Just last month the FBI forced out its top agent in Salt Lake City, a Pakistani American woman whom a former FBI agent describes as a “legendary case agent who was involved in some of the most significant national security cases of the last two decades.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...

I have serious doubts as to whether, after all of its politically-motivated firings, the FBI has the capacity and expertise to actually investigate Kirk’s murder. The lawsuit filed today against Patel and the Bureau describes a complete clown show that leaves all of us less safe

@govpritzker.illinois.gov's take on Kirk is the correct one: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it." On point. So glad Democrats are saying this.

Live your life in a way such that when you’re shot and killed, people’s first reaction isn’t ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Kirk and his ilk work to keep this country armed, miserable, violent, racist, sexist, xenophobic, and bigoted. This is the country he wanted. And he got it.

Forgive me if I care way more about the school shooting that also took place today than I do about Charlie Kirk.

Apparently there is no limit to the number of people we’re willing to sacrifice for something written by people who didn’t believe women should vote, that black people were fully human, and who mostly operated muzzle loading rifles. It’s so fucking stupid here.

It’s far too early to understand what exactly happened, but there’s an argument that Charlie Kirk just fell victim to a world and a status quo he worked hard to create, sustain, and further.

How many times has Trump called into Fox and Friends over the years? Hundreds? It would be so easy for him to pick up the phone and call in now, just to prove he’s alive. The fact that he’s not going into his favorite safe spaces is a major flag #whereistrump

Hey @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com, now would be a good time for wall-to-wall stories about Trump’s health and inquiries into what his handlers are hiding from the public. You just flexed those muscles last year so let’s see them again now.

Maybe we need to deploy the National Guard to our schools. It’s clear the GOP will not do anything to actually address gun violence.

So, has Pritzker ensured that he has constitutional loyalists leading the national guard, who are prepared and willing to refuse an order to federalize? Like, every Dem Governor needs to purge their national guard leadership of anyone they aren't confident would refuse an order to federalize.

If the FAA director got fired over a business beef AND there was an air traffic controller hiring freeze despite huge shortages AND a chaotic blitz to hollow out federal bureaucracy, and then within a week the first American airliner crashes in 16 years, you would be insane not to talk about it all.

I’m sorry but how is it that the top contenders for the DNC Chair are white men? Where are the Black women? Why is the demographic that is the most reliably Democratic not represented in this race? abcnews.go.com/Politics/dem...

Democrats look to define dynamics of race for party chair
Leading candidates for the Democratic National Committee chair election said front-runner Ken Martin's claim that he has the support of 200 members is inflated.
