I can read when I’m offline. I did get a message saying some features were unavailable when reading offline, but I didn’t notice any issues.

Last year, Vance Boelter shot and killed a Democratic state rep and her husband. He was sentenced this week to consecutive life sentences. Maybe now’s a good time for some accountability for the Republicans who peddled disgusting conspiracy theories about the slayings? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

As Vance Boelter heads to prison, where’s the accountability for GOP conspiracy theorists?
It’s hard not to wonder about the lack of accountability for the Republican officials who peddled disgusting claims about the Minnesota slayings.

I have checked this out and it’s legit. Amy’s family could really use your help; male DNA found on Amy's clothing is waiting on forensic technology to catch up. Each test costs $7,000 and all funds go directly to the Amy Fund. #Dateline www.gofundme.com/f/justice-fo...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

A US citizen was shot and killed by ICE in Minneapolis today. There's no sugarcoating this; the President's security theater just cost someone their life.
