What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator
Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag!
The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸

A new study shows that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and over $1 trillion every year.

The new research out of Yale shows that reductions in administrative overhead, lower pharmaceutical prices, less fraudulent billing, and fewer emergency care trips would lead to huge savings.

"Do not tell me we cannot afford Medicare for All," the senator said. "What we cannot afford is a broken healthcare system based on greed."

It looked good initially when all they did was send masked men to grab people off the street without warrants, detain them in crowded camps without due process, and shoot liberals dead in the street, but now MY gas is too high.
Trump voter: It's like you woke up Monday morning and oh, we're bombing Iran now. Freaking gas is pushing $5 a gallon.

There's not much to see at Hazleton North now - a slight raise in a Gloucestershire field 20mi NE of Stroud. But 5,700 years ago it looked like this. And DNA studies of bones from inside has made for a remarkable discovery - a five-generation Neolithic family tree. Thread: 1/

He negotiates on his social media platform, his press secretary makes demands from the podium, and somehow reporters are exposing the plan.
President Donald Trump has attacked “evil” reporters for exposing his Iran peace plan, which started to unravel shortly after it was announced.

The military assault on Venezuela, the shooting of a woman by an ICE agent, the launch of the White House’s new revisionist website about January 6—these three events convey a powerful and unsettling message from Trump and his crew:

Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want.
The Trump doctrine: Violence is us
The message is clear—be afraid.

George makes the best point.
The timing of this post and the reference to the murders being "due to the anger ... caused others through … TDS" suggests strongly that Trump believed that **one or more of his supporters** had committed the murders—and that they had committed the atrocity **justifiably**.
