Minnesota shooting suspect had a list of dozens of potential Democratic targets, prosecutors say All of the politicians named in his writing were Democrats, including more than 45 state and federal officials in Minnesota, U.S. Attorney Joseph Thompson said.

I call on media to REFUSE the framing pushed by right wing chaos agents like Cernovitch & Rufo on this act of what appears to be political violence. The Democratic former Speaker of the Minnesota House was assasinated along with/her husband. The killers was hunting Dems. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.

For an actual public servant.

Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

Trump released a video tonight promising to "find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity, and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it."

If u watch the whole clip here this is about as good as you’re gonna get from a Republican leader rn; contrast it with the myriad other prominent conservatives in politics and media calling for blood, gore, and preemptive blame games

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

Stephen Miller: "All these demonstrators that you've seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they're not part of the city and never have been ... we're gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they're all over 90 years old."

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Is Outsourcing More of His Office’s Work to Costly Private Lawyers Despite having an office of hundreds of attorneys, Ken Paxton is frequently opting for private lawyers — many to whom he has personal or political ties — to argue on behalf of Texas. One attorney…

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641.

As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570.

The Republican senate confirms this guy? A final victory for the cult.

A late night message from Gavin Newsom

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

So congress going home for vacation early! Because of Epstein. Demand a town hall now, they have free time!

“FEMA Search & Rescue chief resigns after frustration with the Texas flood response + Trump’s efforts to dismantle the agency… unable to quickly mobilize critical resources in the first hours of the flood…”

This is wild — House Republicans are so scared of voting to release the Epstein files they’re going home early.

(We agree, @AdamKinzinger, telephone town halls don’t count. But that’s all we get around here. @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn @RepOgles @RepJohnRose)

ICE just prevented me from entering an immigration detention facility in my district—a clear violation of federal law.

Members of Congress have the right to immediately access these facilities. Listen here 👇

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Nebraska concerts canceled after Czech musician denied entry into U.S. Jaroslav Skuta, a clarinetist from the Czech Republic, was scheduled to play four concerts - Saturday in Wilber, Sunday in Omaha, Monday in Lincoln and Tuesday in Fremont, but he was detained at the a...

The clarinetist was detained by officials at Detroit airport & refused entrance. “For hours I was in their custody—phone & all devices confiscated, very rude bullying interrogation, threatening me with jail time. After a couple hours of this, they ultimately ordered to send me back home to Prague.”

A corrupted Supreme Court sinks to new lows The Trumpist majority closed the term with a ruling that could rip the nation apart.

New in PN: A corrupted Supreme Court sinks to new lows

"When future historians grapple with how Trump managed to so quickly and so thoroughly dismantle American democracy, the role of the Roberts Court cannot be overstated."

The depth of cynicism required to pass this grotesque bill—a bill that spits in the face of nearly every voter except for the richest among us—should be enough to convince all of us to get these kowtowing Republicans out of office.

Every one of these deaths is on the hands of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio. History should never forget.

Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Warnock: A budget is not just a fiscal document. A budget is a moral document. Show me your budget and I'll show you who you think matters and who doesn't. And if this awful budget were an EKG, it would suggest that our nation has a heart problem and is in need of moral surgery
