BREAKING: Another avoidable American mass shooting.
Early reports indicate 20 people or more may have been shot at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
It’s never too early to politicize this for a safer America. No other country in the world does this happen so often.

Maybe I get Trump’s attacks on Ilhan Omar. She came on a rare Einstein visa, had an anchor baby & has no public service record since 2006.
Wait. That’s Melania.
Ilhan Omar became a citizen in 2000 after 8 years of vetting and has decades of public service fighting for working people and democracy.

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.

The oligarchs want political power to advantage their businesses. The autocrat wants key businesses to be controlled by allies in service of strengthening his regime.
These arrangements work out nicely for everyone until the oligarch accidentally falls out of a window.

Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment.
They are openly saying this.
