Charlie Kirk's murder proves (again!) a simple truth:
The 1st Amendment and the 2nd are incompatible. You can't have freedom of assembly and speech if every public space & statement, right or left, is at risk of violent disruption. Guns kill freedom. Time to prioritize 1A over 2A, once and for all.

My hot take for the day:
I basically believe that the real, unspoken goal of the conservative movement is the fracture and ultimate destruction of the United States.
Bc democracy will never not be a threat to the entrenched wealth and power the movement was astroturfed into existence to protect.

Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he's causing families.
We'll continue to follow the law, stand up for the sovereignty of our state, and protect Illinoisans.

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority.
There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

I want to congratulate leading Democrats' for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a "stunt" or a "distraction."
It's a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.

When you say "we should be willing to compromise on the safety of trans people and their ability to participate in society," this is the mission you have aligned yourself with.

Trump Takes Aim Directly At Democratic Partyβs Infrastructure
Itβs been expected for some time that President Trump would eventually roll...
In ordering Bondi to investigate, he is innovating on, and getting more direct about, his campaign of targeting his enemies. And by targeting ActBlue, Trump is attacking the infrastructure of the Democratic Party and its ability to effectively compete in elections:

His assertion that Democrats passed the Civil Rights Act isa bit of a stretch. The then leadership in the party got it done, and as Johnson famously said "lost the south for two generations". And he underestimated that.
