@SpeakerJohnson EMTALA : is a federal law requiring Medicare-participating hospitals to provide a medical screening to anyone who comes to the emergency department for treatment, regardless of their insurance or immigration status. It doesn’t give healthcare coverage. Stop lying.

“The United States is now a nation run by public servants who behave no better than internet trolls,” @RadioFreeTom argues. “Who’s responsible for these choices? Your mother, apparently”: https://t.co/RKKknNndzz

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

My latest column broke a little news. There are far more Jan. 6 pardon recipients back in trouble with the law than we knew. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics had reported 10 as of June. A more accurate number is ...

FBI Director Kash Patel’s “challenge coin” leans on comic-book references and gun imagery. It’s more apt for “a grown man who spent too much time on the internet as an adolescent” than for the head of a law-enforcement agency, @RadioFreeTom argues. https://t.co/zxfc6nGWQN

Another great article in the Atlantic. A must read

The generals and admirals at Quantico today should be forgiven if they walked out of the auditorium and wondered: What on earth is wrong with the commander in chief?

While we're all distracted by the domestic sideshow, Trump is sending the military out to kill people he says are "terrorists", in violation of US and international law. No wonder people at the Pentagon are checking in with their lawyers.

@SacBookReviewer @SykesCharlie Political violence is not the answer.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

Political violence is evil. I don't care how angry you are at your opponents. We have a ballot box. We have courts. We have free speech. I'm sick with grief for Charlie and his family. I'm sick with concern for this country.

[Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie]

The online ghouls who are celebrating and/or justifying the shooting of Charlie Kirk have no idea how much damage they are doing…

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

That last line is the key

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In the last few years we've seen:

- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk

Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.

The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

@SecKennedy We are waiting for your resignation.
