Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

I’ve had a bad feeling about what will happen on June 14 for weeks now. It’s time for the left to arm themselves for protection.
Minnesota Rep. Hortman and husband killed, Sen. Hoffman and wife wounded in politically motivated shootings, Gov. Walz says

Two days ago, the IAEA said that Iran was in breach of its nonproliferation obligations.
Reality check:
If we were so concerned about countries having nuclear weapons and not participating in IAEA inspections or the Non-Proliferation Treaty, we'd be going after Israel.
Iran has participated in inspections and was willing to limit nuclear energy programs in exchange for sanction relief.

The ruling tyrants have also sworn to destroy Israel and are known to be actively pursuing nuclear weapons. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that Iran poses a real danger to Israel is ignorant.
That said, Netanyahu wants Israel to stay at war forever so that he can escape the punishment he deserves.

Reminder that seven Democratic senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem and six Dem senators declined to vote either way.
She was confirmed, 59-34.
The good faith experiment is clearly over, and we need the Democratic senators who didn't stand against her nomination to be loud as hell right now.

If you're at protests in NYC, LA, Austin, or anywhere else, take videos. Show the world that Trump's deployment of the National Guard & Marines is unnecessary, unjustified, and meant to intimidate.

I’m calling for a ban on Southern Baptist marriages. Southern Baptists don’t uphold the same values I would in my hypothetical marriage so it should be made illegal.
Southern Baptists Overwhelmingly Call For A Ban On Gay Marriage
Southern Baptists overwhelmingly endorsed a ban on gay marriage — including a call for a reversal of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 10-year-old precedent legalizing it nationwide.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)
