Statement from the two children of Melissa and Mark Hortman.
“Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together.”
Statement from Sophie and Colin Hortman Sophie and Colin Hortman released the following statement on behalf of the Hortman family: "We are devastated and heartbroken at the loss of our parents, Melissa and Mark. They were the bright lights at the center of our lives, and we can't believe they are gone. Their love for us was boundless. We miss them so much. "We want everyone to know that we are both safe and with loved ones. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received, and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy as we grieve. "Our family would like to thank law enforcement for their swift action that saved others and for the coordination across communities that led to the arrest of the man who murdered our parents. We especially would like to thank the officers who were first on the scene to our parents' home and their heroic attempts to rescue our mom and dad. "Our parents touched so many lives, and they leave behind an incredible legacy of dedication to their community that will live on in us, their friends, their colleagues and co-workers, and every single person who knew and loved them. "If you would like to honor the memory of Mark and Melissa, please consider the following: • Plant a tree. • Visit a local park and make use of their amenities, especially a bike trail. • Pet a dog. A golden retriever is ideal, but any will do. • Tell your loved ones a cheesy dad joke and laugh about it. • Bake something — bread for Mark or a cake for Melissa, and share it with someone. • Try a new hobby and enjoy learning something. • Stand up for what you believe in, especially if that thing is justice and peace. "Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else."

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Old Guard Democrats on the hill need to get over their prejudice against digital media and content creators if they want to amplify their messages. Get on every podcast every day. Build audiences. Create a massive digital messaging network. Adapt or get left behind.

...unless Biden dispatches a SEAL team to Mar-a-Lago, but other than that unlikely event, no. So just shut the fuck up about "Biden's pardon gives Trump license to..."

The VOTERS gave Trump license to do whatever he wants, not Biden.

Trump was already going to be a lawless, dictatorial asshole whose administration is marked by cronyism, graft, fraud, racism, misogyny, hate, fear, conspiracy theories, fascism, and adject failure.

Biden's actions have absolutely NO impact on that inevitability...
