True North News, in #Wisconsin, traces to a #conservative foundation based in California. Don’t be fooled by any of these underhanded attempts to feed conservative lies and propaganda to unwitting citizens.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

He knows it. They know it. They've always known it. Amongst themselves, they joke about it. They tell stories about it. They swap advice on how to deal with it. But most importantly, to everyone else, they lie about it.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Weird how when a Trump supporter, white supremacist, and reportedly, a former member of Turning Point USA shot up Florida State University (FSU) several months ago and killed two people - there wasn't the same national conversation about "political violence." www.mediaite.com/news/mass-sh...

People become part of these groups because they feel so insignificant and want to belong. But MAGA has become like Gang Land. Different gangs with different ideologies. It was always a matter of time before they started shooting each other.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

Ossoff on RFK Jr: "Absolutely he should resign. And he never should've been confirmed to begin with... in any normal Senate, he never would've gotten so much as a hearing. This is someone who throughout his public life has embraced just about every piece of quackery & pseudoscience he's come across"

Hill: Trump asserted in his Fox interview there were no countries in the world that allow mail-in voting. Well, Russia allows mail-in voting.
