Confused? Let me help make sense of this. The American right’s claims about any constitutional rights only apply to them. There. Now you perfectly understand their claims on gun rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion.

The media is only part of the problem.

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

Congratulations to my friend and our newest State Senator from Tarrant County, Taylor Rehmet! I met Taylor years ago through labor organizing. Don’t tell us what can’t be done in Texas. When we show up #TexasTough, we change the game. Today we proved what we’ve known all along: Texas is in play.

FOUR journalists were arrested. Proving again that this administration isn’t “pivoting” or “turning down the temperature.” By targeting independent journalists instead of the murderers of Pretti and Good, this is ramping up. Not winding down. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Trump: "We have a silent majority of people. They don’t go and riot."

Even in our polarized country, more and more people from left, right, and center are coalescing to demand change. It's happening because a freedom-loving nation does not allow masked, militarized government agents to violate our civil liberties.

The Melania movie seems like a parody. youtu.be/2J9cRSDS5g8?...

NRA UPDATE: "Guns Don’t Kill People ... Except When People are Filming the Govt." #ABlueView 🧵1/3 The shift on the Right on guns & their unmitigated hypocrisy is mind-blowing, right? Pretti deserved to die and Rittenhouse deserved freedom & a podcast deal.

🗣️ @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “The idea we’re just going to move past this… since Trump ‘took down the temperature’ an ICE agent said ‘you raise your voice, I erase your voice’, they tried to go into the Ecuadorian embassy… 2300x since July a judge ruled ICE illegally detained someone.”

His actions have led to higher prices for groceries, housing, utility bills, and more. Of course the president will do anything to avoid talking about his economic failures.

#GVerse Yesterday in Chicago, federal agents violently forced a U.S. citizen to the ground and zip-tied her hands after alleging a “threat” witnesses say never happened. This is the violence the #Dems are refusing to fund. Hold the line. No blank checks for abuse. #ICEoffOurStreets

Lady Gaga has put out a gorgeous anthem for Minneapolis. youtu.be/e3o5FIXoK84?...

Frey: "In Mpls, we heard them say they'll end this siege when we hand over voter rolls. The DOJ is being used as a weapon. They're investigating me and several other local elected officials not because we've done something wrong because we speak on behalf of our constituents.

I think not enough white people are taking the voting rights issues seriously enough. They are killing people and then offering to stop killing if the state gives up the voter registration data. This should be setting off massive alarms for EVERYONE. (I’m looking at you, white people.)

“You can’t have guns,” he says.. after they murdered a nurse in the street. They never say that after school shootings.

He lasted for just about a single Scaramucci, and it's good to see that unit of time have some relevance once more wapo.st/4t1U4IJ

The difference between the president and I is that I was raised to be a decent human being, and my faith teaches me to have compassion. He lacks both of those things.

If Trump and Republicans cared about solving the affordability crisis, they could do something about it today. They control the House, Senate and White House. They have the power to lower costs. They choose not to.

Yes, it’s astonishing that Kristi Noem still has her job after the deaths, lies, and failures on her watch. But the American people have the final say when it comes to holding this entire administration - from the president on down - accountable for its cruelty and corruption.

Thank You, Mr. President.

MS NOW: Should there be accountability for Stephen Miller? WALZ: There better be

Two officers fired at Alex Pretti. He wasn’t threatening them. He wasn’t brandishing a gun. He was defending a woman who was thrown to the ground and pepper-sprayed by DHS. JUSTICE FOR ALEX.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

Sorry what?

GOP in 1992: "Clinton will take your guns!" CLINTON: "No, I won't." GOP in 2008: "Obama will take your guns!" OBAMA: "No, I won't." GOP in 2020: "Biden will take your guns!" BIDEN: "No, I won't." GOP in 2024: "Harris will take away your guns!" DONALD TRUMP: "You can't have guns."

After 20+ years of saying Democrats were coming for your guns it’s going to be Trump who is coming for your guns and to get rid of the second amendment. This is what a wannabe dictator does. He can’t have the people he controls have guns. They could fight back if they do. Wake up MAGA.

School shooting, multiple children slaughtered: Thoughts and prayers. Federal Agent murders civilian: YOU CAN'T HAVE GUNS.

Thank you, Mr. President.

On the live blog this morning...

We need all Dems to loudly denounce this insanity.

“To you this is murder?” “Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.” She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward. Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Republican ex-congressman Trey Gowdy: “Kyle Rittenhouse was made a hero on the right… Alex Pretti’s gun was lawfully being carried. He never brandished it. And we certainly should not be labeling him a domestic terrorist who was going to execute cops.”

When Trump said, ‘I could shoot somebody on 5th Avenue and they’d still vote for me,’ basically what he meant was that no matter what he did, his cult followers would still worship him. So, are the murders of everyday American Citizens by his ICE agents finally calling that certitude into question?

Constitutional rights aren’t conditional. They aren’t selective. They apply to everyone. That’s why I introduced a resolution condemning unconstitutional use of deadly force by federal immigration officers and affirming the rights guaranteed to everyone in our Commonwealth.

Fetterman: "This vote will not defund or change ICE in any way. They have $178 billion available for their funding and that was made possible after the big beautiful bill, which I did not vote for ... I stand with our military and to push them to not getting paid again ... "

"If federal officers can kill civilians, and federal authorities can then refuse state cooperation, defy subpoenas, and invoke federal supremacy to block investigation altogether, the problem is no longer one of immunity doctrine."

We finally got gun-control.

Colbert made me weep last night with this video. MN coming together reasserting their confidence that they made the right decision in the last election voting AGAINST what is actually happening to them now BECAUSE they voted against it! www.instagram.com/reel/DT6U_vu...

It’s long past time for Secretary Noem to go. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

TAPPER: They're asking for voter roll information after the death of Alex Pretti. What was it like to see that letter? SIMON: It was really deeply disturbing. Literally hours after the second killing of a citizen in Minneapolis by ICE agents, there's this ransom note
