This is the first mug shot to be taken of a U.S. president — and it's a first for Donald Trump as well, despite his being arraigned three other times this year. https://t.co/QKz706KdgL

Every bigot, @ElieNYC argues, can now claim that their business is a “speech act” that cannot be subjected to normal anti-discrimination laws. Who will stop the carpenter who claims that woodworking is a speech act and only white people deserve doors? https://t.co/hf3f2g3Y0Y

Well deserved! 💯🥳💪

Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined.

Think about that.

Congress, the time to pass stronger gun safety reforms is now.

Legendary Platt High School baseball player, coach and Athletic Director, Rich Katz, will be retiring at the end of this school year. So Thursday, Platt’s baseball diamond was named in his honor with a couple of hundred in attendance for the dedication ceremony! @MeridenK12

BREAKING: A mass shooting has taken place at the Allen Premium Outlets mall in Allen, Texas.

Details below:

- Multiple victims, which include children.

- The Shooter has been confirmed to be dead.

- The Allen Police Department, has put out the following statement: “Law enforcement is on the scene at Allen Premium Outlets. An active investigation is underway. Please avoid the area until further update”

It's just so infuriating to watch this happen time and time again. Many of these incidents happen in Texas, which is one of the most pro-gun states in the union.

What can be done?

What should be done?

Is there a compromise in which we all can agree that we need to do something other than pray?

Watch Lauren Boebert completely make a fool of herself yesterday while interrogating the OMB Director. She attacks the Biden administration for 25% of workers 'not logging in under the guise of the agency's telework policies.' Problem is the data was from 2020 when Trump was President.

This is becoming a repetitive theme. Republicans are blaming Biden for things that happened under Trump. We've seen this with COVID shutdowns, The Afghanistan pull-out, the US National Debt, and now this. The GOP doesn't have any real attacks against Biden so they attack him for the screw-ups that Trump made.

While unveiling his 2024 budget proposal, Pres. Biden says he’s ready to meet with Speaker Kevin McCarthy “at any time.”

“Tomorrow, if he has his budget. Lay it down. Tell me what you want to do. I’ll show you what I want to do. See what we can agree on.” https://t.co/giGx8QNIjp

BREAKING: Multiple Republican Senators have just come out to criticize Tucker Carlson for creating a false narrative around the US Capitol attacks on January 6.

Senator Thom Tillis said, “I think it’s bullshit. I was here. I was down there and I saw maybe a few tourists, a few people who got caught up in things. But when you see police barricades breached, when you see police officers assaulted, all of that — if you were just a tourist you should’ve probably lined up at the visitors’ center and came in on an orderly basis.”

Senator Kevin Cramer said, “I think that breaking through glass windows and doors to get into the United States Capitol against the borders of police is a crime. I think particularly when you come into the chambers, when you start opening the members' desks, when you stand up in their balcony — to somehow put that in the same category as, you know, permitted peaceful protest is just a lie. I think it doesn’t do any good for the narrative."

Thank god she was alert. I couldn’t imagine being that calm.
