Trump sued Capital One to prove they closed his accounts over politics. The bank’s answer, filed Friday: it was the anti-money-laundering desk. Months of review. Three hundred accounts. He pulled that thread himself.

It is with a heavy heart that one of the most legendary #Cubs fans has passed away. Jim Anixter aka “The Pink Hat Guy” died yesterday. A season ticket holder for 60 years, Jim was always seen in his trademark pink hat in the first row behind home plate. #RIP

The racist video posted by the President is perhaps the most egregiously racist thing shown in the White House since Woodrow Wilson screened Birth of a Nation there in 1915. Here's an article from Denver's Black newspaper in 1915 calling for Americans to denounce such racist imagery.

On 28th January 1971, David Bowie arrived in America for the first time…wearing this dress. He was detained by security for over an hour. These photos were taken in LA in February, by John Mendelsohn. During this trip he met Andy Warhol for the first time. #Bowieforever

Some people hate it when you interrupt their ill founded narrative...with critical thinking. That's exactly why we have to continue doing so. Propaganda hates meeting critical thinking.

Trump is unusually unpopular and has always been unusually unpopular, and most of his agenda - policy and anti-democracy - is unpopular. The people who do love him are mostly the most intense partisans, who are going to like any GOP president, and are no more special than any other group of voters.

We thought the social fabric was coming apart in 1968, too. You cannot think clearly or act wisely or strategically through the fog of a highly charged moment. Too often we have the experience and miss the meaning.

Rest in Peace, Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman. She was targeted and assassinated on June 14, 2025 between 2 am and 3:35 am CDT in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Vance Boelter was targeting 70+ Democrats at the time of the incident.
Melissa Hortman was assassinated by a Trump loving right wing extremist who killed her husband and her dog as well in the attack. This was targeted and pre-meditated political terrorism of which the assassin, Republican Vance Boelter, was trying to get about 70 more people at the time of his rampage.  2 others were injured.

This afternoon, in addition to Charlie Kirk, there was a school shooting. Bullets don't know and don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. It is time for Republicans and Democrats to find a way to work together to reduce gun violence. www.wcpo.com/us-news/crim...

The attack on Evergreen High School is horrifying. Educational violence has no place in this country and should never have been allowed to become the norm. I’m sending my sympathies to their family and friends at this time.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.
