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.

It is also a lie that you are amplifying.

Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.

"Trump and Republicans are going to cheat to stay in power. How do we fight back?"

This should be the question Democratic leaders are asking privately, and publicly, they need to sound the alarm and provide solutions.

Or they can keep attacking Mamdani

So sad. As if I needed another reason to be skeptical of #AI.

What the Detroit Tigers are building seems very, very real and as a result, the Tigers vault to No. 4 in USA TODAY Sports' MLB power rankings.

Be mindful of the smaller court β€” you don't have as much time to react. I've played tennis for decades without a serious injury but severely injured my back in a pickleball tournament last year while rotating my body in reaction to a shot. The perception of pickleball as a "safer" sport is a myth.

Trump Wants to Be President for Lifeβ€”and He’s Already Preparing for It No, he’s not β€œjoking” when he portrays himself as a king and muses about staying in office past 2028. Just look at everything he’s done this month.

There’s no one around to stop Trump from declaring martial law and suspending the Constitution or even an election.

The outpouring of anger at health insurance companies shows it would’ve been a winning issue to campaign onβ€”if Democrats were willing to offer us even some small scraps. But these social murderers are their friends, colleagues and most important constituents. Ruling class solidarity!
