Just, what? What are you doing, man?
.@mattgutmanABC says he found the messages between Charlie Kirk's killer and his trans boyfriend "very touching, in a way, that I think many of us didn’t expect."

PSA/short 🧵: If you celebrate, in any form, the cold-blooded murder of an unarmed innocent man who happens to see the world differently than you, about anything (not just politics), you're a terrible human being. Or, you're a sociopath. There's no third option. No "but."

MSNBC’s shameful output since Charlie Kirk was shot, first suggesting it was one of his own supporters firing a gun in ‘celebration’, then inferring he brought it on himself with his opinions, confirms everything I’ve always suspected about the woke left - they’re repulsive.

What happened to Charlie Kirk is one of the worst things that has happened in American politics. My heart goes out to his family. FUCK WHOEVER DID THIS! Not only is it deeply tragic by itself, but we are now all in danger. Violence is always wrong and it's intellectual surrender.

This is from a PR account with 23,000 followers. But not a word on MSNBC's main account, which has 5 million.
Statement from MSNBC president Rebecca Kutler: “During our breaking news coverage of the shooting of Charlie Kirk, Matthew Dowd made comments that were inappropriate, insensitive and unacceptable. We apologize for his statements, as has he. There is no place for violence in America, political or otherwise."

20 years ago Democrats killed Social Security personal accounts. This is what they would be worth now for a median-wage worker.

Dear politicians, please tone down the political rhetoric. Why must you demonize your fellow Americans who are on the other side of the isle? Why must you incite vitoral? Unifying us with thoughtful ideals, emotional intelligence, and statemenship. Concerned citizen.

New York City — A black woman pleads with leftist rioters to stop blocking traffic so that she can drive to work. The man laughs and mocks her. Video by @savsays:

We asked UCLA students one simple question: “I’m Gay + Arab - Where In the Middle East Can I Go?” Their answers did NOT disappoint. Do you know the answer? Video collab: @Facts_For_Peace

If I know one thing about Los Angeles it’s that the leaders don’t give a single shit about protecting the tax paying law abiding citizens who call that place home.
The deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles has been a chaotic escalation. The City will remain focused on protecting all who call L.A. home.

What is wrong with these people? What do Waymo’s have to do with ICE?
They are calling Waymo’s just to burn them… We don’t have to live like this.

“Don’t believe your lying eyes” doesn’t work like it used to. “Mostly peaceful” was sinister because a lot of people believed it five years ago. No one falls for it anymore. We’re a different people now.

Do this to an abortion clinic and people like Mary lock you away. Unequal, politicized justice.
🚨 BREAKING: Soros-backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says Dylan Bryan Adams will NOT be charged after allegedly causing $20,000 in damages vandalizing Teslas in Minneapolis. Absolutely infuriating.

They went on for YEARS about how the filibuster was a relic of our racist past and tool of minority rule and an assault on democracy. Shameless.

Not only did you sign up for this job, you spent a great deal of money to be elected. You can give the baby to a nanny or aide while you vote; this is one of the many trade-offs of being a working mom, but you made the choice. The women who clean the Capitol building don't get to work from home or bring their babies to work.
Rep. Brittany Pettersen holds her newborn baby while speaking in favor of a petition to allow remote voting for new parents. "It is unfathomable that in 2025, we have not modernized Congress." House GOP leaders are expected to block the move. abcnews.link/ToAxgHx
