So much so that the president United States called Greg Abbott and told him, in essence, find 5 additional seats so he can rig the election next year."

MAGA fascist Vance Boelter assassinated former MN Democratic Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and nearly murdered two more Democrats, and had plans to kill at least 60 more people, mostly Democrats, and mere days later this fascist puts out a call to unalive the former Vice President. smh

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Will Donald Trump be condemning and disowning this alleged assassin? Will MAGA and Fox be asked if they contributed to his ‘radicalization’? Will Dems insist Republicans tone down their rhetoric as the GOP did in reverse after the attempt on Trump’s life (by a Republican)?

I do hope the business community takes note of the fact that while Trump is wrecking their supply chain with tariffs, he thinks he’s free import a foreign jet for free. Buy American? Lolz He’s grounding Air Force One for his Qatari air palace. It’s all revolting autocratic corruption.

The gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One* Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.

No, #BrokenPost, you don't write this headline as a question, answering it below. You lead with the truth. This isn't hard. A rewrite: Vitamin A cannot treat measles but children are overdosing on RFK Jr's anti-vaccination lie.

Can vitamin A treat measles? RFK Jr. suggests so. Kids are overdosing.
Vitamin A supplements will not protect someone from measles, and it is not a substitute for a vaccine, infectious-disease experts said.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.
