It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:
1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society
2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

US must legalize and fully fund research into gun violence. We need to understand the nature of these horrific acts to even begin to manage this.
Call your representatives. Ask for a repeal of the 1997 “Dickey Amendment”. Ask for full funding for reseach of gun violence.

The White House said that after the administration eliminates "woke" culture from the Smithsonian, it would expand to other museums around the country. Would that be possible?
Trump vows to expand his review of U.S. museums. Can he do that?

Because older adults in America famously use X.
Until the government nationalizes X, this is some bullshit. And even then, it's some bullshit.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”.
He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”.
The job was helping people with disabilities.

Sean Duffy: "The truth is, transit across America is dangerous. And these liberals -- liberal mayors -- they want everybody out of cars and into trains but they made the trains unsafe so nobody really wants to ride them ... even big men don't want to ride the subway at those times of night."

Oh crap.
Conversation yesterday:
Pal: I don't get it. If tariffs are supposed to make us make shit here, it's not like they can build factories overnight. It might take a year, two, four years, even.
Me: Not if you ignore environmental regulations, building codes, worker safety. Like a third-world country.
