The assassination of the innocent is an accepted side effect of gun ownership. Hand wringing and prayer vigils have yet to dent the growing deaths. The policy is to move on.
Another horrific school shooting. Same hand-wringing, same long faces & solemn tones. Same empty words. Same rituals. Same frustrating helplessness in the face of a society in love with guns.
Kid Rock being “news” is all you need to know about where we are and what appeals to the Republican base.
Kid Rock on Fox & Friends: "It appears that El-Sayed is assimilated ... and I would like to make the point that there have been other people who have assimilated to this country. The Fort Hood shooter. Those extremists that became pilots and crashed into our World Trade Center."

This is an international crime against humanity. The only reason this is happening is because Trump wants to make the entire island a resort.
Remarkable for criminal theft. This means that much more suffering by Cubans. Less power for homes, for hospitals, for already-depleted grocery stores, for universities, for people who need to operate home medical equipment.. Abhorrent, IMO.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to imply that Schmitt committed perjury with his knowingly false attack on Jack Smith.
🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:
In other words, useless yet damaging.
As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.

This is my fear as well. Every single day, I expect some new horror. When I hear “Breaking News” there is only one thing I’m hoping to hear. Sadly, I’ve been disappointed.
“With the possible exception of the cyclospora outbreak, I fear people haven’t really seen the consequences of the worst things that can result from a government run by and for the trolls.” @ninajankowicz.com in @atrupar.com’s PN open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...
I’m so grateful that we still have responsible professionals filling in for the current administration’s failures.
Professional organizations representing pediatricians, family physicians, obstetricians, and other medical professionals jointly released guidelines Wednesday for who should get vaccines aimed at staving off influenza, Covid-19, and RSV this coming winter. www.statnews.com/2026/09/02/v...
Canada is recruiting some of the best and brightest scientists, engineers and researchers from top universities in the U.S. You don’t have to ask yourself why or if these people recruited will relocate to Canada because the answer is a resounding yes.

Every single facet of our society has been negatively affected by this administration. These policies are not missteps, rather they are intended to create a despondent population.
345 million Americans trusted a few hundred leaders and supposed experts while those "leaders" put them at risk of foreign attack, isolation, poverty, natural disaster, disease, incarceration, medical bankruptcy or even death, in favor of protecting their own parochial interests. Have they no shame?
