I'm sick after seeing the video of Charlie Kirk being shot.
Violence against civilians is never okay. Political violence — no matter who is hurt — will always beget worse political violence. And it has no place in our country.

Just so we’re clear, Charlie Kirk shouldn’t be shot down while talking and kids shouldn’t be shot down in classrooms. It’s that easy. However, a lot of powerful people are okay with both things, so here we are, surrounded by bullets, blood, thoughts, and prayers.

I have never heard of lawyers being allowed anonymity, anywhere
Lawyers for ICE are increasingly hiding their identities in court. This is completely unprecedented.
“We’re not really doing names publicly,” said Judge ShaSha Xu — after stating her own name and those of the immigrants and their lawyers.

The data is undeniable:
•15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access.
•12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access.

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

GOP tax bill would cost poor Americans $1,600 a year and boost highest earners by $12,000, CBO says
The Republican tax bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives would cost the poorest Americans roughly $1,600 a year while increasing the income of the wealthiest households by an average of $12,000 annually, according to a new analysis released Thursday by the Congressional Budget Office. Middle-income households would see a boost of roughly $500 to $1,000 per year under Republican President Donald Trump's tax bill, the CBO found.

Just to be clear, Noem is talking about a coup. Taking away power from democratically elected officials away to instill into power their own sycophants and loyalists while using aggression to silence protestors, reporters, and even people just trying to return home.
SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”
