Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it .

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, β€œI’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump Want War They are ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe and ignoring the on-the-ground facts to justify their dangerous invasions

"Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country...It's hard to overstate how perilous this moment is as Dem governors must decide how they will respond to Trump’s unrelenting efforts to stoke more violence and seize more power." www.americaamerica.news/p/stephen-mi...

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. β€œI was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. β€œBut they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

We’ve gotten several messages that the Trump administration has tampered with federal employees’ email systems, making some people’s automatic Out of Office replies blame the government shutdown on the β€œradical left.” This was done without the employees’ knowledge.

JUST IN: Former Trump spiritual adviser and Texas megachurch pastor Robert Morris pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl.

He will serve only 6 months in jail and pay $250,000 in restitution.

Multiple major news outlets such as the NYT, AP, and CBS news all omitted mention of that requirement in their articles describing the proposals despite having copies of it.

It's infuriating. They're hiding what this administration is doing to trans people.

Alt text: Screenshot of text describing the "Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education." It says the compact asks universities to adopt the government’s definition of gender for bathrooms, locker rooms, and women’s sports teams. It also asks colleges to stop considering race, gender, and other demographics in admissions and to require undergraduates to take the SAT or ACT.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Government shutdown, farmers needing to be bailed out, troops in the streets, country bitterly divided, revolving door of appointees, Putin getting coddled, constant chaos … must be another Trump term.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: β€œWe are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

More innocent people are dead. The young white male shooter is dead. But still no conversation about the radicalization of young white men. Still no conversation about the need for gun safety legislation. Nope. That’d be politicizing the tragedy of course. No let’s just pretend this is all normal.

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended.

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happeningβ€”less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

Not a big fan of Jimmy Kimmel, but if you think his show should be canceled for this, you’re a hack and a total fraud who should never pretend to care about free speech

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremistsΒ 

But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.
