Largely lost in the busy news cycle lately is Douglas County’s proposal to reduce crime by punishing crime victims.

GOP commissioners, DA George Brauchler, and Sheriff Darren Weekly want to fine businesses if they don’t report shoplifting. How this would be enforced is unclear.

Hillary Clinton: "Your economic standing, your wellbeing is directly connected to the abuse of power. How do you hold a president who's abusing power, raising costs, imposing tariffs, raising healthcare costs, how do you hold that president accountable in a midterm? You vote against his party"

Schumer on Trump's post threatening ABC unless Kimmel is pulled: "That is what dictatorships do. That is what autocracies do. And Trump seems to have this penchant that anyone he doesn't agree with, he wants to shut up. That's a dagger to the heart of America ... he wants to be king."

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

AOC: Whether it is a member of congress, whether it is the President to assume and assert and cast blame when the FBI has failed to even apprehend the assailant, is absolutely an irresponsible action.

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others?

Please stop calling it a "political assassination."Charlie Kirk wasn't elected to anything, and calling it that elevates him to something he wasn't. It was not an assassination. It was a murder.

idk man if I had just lost my kid to a school shooting and the news cycle was dominated by people loudly mourning the loss of a guy whose life’s work was radicalizing people, largely children, into thinking that’s a cool and normal thing to do while contributing nothing else, I’d probably go insane

Thank you, Martha Raddatz
RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences?

Nick Fuentes to Trump: "Fúck you. You suck. You're fat, you're a joke, you're stupid, you're not funny... This entire thing has been a scam. We're gonna look back at MAGA movement as the biggest scam in history. The liberals were right we will see Trump as a scam artist."
