Killer former cop Kim Potter who was sentenced to 2 years in prison for the murder of Daunte Wright is to be freed next week after serving 16 months in jail.
A black man in Texas named Larry Pearson was sentenced to 70 years in prison for spitting on cops.
You see it?
JUST IN: A Washington pizza chain, &pizza, is taking on Clarence Thomas’ corruption in a unique way.
"Every pie on sale, Just like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas,” the chain wrote in an email.
The chain is no stranger to MAGA outrage. Two weeks prior to their Thomas-themed sale, &pizza's Instagram account posted a photo of Donald Trump captioned, "Today's weather forecast: Stormy."
“You are a bunch of pawns,” wrote one angry Trump supporter on their social media.
The promotion which ends Thursday, includes a discount on all pizzas to $10 down from the usual price of around $13.
I guess shade is best enjoyed with a slice of pizza.
This story is wild. Bartlesville, #Oklahoma pastor dressed in blackface to “honor” Ray Charles, insists he has lots of “racial friends.” Hollers a lot about people wearing drag. Dresses as an American Indian woman. Insists it’s not drag. https://t.co/aXSblRHV9P
BREAKING: The Texas Senate just passed a bill that would compel every single public school classroom in the state to display a copy of the Ten Commandments. Additionally, a bill was passed to set aside time during the day for prayer and reading the Bible.
You might be thinking "They can't do that."
You might be thinking "That's unconstitutional."
Well it is, but they did it, despite the fact that a Supreme Court verdict back in 1980, Stone v. Graham, determined that it violated the Establishment Clause of the Constitution when Kentucky tried the exact same thing.
Conservative Republicans have been steadily chipping away at the norms and laws that protect our nation's most vulnerable citizens, like how they did away with crucial segment from the Voting Rights Act, and how they just overturned Roe v Wade.
Laws like this will negatively impact upon students who do not share the same religious beliefs as the majority of students, and could even stigmatize them as lesser members of the student body.
Drop a 💙 if you agree religion must be kept out of our public schools.
BOOM! Hakeem Jeffries TEARS into “totally out of control” Marjorie Taylor Greene.
“She’s allowed to LIE. She’s allowed to DEBASE the institution,” he said.
“Treason,” Jeffries suggested, may have been committed by recent government leaker Jack Teixiera and yet, Marjorie Taylor Green “elevated” him, Jeffries declared.
Jeffries also SLAMMED Republicans for supporting her extremism.
“She’s totally out of control. But they don’t care,” he said. “The leadership apparently supports Marjorie Taylor Greene. The rank-and-file Republicans apparently support Marjorie Taylor Greene.”
Thank you Minority Leader Jeffries for standing up to Marjorie Taylor Green!
She MUST be held accountable and should be expelled!

Ron DeSantis' new oversight board has discovered yet another "11th hour agreement" that allows Walt Disney Company to set its own utility rates at its Orlando theme parks, the board's chairman says.
A Disney subsidiary, which provides utility services to the central Florida district that includes the Walt Disney World Resort, negotiated an agreement in February to extend its contract through 2032.
Beaten by a mouse — again. DeSantis is such a loser! 🤣
TROUBLE FOR KEVIN MCCARTHY
BREAKING: Kevin McCarthy draws the anger of Veterans after it’s revealed his plan will CUT Veteran benefits by a whopping 22%.
One Congressman, a former Navy Officer, Rep. Chris Deluzio, called the plan “bullshit.”
"Millions of Veterans are going to be screwed over by this plan. They won't get the care they've earned — It's a BS plan!" he said.
Cutting funding by 22 percent would mean 30 million fewer veteran outpatient visits, and 81,000 jobs lost across the Veterans Health Administration—leaving veterans unable to get appointments for care including wellness visits, cancer screenings, mental health services, and substance use disorder treatment.
Cuts to Veterans benefits, earned through blood & sweat and great sacrifices for our country, are outrageous and disgusting.
It’s a betrayal of the military and their families.
Republicans wrap themselves in the flag then push cuts to veterans.
Rep. Deluzio is right.
It’s bullshit.
#NoCutsToVeteransCare
All,
I want to publicly apologize for every year, month, day, hour, minute, & second I spent in Republican leadership.
At 64, I hope to have a couple decades + to try to make that up to those around me and beyond.
This is a Party of autocratic disregard. https://t.co/FryT8DjNSF
OUTRAGEOUS: Republicans in Montana just SHUT OFF THE MIC of a trans state representative who was desperately trying to speak out against an anti-trans bill.
The Missoula Democrats are outraged that the GOP is not only preventing her from speaking on the bill, but they're not letting her speak on ANY BILL in the House.
This is NOT democracy.
More details on this story as it develops, in the 🧵 below.
Whoops! If Kevin McCarthy’s economic proposal actually passed, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s district in Georgia would lose $2.5 billion of manufacturing investments, say analysts.
The Georgia project would be the largest investment in community solar in United States history.
How stupid can she be?
That’s not all.
Rep. Andy Biggs’ (AZ-05) district would would lose $5.5 billion in battery manufacturing.
Rep. Joe Wilson’s (SC-02) district would lose out on Scout Motors $2 Electrical Vehicle manufacturing.
Rep. Mark Green’s (TN-07) district would lose out on $3.2 billion of battery material processing.
Since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, there have been nearly 100 new clean energy business announcements across 29 states, totaling to over $90 billion being invested to create nearly 100,000 clean energy jobs.
According to Cap Action, McCarthy’s plans would end
any additional investments and jobs from the IRA funding, and potentially sabotage the jobs from these pledged investments. Without the tax credits, many of these companies would likely scale back their plans or abort them altogether.
Every voter in these districts should know about this.
HOLY SHIT: The former Fox News producer who is suing the network for harassment says the network has secret tapes of Rudy Giuliani admitting he had NO evidence to support his Dominion election fraud lies.
THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
Fox News MUST comply with Dominion’s discovery requests in their $1.6 billion dollar lawsuit. If they are indeed withholding evidence, the consequences could be severe.
Fox News even tried to squash Grossberg's allegations, alleging they violated attorney-client privilege, but later backed off.
Fox News is f*cked.
BREAKING: New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur F. Engoron has just ordered Trump’s accounting firm Whitley Penn to hand over crucial tax documents to AG Letitia James.
The a judge has reportedly grown exasperated at Trump’s delay tactics.
This decision is significant because Trump’s accounting firm has previously said it would not comply with any New York request for documents UNLESS the courts intervened.
We’ll they just did.
The order will now force the accounting firm to turn over records—and get a certified public accountant to answer investigators’ questions.
The documents are reportedly at the center of AG Letitia James' $250 million fraud lawsuit.
Today is another VERY bad day for Donald Trump!
Dear Ma & Pa MAGA,
No one is grooming your kids to be gay or transgender.
No one is indoctrinating them with “woke math” or “CRT”.
No one is forcing them to identify as furries and having them do their pee pees in litter boxes at school.
And no one is teaching them to hate their whiteness or that America is ‘inherently evil’.
These are lies you’re being told and they are lies you’re also telling.
But that’s all they are.
Lies.
So cut the shit.
BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says.
The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead.
The SAME gun that’s been
the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago.
The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert.
The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers.
This is what we need to scream everywhere:
If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians.
We have the answer. It’s the guns.
BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.
Sandy Hook was an AR-15
Parkland was an AR-15
Orlando was an AR-15
Uvalde was an AR-15
Buffalo was an AR-15
Boulder was an AR-15
Aurora, CO was an AR-15
Las Vegas was an AR-15
Colorado was an AR-15
Louisville was an AR-15
At this point, if you don’t think AR-15s should be banned, you are part of the problem.
