Memo to public officials: if you didn’t make a statement condemning the murder of Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, then I have no interest in anything you have to say about the murder of Charlie Kirk.

The right is leveraging a murder to blame Dems.
Jesse Watters is convincing Fox viewers the killer was a liberal. Based on what? The chyron says “assassin still on the loose” as he speaks.
Trump dropped a video too, blaming the left with zero evidence.
The goal is violence. And it’s coordinated.

The UK fired their ambassador to the US over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Meanwhile, Epstein’s best friend remains the President of the United States.

This is a very Nazi thing to say, actually.
Trump: "For years those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we're seeing in our country & it must stop right now. My admin will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity"

You people trying to rewrite the history of who Charlie Kirk was are pathetic. He used his organization to bully, dox and attack people he didn't agree with. Free speech my ass. He was one of the worst aspects of American politics. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

He's the one inciting violence
There are masked thugs running through the streets dragging people out of cars at gunpoint.
There was an attempted violent coup at the Capitol building brought on by the President himself.
Hell he threatened to invade an American city just FOUR DAYS AGO.

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power.
The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

The Attorney General of the United States — the chief *law enforcement* officer of the country — just told Apple and Google that they can break the law with impunity. Maybe you like this result; but is this the kind of country you want to live in? open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...
124. The Thursday Night Massacre(s)
Two very different episodes on Thursday provide growing evidence of a Department of Justice that is showing less respect, by the day, for the rule of law.

And for the third straight day, the rest of the legacy media did nothing to stand up for the First Amendment. No boycott, no walkout, nothing but business as usual.
Then, they wonder why people are canceling subscriptions and turning off their TV's while independent news outlets are thriving.

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.
