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.

🚨 🚨BREAKING NEWS FROM @PunchbowlNews :

Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) resignation from Congress came two days before the House Ethics Committee was set to vote on releasing a “highly damaging” report outlining its investigation into the Republican, according to multiple sources familiar with the probe.

The committee planned to vote Friday on releasing the report. Ethics loses its jurisdiction over Gaetz when he leaves Congress.

The secretive panel has been investigating Gaetz on and off since 2021.

President-elect Donald Trump announced that he would nominate Gaetz to be attorney general Wednesday.

If Trump wins, Harris supporters must accept his victory peacefully and without rancor. And if Harris wins, Harris supporters must be understanding about Trump supporters’ violence and rioting.

Tim Walz is a sixty-year-old white guy from Nebraska who attended Chadron State College and had a moderate voting record while representing a rural Congressional district in southern Minnesota. Here's why he is a woke radical who is sure to alienate everyone but the far left.

Walz: Make no mistake, violent crime was up under Donald Trump…. That’s not even counting the crimes he committed

THESE GUYS ARE JUST WEIRD.

JD Vance and his Project 2025 weirdos want to control your bedroom. Will you let them?

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. https://t.co/Tn2TQu5Djo

Licensed gun dealers in America must run background checks on their customers.

But not every gun dealer who ought to be licensed is licensed.

Today, my Administration is clarifying when folks must get their license and run background checks, and ensuring that gun show and online sale loopholes no longer exist.

We're keeping guns out of the hands of abusers and felons.

A dark day: If they can indict Trump for taking classified documents to his house that he knew were classified and that he refused to give back and that he lied about giving back then they can indict ANYONE for doing that.

Jon Hamm's got a message for Missouri:

If you want to be told about "Manhood," Josh Hawley wrote a book about it. But if you want a Marine veteran fighting for you and everyday Missourians in the U.S. Senate, then join us: https://t.co/1QADgv2AAw
