THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.

Stay peaceful! But if you have the opportunity to rip off their masks and photograph them, do it. They will try to make nationwide peaceful protests look like a bunch of violent anarchists are trying to destroy the country, and clips of anything burning will be played on endless loops by the media.

Elon Musk gutted the federal government, dismantled key institutions, and cut off food and medicine to some of the poorest people on the planet.
By leaving DOGE, he’s trying to restore his reputation and rescue his struggling businesses. He should never be allowed to recover.

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Warren County Board of Supervisors has instigated a hostile takeover of the Samuels Public Library and are doing slash and burn policies to force their standards on the community that uses the library. Can a governor intervene on the citizenry’s behalf in a county matter?

If there's one thing I hear everywhere I go in Virginia, it's that the cost of living is too high.
You shouldn't have to choose between paying rent or buying groceries for the week. As Governor, I'll do everything in my power to make sure you don't have to make that choice.
