.

“A real president doesn’t push an angry, hateful, divisive message in the aftermath of a political assassination…pit American against American…incite violence…prioritize silencing dissent and seeking retribution…prefer dictatorship over democracy.”

Did not watch this event, but I hope the media coverage notes that Vance lied multiple times.

JD Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.”

Charlie Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

This is false. For example, the libertarian @cato.org breaks down the numbers, showing about 6 deaths from right-wing politically motivated attackers for every 1 from left-wing attackers.
Moreover, the claim that shooters represent anyone other than an unhinged fraction of society is the deeper lie.

I became eligible for Medicare a decade ago.

The government administers the claims and payment process. The government does not "run" my care or the care system.

I go to any participating provider without red tape. The reimbursement beats any employer plan that I ever had.

So:

People are getting doxxed & fired for calling out the racist shyt this guy said out of his own mouth.

No? Just ask the people he's attacking.

There is a fundamental difference between those who abhor democracy & a pluralistic society & want to exterminate us, and everyone else.
There is a thriving culture online of young, radicalized men who radicalize one another, pushing each other to be more dangerous.

Trump has played tough guy with Putin by giving him 2 weeks to do this, 30 days for that, 15 days or else. But nothing happens by either dictator.

Now Trump wants major sanctions on Russia, but only if NATO stops buying their oil.

More threats with no action. Trump is being played like a fiddle‼️

By gerrymandering themselves into one-party (or nearly one-party) rule, red states are attempting to control blue, urban cities while stealing their representation in Congress.

This is essentially taxation without representation, something Americans are famously comfortable with.
“They killed Charlie Kirk — the least that we can do is go through a legal process and redistrict Indiana into a nine to zero map,” Banks said.

Indiana’s Republican senator is citing Kirk’s killing as a justification for gerrymandering Congress even further, which Banks already supported
some Republicans now pushing for a *9-0* map of Indiana.

the state is currently 7-2; prior discussion had centered on breaking up IN-01 for a 8-1 map.
