I disagreed with #CharlieKirk on just about everything. I agree that he fed the fires of hate and violence. However, EVERYONE has the first amendment right to say what he believes. Violence is not acceptable anywhere, except in war. So far, this is not a war. Please don’t turn it into one.
Regardless of beliefs, the bottom line is a man lost his life. His family deserves respect, not speculation. Currently, we don’t know the facts about the shooter, the gun, how it was acquired, or why it happened. Filling that void with assumptions doesn’t honor the truth. It only deepens the harm.
HORRIBLE. SICKENING. UNACCEPTABLE.
In a democracy we settle our differences with words, ideas & actions, not hatred, guns & violence.

Gun violence is horrific. Full stop. I hope he’s ok.
A months-long investigation estimates that the profits from the Trump family's ventures in private clubs, hotels, golf courses, crypto currencies, NFTs, and other businesses has raised President Trump’s net worth by billions of dollars.
Absolutely sickening —
THANK YOU #POTUS for acknowledging Ukraine's Independence Day is what I would've written yesterday if he hadn't completely ignored it.

THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN U.S. GOVERNMENT

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.
And... they misspelled "AUSCHWITZ."
MAGA Republicans are so concerned with people in wheelchairs fighting for their healthcare, that they ZIP TIE them! #MedicaidSavesOurLives
TODAY 6/14/25, we peacefully make our voices heard... NO KINGS!* 🇺🇸
*Also NO: CONVICTED FELONS/PATHOLOGICAL LIARS/DRAFT DODGERS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS/SHORT-FINGERED VULGARIANS/MALIGNANT NARCISSISTS & ANYONE WHO INCITED AN INSURRECTION IN AN ATTEMPTED COUP AGAINST HIS OWN COUNTRY a/k/a TRAITORS ✊
Trump’s mental instability—routinely manifested in paranoid rhetoric and unhinged policy decisions—is a global economic and security threat.
Mainstream media is burying it in coverage of a former president who governed normally.
Their negligence will cost us.

MAGA-GOP always respond mass school shootings with "don't politicize a tragedy".
Now... No sympathy for the victims, no decrying rising antisemitism and hate crimes. Just straight to trying to twist a horrible situation to fit their political narrative.

When King Charles takes the throne in the Canadian parliament today — the first time a British monarch will open proceedings since 1977 — it will be a “big symbolic move to come to the defense of Canada,” Dasha Burns says on today’s #playbookpod.

CBS reporter Scott Pelley:
This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”.
If you haven’t already shared this, please do.
RFK says we shouldn’t take medical advice from him?
Thanks, Captain Obvious, but also why are you the Secretary of HEALTH and Human Services if we can’t trust you with medical advice?
When judges can be intimidated, law firms can be punished, and courts can be stripped of power, we all lose protection against government abuse. We must defend the judiciary from Trump’s attacks before it's too late.
Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?
Honestly? The $400M plane from Qatar is quaint compared to his crypto scam, memecoin con, insider trading, and tariff shakedowns.
It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
Newark Mayor Baraka was arrested by ICE today. Mayor Baraka was standing up for his community and demanding answers about a billion-dollar detention facility deal. He should be commended for his courage and leadership.
Key GOP senator won't support Trump loyalist Ed Martin to be D.C.'s top prosecutor

…many of whom assaulted Capitol and DC police, and urged jailing individuals involved in prosecuting Jan. 6 insurrectionists.
In 2021, Martin appeared on a podcast hosted by a white nationalist and compared former President Biden to Adolf Hitler.
Violent attack on the U.S. Capitol — January 6, 2021
…he was a member of the mob of insurrectionists.
Sen. Tillis on Martin: “I have no tolerance for anybody that entered the building on Jan. 6.”
Martin is a former “Stop the Steal” organizer who has previously blamed the Capitol attack on “antifa,” called for “reparations” for “rioters” —…
GOP Sen. Thom Tillis says he has informed the White House he will oppose Ed Martin’s nomination to be the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, a likely fatal blow to his already improbable chances of confirmation.
Not only has Ed Martin been a staunch advocate for January 6 attackers,…
It will irritate me to my dying days when I think about how Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts delayed Trump’s immunity case for 9 months
When he’s now ordering parties to file briefs on Trump administration emergency applications within 10 days
Secretary Marco Rubio 4® @SecRubio•1d Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the opposition. That's not democracy—it's tyranny in disguise.

WTG, little Marco. You insulted Germany for defending democracy—because you're mad they’re cracking down on *actual* Nazis.
Congrats on alienating another ally and making America more fascist.
The German Foreign Ministry had to remind you: this is what learning from history looks like.
