Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994; mass shootings dropped by 43%.
George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004; mass shootings increased by 245%.
These numbers tell the whole story.
THREAD: PLATFORM MANIPULATION TO SILENCE DAMAGE DEMOCRACY: This is fascinating. As you may know, I noticed bots mass-following me and then mass-unfollowing me the next day. I’ve found this is happening to left-leaning accounts and not to right-wing accounts. 1/
A little story for a wet Friday night. Near my house I found a wallet in the road. When opening it I found a bank card, some cash, a library and a youth club card. And also a front door key. The person who dropped it is 14 and could be locked out so I set out to find him….1/6
When Israelis say that they are fighting "human animals" in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, this is what they mean.
They are referring to what this reporter for @i24NEWS_EN talks about.
- Families gunned down in their beds.
- Babies who have their heads cut off in front of parents.
- Innocent civilians purposefully kidnapped or murdered.
There is a major difference between what Israel is doing and what Hamas has done. It should be as clear as day.
🚨 I spoke with my defense attorney friend. I wanted to understand what the indictments means and what prosecutors could have against Donald Trump. He has read what was available to the public. Here is what he says should stick out to everyone.
- They have evidence Trump controlled and directed a criminal enterprise.
- They got multiple people to turn over evidence.
- They have recordings, text messages and emails proving these crimes.
- They have testimony from sources that could provide evidence.
- They have intentions from those indicted that they knew what they did or are doing is a crime.
- This high of a profile case their evidence is air tight.
- They have sworn testimony from those indicted who participated in the criminal enterprise.
- They have evidence that those involved knew privately their claims of election interference are false.
My friend made it clear as a defense attorney the Indictments out of Georgia would be more concerning than Manhattan and perhaps DC if he was Trump's defense.
Republicans voted 3 times. Unanimously. To raise the debt ceiling under Trump without question.
It’s called “paying the bills for what you’ve already spent.”
Should they apply a different standard to our nation’s good faith and credit now that a Democrat is President?
BREAKING: The lawyer for the former leader of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, has just told jurors during his closing arguments in Tarrio's seditious conspiracy trial that former President Donald Trump was the one responsible for what took place on January 6th:
"It was Donald Trump’s words. It was his motivation. It was his anger that caused what occurred on January 6th in your amazing and beautiful city,” said Nayib Hassan, Tarrio’s lawyer.
Will this impact Special Counsel Jack Smith investigation into the former President? Thoughts?
Business Insider is reporting that Jared Kushner created a shell company that "secretly paid" Trump's family members & spent half of the campaign's $1.26 billion! A cool $617 million in cash meant for Trump's reelection campaign essentially disappeared without any public view.
My family is not safe. My son has been taken on the gov's orders, and I've had to send my husband and daughter out of state for their safety.
THIS is the reality of living in DeSantis' Florida.
There is no freedom here. Only retaliatory rule by a fascist who wishes to be king
This an image you haven't seen today because mainstream media has been covering Donald Trump's motorcade & plane all day long. These are Nashville students walking out today, sick and tired of the NRA and Republican inaction. The youth WILL save us, once again.
I just blocked a woman I’ve known for several years, talked with on the phone and on Zoom calls, because she starts talking about “Garland isn’t doing anything and no one is ever going to be held accountable,” and will go on tweet after tweet arguing.
Another person chimed
BREAKING: The SEC has just charged the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its Investment Management Company for failing to disclose $32 BILLION in assets & creating thirteen shell companies to hide those assets.
Thank you SEC for holding these people accountable!
