National political reporters: consult your gaming desk. You likely have a massively blind spot — this isn’t a dig at anyone, because I have this blind spot too b/c I’m not a gamer and am trying to adjust for it in real time — covering this very important moment if u don’t game & don’t know the memes

I do not in anyway encourage or condone violence, but that doesn’t mean I have to be too upset by it when it’s the foreseeable result of one’s entire public persona.

Somebody just asked me if it sounded far-fetched that Trump would have Charlie Kirk killed to take the heat off of the Epstein files & Trump being a pedophile in them

Whether it’s Republican politicians joking about the murder of Melissa Hortman or Democratic politicians expressing their condolences after the murder of Charlie Kirk, both parties have a extreme rhetoric problem.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.
