Some say arming lunatics & the resulting murders they commit is simply the price we must pay to protect the freedom of armed lunatics to commit murders.

Let’s remember all the victims of senseless gun violence.

In Memory of
MELISSA HORTMAN
Former Minnesota House Speaker
1970 - 2025
Taken far too soon in a targeted attack.
A voice for justice, clean energy, and equality.
We honor her legacy, leadership, and courage.

It's a no-brainer that her appointment is invalid. So the question becomes, is the indictment (on she was the only lawyer signatory) invalid as a result—and, if so, is it too late for the Trump DOJ to remedy that problem, given that the statute of limitations ran on Sept. 30.

He's a sadist, a narcissist, a psychopath-sociopath (ASPD), a Machiavellian, a killer of innocent Venezuelans, a friend of Jeffrey Epstein, an adjudicated rapist, an authoritarian, a serial adulterer, an insurrectionist, a decades-long cocaine and Adderall abuser, and a protector of pedophiles.

Reposting this for those who may not understand what Democrats are trying to push back against when it comes to Republicans shutting down the government and why Dems are fighting for Americans.

R’s are blaming D’s while they cut ACA tax credits and gut more federal agencies—has always been the plan

It's not just $930 billion being cut from Medicaid that will harm people
