We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Jimmy Kimmel Calls Trump an ‘Arsonist With a Hose’
The L.A.-based host said the city’s problem was the president, not the protests: “We have more so-called ‘unrest’ here when one of our teams wins a championship.”

Making the whole thing a street party is exactly the right approach.
Keep the violence and escalation on the side of the state.
Images of repression, undermine governmental legitimacy.
And the more sympathetic that protesters look, the harder it is to paint them as dangerous.

Completely bizarre to hear tv talk about sending in the military and then you see the actual pics of the protests and people are buying hot dogs and line dancing while the Nat Guard looks on in silent envy.

The GOP prioritizes tanning beds over hospital beds.
Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith refuses to read a line from Republican's legislation that would provide a tax break for owners of tanning beds.
Fernandez: "So if you have a tanning bed, you get a little bit of a tax break and if you need a hospital bed in rural America, you're out of luck."

I must have missed the chapter in “The Art of the Deal” when the pullback erases prior gains.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind.
And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it.

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those.
