While one shooting got most of the attention today, there was another horrendous school shooting that we should also be condemning. More lives torn apart. What will it take for us all to come together on this issue? It affects us all. Our children. All of us.

There is no place for violence in our democracy — against anyone.

[Nick Krieger @nckrieger]

@USAttyEssayli @mrddmia But all those thugs who assaulted and battered police officers on January 6th— many using weapons— were really just martyrs, right? Ok. Ok. Yeah, gotcha. 😂😂

Every U.S. Senator should attend her next press briefing.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Every viewer of the tape heard Senator Padilla identify himself. He's the ranking Democrat on the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and Border Safety. We're supposed to believe that Homeland Security secretary Noem did not recognize him?

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens.

Not a surprise at all.

Trump’s DHS Secretary just called America’s 2nd largest city a “city of criminals.” Trump and his people are bad, divisive people. Fuck them.

[Laura Riggaro @LauraRiggaro]

OMG! South Africa’s president brought Trump a gift and it was a book?

No WONDER Trump got so pissed off!

He brought him a fkg book! 🤣

[Nick Krieger @nckrieger]

@WalshFreedom Imagine how scary it is being a child in Gaza or the West Bank. All murder, violence, intimidation, racism, and hate is WRONG— irrespective of the faith or national origin of the perpetrators or the victims. Can’t we just stop all the killing?? Is it really that hard?

[Maine @TheMaineWonk]

Here’s South African billionaire and the country’s richest man, Johann Peter Rupert, telling Donald Trump that there is no white genocide in South Africa- to his face in the Oval Office.

Enjoy.

Dear MAGA,

It must be miserable to genuinely think scientists, historians, and journalists spent their entire lives lying to you, but a reality TV celebrity with decades of documented fraud is your sole source of truth.

"They're killing white farmers" is the new "they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs".

The sad truth is that the Netanyahu government has made Jews less safe in Israel, the United States, and everywhere else. It is an utter betrayal of the traditional role of Israel and the Jewish people more widely.

[Nick Krieger @nckrieger]

WHAT??? Watch this— the Secretary of Homeland Security has no idea what habeas corpus is. This is sickening. Every student in the American Government 101 class I taught at the local community college knew more than Kristi Noem.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Can’t be legal. Can’t be constitutional. Is certainly wrong. And cruel. And utterly un-American.👇

[Nick Krieger @nckrieger]

@CraigDMauger Good. She has my support. @BarbByrum, let us know what we can do to help.
