About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner .. Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN: “This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

May I cautiously suggest that if large swathes of people are assuming last nights attempt was faked that’s less the fault of ‘conspiracy theorists’ and more a reflection of the fact that nothing relating to the White House right now can be taken at face value?

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

As a Christian, I don't think federal agencies should be referring to "Christ, our Savior" in any context. I don't need my government to validate my faith. That's why it's called faith. More importantly, my government shouldn't be invalidating the religions of other Americans.

If you really want Trump to be held accountable then you MUST vote in the midterm election regardless of what you think about the candidates. Voting Democrat holds the ONLY possibility of ridding your country of the malignant cancer occupying the White House now.

Why did the American audience apparently hear different audio of JD Vance's appearance at the Olympics than the audio heard by the rest of the world? NBC denies muting. But it's part of overall disturbing developments in the US corporate media world.

The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US | Bryan Armen Graham
The real risk for American broadcasters is not that dissent will be visible. It is that audiences will start assuming anything they do not show is being hidden

Pretty much everyone on IG who has been carefully quiet about politics is speaking out. It’s. Weird. I’m not on there all that much, but I think people have finally been given social permission to say the uncomfortable thing. I think they realize not speaking up will be read as acceptance.
