I have posted this before but .. 26 years ago, a gunman entered Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, killing 16 kids and a teacher. The UK govt responded by enacting tight gun control legislation. In the 9400+ days since, there have been a total of O school shootings in the UK.

Sen. @Eric_Schmitt said it was disrespectful for @SecretaryPete not to be at this @SenateCommerce hearing on the East Palestine derailment and it shows the administration is out of touch with “flyover country.” The committee confirmed Buttigieg wasn’t invited to this hearing.

Oh and also they cut the hell out of the Governor’s reccomendation for childcare and Pre K. But they are doing another corporate tax break. (They haven’t figured out that businesses not excited about coming to a state where children can legally carry assault weapons).

DeSantis accuses Manhattan DA of “virtue signaling his base” as he virtue signals his base. No Ron, Bragg is trying to enforce the laws around running for President. You should want that as a potential candidate. Or are our election laws a joke to you?

I was honored to spend some time with Pat Schroeder when I was a young elected official. She was a giant. All of us are doing our best to keep up. RIP and my best to her family and many friends.

Similarly, there exist 45 minutes of footage showing O.J. calmly driving his Bronco down the L.A. freeway, below the speed limit, shortly after the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson, thereby exonerating him once & for all.

Republicans need to shut down Congress until the Q-anon Shaman is released without charges or pardoned by Biden. We've seen enough. A line has been crossed. Close the government.

Capitol Police Chief in internal department memo: Tucker Carlson “conveniently cherry-picked from the calmer moments of our 41,000 hours of video” to present “offensive” and “misleading” conclusions about the January 6th attack.

A few weeks ago we had a medical scare. My grandson had a brain tumor. We are grateful to all the doctors and nurses. He is doing great and will make a full recovery. You know what we didn’t do? Call Joe Rogan or Aaron Rogers.
