Kelly: "My family has suffered from political violence. My wife, Gabby, was nearly assassinated, shot in the head at a political event. Even the president -- 2 assassination attempts -- he should understand his words have significant weight and people react to things that he says."

From a spokesperson for U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin:

ABC “News” Is Fake News ABC “News” is not journalism — it’s a Democrat spin operation masquerading as a broadcast network. The network’s longstanding commitment to hoaxes,

This is what it looks like when a presidency tries to tear down the free press: www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

An AI deepfake was submitted as evidence in a California court.

This appears to be one of the first instances - but likely won't be the last.

Think about the repercussions: people could be wrongly convicted.

We MUST regulate this technology before it destroys lives.

And remember that Trump pardoned and commuted the sentences of Jan. 6th extremists convicted of seditious conspiracy.

For Trump, attacking the U.S. Capitol on his behalf isn’t sedition, but encouraging fidelity to the U.S. Constitution is.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN CONGRESS should be pressed about Trump calling for their colleagues to be killed

POTUS has apparently been using social media today to call for these six Members of Congress to be jailed, prosecuted, and executed for informing soldiers and intel officers that they can refuse illegal orders.

Woman pleads guilty to falsely claiming astronaut ex committed crime in space Summer Worden pleaded guilty to lying to law enforcement after alleging her ex-wife, astronaut Anne McClain, illegally accessed her bank account.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

Just going to be an incredible decision if SCOTUS says they needed to make an emergency intervention because of the risk that poor people might get food they are legally entitled to

Trump Wines Sold At Coast Guard Stores On Federal Property Exchanges in Washington, D.C., and Virginia have stocked Trump-branded wine and cider, allowing his family’s business to earn revenue from sales on federal property.

Pointing guns, pulling out pepper spray, throwing tear gas, shooting pepper balls and using other less lethal munitions do not appear to be appropriate. The government’s use of force shocks the conscience. The public has an interest in its citizens' bodily integrity, the right to peaceful protest, the right to assemble, the right of peaceful free exercise of religion. judge sara l. ellis us district court, northern district of Illinois

Judge Ellis’s ruling is a necessary response to the Trump admin’s repeated violations of her previous temporary restraining order. To be clear: the admin's tactics in the Chicago area are from the authoritarian playbook—a deliberate, nationwide campaign to suppress dissent and neutralize opposition.

Judge Finds ICE’s Retaliatory Use of Force in Illinois Violated Civil Rights Affirms peaceful protest and journalism require utmost constitutional protection

VICTORY: Judge Ellis granted the most powerful rebuke of the Trump admin’s immigration enforcement tactics yet — a preliminary injunction to more permanently stop the violent and lawless tactics federal agents have deployed against protestors, press, and clergy in the Chicago area.

Sad to see yet another lawmaker - Rep. Jared Golden in this instance - citing threats against their loved ones as an impediment to their continued public service.

Trump’s pardon is blatant corruption. I’m introducing legislation this week that calls for banning presidents, elected officials, and their families from trading crypto.
