Statement from Alex Pretti’s parents, Michael and Susan Pretti:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world.
Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting.
Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.”
This is frankly hilarious
Ex MAGA "spokesman" for France first says Trump's Norway letter is obviously FAKE NEWS for dumb journalists
And minutes later, when its authenticity is confirmed, finds the letter remarkable
Cultural revolution levels of sycophancy
Given the full context of this throw (playoff game, they 100% lose if this isn’t converted, they ended up winning, etc.), this has to be one of the very best plays in recent NFL history.
For how many weeks have Democrats been lectured to for inciting violence and the literal president of the United States posts himself as the Grim Reaper targeting prominent Democrats.
I believe you can all go fuck yourselves now.
ICE deploy tear gas on crowded public street—because they were upset being stuck in Chicago traffic.
A 2-year-old child required medical care after inhaling the chemical agents—adults were vomiting on the sidewalk.
Local elementary school was forced to lock down for recess due to the presence of agents.
People in nearby cars reported that the tear gas caused their ears, nose, and mouth to run—after chemicals seeped into vehicles despite windows rolled up.
The incident occurred close to Funston Elementary School in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. #DemsUnited
According to Utah officials + police interviews with his family, Tyler Robinson hated Charlie Kirk because Kirk wasn't conservative enough. (Robinson reportedly admired Nick Fuentes). GOPer's now scrubbing X posts about dems faster than DOJ erases Trump name in Epstein files.
Every single Democrat is condemning the attack on Charlie Kirk — as they should.
Some Republicans like Elon Musk are trying to incite more violence and blame the left.
Less than 3 months ago, a Trump supporter murdered Melissa Hortman and her husband.

The Republican Party has done a 180. Used to be “we want the federal government out of our lives”. Now? They are putting the federal government in our universities, corporate board rooms, libraries, museums, and local police departments, just to name a few.
Putin gets a red carpet with a warm welcome and Zelenskyy gets berated in the Oval Office by Trump and his goons.
That’s all you need to know about the state of America right now. Any true patriot is disgusted.
Texas is blaming the NWS for the weather changing from the original forecast. The 3 satellites that DoD stopped allowing NOAA to access data from on June 30, were specifically designed to monitor rapid intensification like what occurred. If you want to point fingers, start there.
Congrats to @lisamurkowski on voting for a bill that you yourself admitted was not ready in hopes that the House would change it. Now it’ll become law. You had the power to stop it, and instead chose to become complicit. That’s your legacy.
