Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Congress appropriated $257 million to renovate the Kennedy Center before Trump shut it down. Follow that money and see where it goes.

🚨 Before Citizens United, there was another Supreme Court decision that opened the door to this.

That ruling opened the door. It armed billionaires and corporate power brokers with the constitutional cover they still use to shape elections.

Gonna rain on people's parades a bit, but I would caution against seeing this as solely a referendum on Trump when a lot of the backlash against Wambsganss seems to come from local Texas school board politics, particularly her endorsement of the now abandoned plan to split Keller ISD in two.
JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

Reminder, this is an example of the BBC's own words in 2019, before they took a landslide into transphobic rhetoric:

"Other common transphobic themes of online posts included misgendering people - purposefully labelling somebody as a gender that they do not identify as."

Transgender people treated ‘inhumanely’ online
A study identified one-and-a-half-million abusive comments posted over a three-and-a-half year period.

Steve Levitsky, the co-author of How Democracies Die, on the dangerous place we have reached as Trump escalates:

Watch the video as a recklessly driven cheap car careens around and a gang of armed thugs spring out to menace an innocent civilian, like a kidnapping or robbery or murder-for-hire.

It looks like organized crime taking place in a third-world country, because it is.

Magistrate Judge Catherine M. Salinas (N.D. Georgia) signed the federal warrant tied to the Fulton County 2020 ballot action. The warrant remains sealed, reports say it initially required correction, and no public timeline exists yet for when or if the affidavit will be unsealed. #PoliticalOverreach
