Gov. Tim Walz has called the shootings of Rep. Melissa Hortman & Sen. John Hoffman what they are: politically motivated assassinations. Tragically, Rep. Hortman & her husband did not survive. Sen. Hoffman & his wife are out of surgery, but no other details are available yet.
Heartbreaking 💔

Minnesota lawmakers shot in targeted home attacks Police are searching for the suspect, who they described as armed and dangerous.

BREAKING: Minnesota state House Leader Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed in their suburban Twin Cities home in one of two "targeted" attacks against sitting Democratic legislators.

This is where we are

Straight-up misogyny is the explanation for 2024 that accords best with the actual vote shifts. But for some reason if you mention it a ton of people rush out of the woodwork to go “no no no! it’s inflation and Harris’s policy choices! Which for some reason only men cared about!”

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow:

George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

I don’t have words… just… horrible.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids “This is the new model, where you work in these plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here,” U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says.

The Secretary of Commerce has a plan for you: “This is the new model, where you work in these plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here.”

Those who have stood up and said HELL NO in court have won nearly all their cases, and in many have made Trump back down. (See also: China, vs Trump tariffs.)

Those who surrendered in advance found Trump asking for more. (See also: Paul, Weiss; general history of appeasement.)

Anyone else find it strange that a man with a 14-year heroin addiction is railing against Narcan—the lifesaving drug that helped drive a sharp drop in overdose deaths after a federal distribution program?

No one said Narcan cures addiction. It prevents funerals. That’s the point. The facts 👇🏾

How Trump Plays Into Putin’s Hands, From Ukraine to Slashing U.S. Institutions (Gift Article) Many of President Trump’s actions have been seen as benefiting Russia either directly or indirectly, so much so that Russian officials have celebrated some of his moves.

This is exceptionally well reported: in case after case Trump has surrendered long time US interests to favor Russia and gained nothing in return. When you put it all together it a staggering surrender.

WTF? FBI agents arrested a Milwaukee county judge on Friday, accusing her of shielding an immigrant from federal authorities. The allegation? That Judge Hannah Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from” someone they were pursuing, according to a now-deleted post by Mr. Patel.

It seems like the federal government wanted to commandeer the judge into doing their law enforcement work, which they cannot do as a constitutional matter. Refusing to assist the federal government is not the same as actively impeding law enforcement. This is highly suspect behavior from the feds.

Democratic members of Congress should probably be made to understand that unless they throw everything they have at this, they are next.

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security

Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

This is absolutely horrifying. People can't afford to file Habeas petitions. And how is anyone going to enforce that this actually happens? And what about the people there that did NOT get due process?

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Immune amnesia: Why even mild measles infections can lead to serious disease later How even mild measles infections can lead to serious illness later

Getting #measles doesn’t confer benefits on the immune system — in fact, it’s just the opposite.
Even a mild case of measles destroys the memory cells that confer resistance to infections the patient has previously fought--called immune amnesia.

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices.

One thing I'll say to Democratic Party insiders...

Please stop listening to people who make all of their money selling TV ads. Just...every Monday for the next year, spend time imagining what you'd do if you couldn't spend money on TV and had to do other things with that money.

I do wish this was more part of the story.

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

Republican senators seek investigation into Signal leak scandal

In rare signs of unrest, top Republican senators are calling for an investigation into the Signal leak scandal and demanding answers from the Trump administration.

A Coast Guard Commander Miscarried. She Nearly Died After Being Denied Care. U.S. service members have long faced strict limits on abortions, even when used to resolve miscarriages. Under federal law, the military will only pay for abortions in cases of rape, incest or to…

The morning that Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C to remove fetal tissue after losing a very wanted pregnancy, she learned the surgery had been canceled because the military’s health insurance plan refused to pay for it.

They claim they can snatch people up, put them on planes, and deport them to a country run by an authoritarian, where those people will be forced to work slave labor at an inhumane prison. All without due process, and in defiance of federal courts.

The hypotheticals are over. This is the nightmare.
