The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer. New York Times tomorrow

And like always, Trump goes all in with ugly partisanship, divisiveness & hate. Trump uses a political assassination to attack half the country. He quite literally is the divider in chief. Such a shame. He’s such a danger to this country. I so worry about where this is heading.

Trump issues a statement after Kirk’s death blaming the “rhetoric of the radical left.”

July 18: If we have a smart president, you're never going to let the dollar slide. If you have a dummy, that could happen. July 25: A weak dollar makes you a hell of a lot more money. It doesn't sound good, but you make a hell of a lot more money with a weaker dollar than with a strong dollar

Epstein victim Maria Farmer: “Ivana was [Ghislaine’s] best friend… She’d drive by schools… get [girls’] phone numbers… Everybody knew what they were doing.” To shut her up, “they gave me one of those cheap bracelets Ivana was selling on QVC.”

Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review. Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

Constituent: “Senator, are you going to vote for the reconciliation bill? It’s gonna cut Medicaid, a lot of people are going to die and it’s gonna be because you voted for it. Do you hear me?” Katie Britt: *smiles*

When they can pretend the violence came from the left, they insist all Democrats are responsible and ideology is to blame. When there's no denying the violence came from the right, though, they back off and pretend ideology had nothing to do with it. Certainly not anything *they* said.

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Exactly right. The assault on a senator was a crime but Noem’s “liberation” comments were actually even worse.

Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Sen. Chris Murphy calls back to Trump's pardons for Jan. 6 rioters. "The message [...is that if...] you carry out violence on behalf of the White House -- you're excused. You lodge normal, protected protest against this White House? You are thrown to the ground and handcuffed."

COONS: Treasury and State were rolling out new sanctions designations every few weeks much of last year. How many new Russian entitles have you designated under your sanctions authority since January? BESSENT: I will get back to you with that number COONS: The answer is zero

Plaskett to Bessent: "Excuse me. Let me get something straight with you. I've seen you interrupt everyone. When you come to someone's house, you respect their rules. And in this house, we don't interrupt individuals. And you're not going to interrupt my time."

Yes, Trump yesterday goaded U.S. troops into booing & jeering their fellow Americans. Not a surprise Trump did that. Trump is an utterly horrible human being. But what was surprising and what was so disappointing was that those troops DID boo. They DID boo & jeer their fellow Americans.👇

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
