It was totally against protocol, their training is shit & it was a bad shooting.
Everyone says it was murder.
Everyone says she was trying to turn the car away.
The ONLY PEOPLE who disagree are Trump supporters.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Texans who get insurance from healthcare.gov can now see how much their plan will cost in 2026.
Prices are higher for MILLIONS because Republicans are getting rid of critical tax credits.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

Here’s what inaction on ACA tax credits means: A 60-year-old Western PA couple making $80,000/year seeing health insurance premiums go up $12,000 per year. It could be a crushing blow.
That's what's coming, unless the Republicans work with Democrats to fix the healthcare crisis they've created.

Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
