Note: This is me β€” I asked this question.

You’ll hear me say β€œyes you have” here β€” because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

A lot of ppl see capitalism as the problem here, but a big part of what's going on is that the basic institutional underpinnings of real deal capitalism have come loose because the richest capitalists don't actually want to be capitalists, because that's a lot of work and a lot of risk.

American protest is getting more playful. That doesn’t mean we’re not serious | Cas Holman Play makes us more agile and resilient. Bring on the frog costumes and naked cyclists

"To be playful in this moment in history is not to take it lightly. In fact, the seriousness of this time requires a resilience learned and practiced in play." Amen.

Thinking Kimmel's suspension is just noise? This Analysis exposes how Kirk's death is weaponized against the left, showing the real threat that 75 years of data reveal, and the price of silence. https://americanmanifesto.news/warning-we-will-be-decimated-if-we-stays-quiet

We should leave the US flag permanently at half-mast for ALL the victims of gun violence until we have the political will to ban assault weapons, license, and register firearms, close loopholes, increase waiting times for gun purchases, and require gun safety training for all gun owners.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

While several had great moments today, as I saw it, three people...in particular...knocked the stuffing out of Kash Patel's nonsensical theatrical work..and his failed efforts as a thespian.

1. Raskin (D)

2. Swalwell (D)

3. Massie (R)

They all made Patel look like the bullshit artist he is.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office.

Ben Shapiro vows to 'pick up that blood-stained microphone where Charlie left it' "We will never stop telling the truth. We will never stop debating and discussing," Ben Shapiro said in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death.

Like, I disagree with Ben Shapiro about, well, everything, but at least he was honest when he was like, β€˜Give me Kirk’s bloodstained microphone.’ It’s morally reprehensible, but at least he wasn’t trying to pretend he cared.

Cassidy is going to invite R.F.K. to testify later. His idea of radical transparency is hearings. We think making data public before decisions are made is the real sunlight we need. And barring ACIP members who are anti-vax and conflicted.

Ghislaine Maxwell has been barred from participating in service dog training while in prison because of her crimes.

I feel like if prison officials don't trust you around dogs, you shouldn't be eligible for a pardon under any circumstances.

New Texas law aims to save lives by clarifying the state abortion ban. Will it work? In Texas, where abortion is banned, a bipartisan group of lawmakers, medical associations, and groups on either side of the issue worked together to clarify when abortion can be used in emergencies.
