'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

My heart goes out to her, but this is an irresponsible thing to say. Who are the “evildoers” who killed her husband? Who is the “they?” A 22yr old man from Utah shot & killed her husband. We don’t yet know why. Anyone using “they,” as in they” killed Charlie, is inciting division & hate. It’s wrong.

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills.

Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote.

WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

1st morning off in a while... enjoying tea on the front porch with my Lucy girl. ❤️🐾

"This Land Is Your Land" by Woody Guthrie share.google/QADk7d1XQjJc...

-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence

These are the foundations of real freedom.

So glad we all get to experience the Most Ironic Independence Day In American History.

This time, it’s Trump’s war Donald Trump brings America into Israel’s war on Iran.

Trump not only endorsed Netanyahu’s war; he joined it and boasted in his brief statement from the White House that the two had worked as a team like “perhaps no team has ever worked before.” He ended his speech with “God bless Israel” along with “God bless America.”

Not feeling so "young" anymore. Long days are catching up to me.

Juneteenth and the Meaning of Freedom Emancipation is a marker of progress for white Americans, not black ones.

“There is a vast chasm between the concept of freedom inscribed on paper and the reality of freedom in our lives.” Revisit Jelani Cobb‘s piece, from 2020, on Juneteenth and the meaning of freedom.

Juneteenth calls us to understand the realities of our past, celebrate the resilience and achievements of Black Americans, and align the course of our country toward its founding creed of liberty and justice for all. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth!

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

As much as I hate thunder storms... I love that it means Lucy snuggles. ❤️🐾

Republicans slide "nonprofit killer" law into tax bill The White House could end any group's tax-exempt status by accusing it of support for terrorism.

The “nonprofit killer” is back—this time tucked into congressional Republicans’ aggressive new tax proposal, which they’ve dubbed the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill.”

Does a president need to uphold the Constitution? Trump says 'I don't know' The president says a third term is 'not something I'm looking to do,' and the US economy is in a 'transition period'

The president says a third term is "not something I'm looking to do," and the U.S. economy is in a "transition period."
