People celebrating Luigi Mangione, the health care CEO assassin, need to understand that vigilante killings are not celebrated or in any way condoned in the United States. We are a civilized country that values the lives of its citizens.

Guns are the leading cause of death of children and teens in the United States.
I wish the establishment cared as much about their lives as they do CEOs.

So because *other* politicians have drinking problems, somehow that's adequate justification to put one in charge of the Pentagon. Got it.

It is clear from his interview today that Trump is going to expect Bondi and Patel to investigate and prosecute his political opponents. Three questions:
How will the media cover?
What will pro-democracy leaders and orgs do?
Most important: Who will stand up and who will obey?

Sednaya prison, Assad's human slaughter house and rape centre is being liberated. Regime is withdrawing. The images, evidence & information that will be extracted from this prison alone will likely shake the region and Syrian society. Thousands are waiting for news about their loved ones. #freeSyria

Chris Christie told Margaret Hoover that Charles Kushner's criminal case was "one of the most loathsome, disgusting crimes" he had handled.
Trump just nominated Kushner to be the US Ambassador to France.

Getting close to blocking anyone in my mentions arguing that the Biden pardon of his son is a big deal. It's just not.
I absolutely do not care.
You cannot make me.

Regardless of your view of Biden's decision to pardon his son, this reaction from a prominent, well respected reporter illustrates why the legacy media is in such steep decline.
Had Biden wanted to explain, there were an endless set of more relevant options available to him than a news conference.
