There is no place for political violence in our country. I’m grateful that Amy Acton is safe and thankful for the law enforcement officers who acted swiftly today. Attacks like this cannot just be the price you pay for running for office. This must never become normal.

We have to make sure 2026 is a blue tsunami. Fortunately the primary turnout in most states looks like we are doing this. But in order to get it to happen we need historic turnout. We need as many shares on this post as we can get to make this a real blue wave.

4. In one example that received significant news coverage, on September 6, 2025,
Trump posted on social media an image of the Chicago skyline in flames, stating “Chicago about
to find out why it’s called the Department of WAR,” including a depiction of himself in the image
of the fictitious warmonger character Lt. Col. Kilgore from the 1979 film Apocalypse Now, titling
the post “Chipocalypse Now.”
