KRUGMAN: “.. How did a great, sophisticated nation, one of the world’s longest-standing republics, end up so fragile that it can be undone by one man’s dementia?”

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THE LYING LIARS & NEWS STINKERS OF FOX "NEWS" SO WE DON'T HAVE TO! IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED BY THOSE OF US WHO VALUE HONESTY, INTEGRITY & DECENCY WHILE ALLOWING US TO CONSUME ACTUAL FACTS WITHOUT THEIR BRAINWASHING TECHNIQUES & ABILITY TO TRIGGER BOUTS OF VIOLENT NAUSEA. 🤮
I know there’s serious news, but this? Too good not to share.
Gavin Newsom’s office just posted a clip of EMPEROR PALPATINE reading Trump’s unhinged Truth Social rant about the L.A. protests.
It’s trolling at its finest.
The Force is strong with this one. 💀👑

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.
Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune.
It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.
It's truly obscene.
The amount of money this country has is enormous and again, obscene.
That schools are scratching for funding, health care cost is outrageous and devastating. That science is being defunded. Veterans can't get the care they need.
It's all shameful.
Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."
—FDR, 1937
The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.
Foghorn Leghorn, a.k.a. Sen. John Kennedy R-LA, when asked about Musky’s federal personnel cuts: “When you trim fat, pigs squeal. That’s just how it is.”
And that is what Republicans think about hard working Americans.
If you wanna know why Dems lose all the damned time, right here you go. This kind of bullshit right here. We’ve got an aspiring dictator tearing our country apart and these idiots are still too concerned about decorum and standards. Get these assholes out of office.
Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercomex.com/repalgreen/s...
In just 45 days, nearly every government agency has been hacked and a cabinet hell-bent on ramping up Project 2025 has been installed. We are watching a coup in plain sight. What was democratic leadership's response?
Pink suits and signs. 🙄
Our leaders are failing us.
Decorum will be our DOOM.
Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.
