We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Democrats walked out of a committee vote Thursday to advance the judicial nomination of Emil Bove as Sen. Cory Booker accused the committee chairman of rushing the vote without following Senate rules.

More than 75 former federal and state judges earlier this week signed a letter urging the committee to reject the nomination of Bove, a former criminal defense lawyer for Trump, to the lifetime appointment as a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Please share. Keep talking about it.
The obvious question that now needs to be asked is WHY WAS THE FBI ORDERD to FLAG any Epstein file logs that mentioned TRUMP. IF THE EPSTEIN FILES DIDNT EXIST.

Who authorized that? Only 1 person I can think of and his initials are DJT,.

THE STORY IS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER AND SO IS THE COvERUP

CBS's Colbert cancellation is eerily like Edward R. Murrow's cancellation for criticism of McCarthyism. Both were cancelled by CBS for the same reason, standing up to authoritarianism.

I showed my mother photos of the bedazzled Oval Office earlier today and since she saw it, she keeps quietly laughing at random and muttering things like "plastic Versailles!" Or "it has to be spray paint...."

authoritarians hate public broadcasting because in its ideal form it untethers journalism from the perverse financial incentives inherent in a consolidate corporate ad-based media that (as you see every day) is often too feckless to stand up to wealth and power when it really matters
Senate votes to kill entire public broadcasting budget in blow to NPR and PBS
Senate votes to rescind $1.1 billion from Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

US Citizen detained by ICE: Clearly it didn't matter that I was a citizen, or a veteran, or that I identified who I was. They ignored everything I said, and they just they broke my window and they dragged me out. I let them know that I was a veteran and I wasn't doing anything

Honest question: has the sitting president ever sued anyone before? I feel like the answer is no, but can't say for certain.
