Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Pam Bondi sends letter telling Minnesota officials if they turn over their voter rolls to Trump and his tech broligarchs they will remove ICE from Minnesota. It was never about immigration. It's about cheating in the midterms.

To all you eligible voters who didn’t bother to cast a ballot in the last presidential election - You’re just as responsible for the actions of these MAGA backed traitors. This is all on you as much as it is on them. Your silence, indifference, and laziness makes you complicit.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Congress is not in session. Highest priorities for Monday morning involve the Epstein files and health insurance premiums when they reconvene. So… Trump attacks Venezuela over the weekend. Makes sense. We have a criminal president.

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:
"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."
