Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

Police said a suspect was in custody after the shooting near the Capital Jewish Museum

The claim that the destruction of essential civilizational institutions is being done in the name of the Jews is itself a form of antisemitism—cultural vandalism carried out in our name. That, my friends, is rank bullshit.

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Congressman @beyer.house.gov will be going to USAID today with colleagues to shine a light on what is happening there, I think others will join us. Figuring out details now and will share but flagging now for press and public in the area

This sucks for responsible dog owners too! My dog got into it with an off-leash dog (both were fine), and *I* got yelled and cursed at for not getting out of his way.

just like i spent the last 4 years yelling about the need for urgency and severity in dealing with trump/j6 and scotus, i will probably spend a good portion of the next 4 years yelling that the dem party needs to embrace an anti-corruption and pro-reform identity first and foremost

I won't pretend to be an expert on how we should talk about Trump II but I do think relentlessly hammering the fact that the far right is insanely corrupt and self-dealing is a decent strategy.

not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

the other thing is that if VA dems can retain the senate and/or take the house of delegates they will have effectively killed glenn youngkin’s presidential ambitions which is a nice little treat
