“When I was president, I totally protected the guns.” —Donald Trump

That’s true. Too bad he didn’t work as hard to protect the children. Guns became the leading cause death for American kids under Trump.

Kamala Harris is right: When abusers come armed, it can be deadly.

Over 100 people killed, mostly women and children. At a school. Massacred. How is there no arms embargo on Israel? How do the people who express horror and revulsion when Putin and Assad do this sit silently by as Netanyahu does it? Don’t look away:

Why are you displacing Palestinians?

Why’d you bomb that safe zone?

Why should we believe you?

For all our rightful outrage over when police officers kill people, they are even more likely to brutalize people, particularly young Black men like this brother. Trump would attempt to give immunity to cops like this and their sucker punches.

This story is bonkers. Cops in this South Carolina town run an annual 5-day operation where they stop as many cars as possible. They find any reason to pull people over. And often if the driver has cash, police steal it.

In 2022, cops seized $968,611. That’s $194,000 per day. https://t.co/g9mPbuzNnG

Two assasinations in 12 hours. Killing the political head of Hamas presumably kills the ceasefire process. Killing him in Iran is provocation. Killing the Hezbollah commander in Beirut is provocation. The U.S. & Israel are plunging the region into a devastating war. At a loss for words to fully describe the horrors that are coming.

Trump’s “No Tax on Tips” idea is just another scam.

When you look at the fine print of Ted Cruz’s bill enacting it–it would give NO tax cut to someone making $28,000.
