I don't know if this needs to be said or not but "elected official assassinated in their home" is simply not a thing that happens in this country. 1825, 1889, 1893, 1973. Those are all the ones I can find, ever, before today.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Wow — John Fetterman has missed a remarkable 30 votes this year, has cancelled town halls, and avoids engaging with voters. But he did make time to go on a first-class, five-star hotel, all-expenses paid $36,000 trip to Israel to barbecue & hang out with Israeli military and government officials.

People are saying this new plan is a concentration camp, but it's more like the Warsaw Ghetto. Like, literally, like the Nazi establishment of the Warsaw Ghetto. From the forced displacement to the rationing of food and supplies.
Holocaust Encyclopedia
Warsaw Ghetto 
In October 1940, German officials decreed the establishment of a ghetto in Warsaw. The decree required all Jewish residents of Warsaw to move into a designated area, which German authorities sealed off from the rest of the city in November 1940. The ghetto was enclosed by a wall that was over 10 feet high, topped with barbed wire, and closely guarded to prevent movement between the ghetto and the rest of Warsaw. The population of the ghetto, increased by Jews compelled to move in from nearby towns, was estimated to be over 400,000 Jews. German authorities forced ghetto residents to live in an area of 1.3 square miles, with an average of 7.2 persons per room.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

All 3 ran for office despite serious cancer diagnoses. If Dems had managed to hold a 1 or 2 seat majority, we'd be in the minority right now. And because we're 3 votes short, Mike Johnson will have a much easier time ripping healthcare away from millions of people who also have serious conditions.
