Does nobody in the world remember that a Gabby Giffords, a sitting American member of congress, was shot in the head just over a decade ago? And that Steve Scalise was shot in 2017? I get that we're all scared but calling this unprecedented is just irresponsible and wrong.

I would like to investigate the medical reports of the other victims allegedly shot by this same weapon

Agreed I'd like to note that advocating violence, boosting conspiracy theories and misinforming the public is emanating from one end of our political spectrum, and it's not the multicultural side...
Political violence has no place in a democracy. Democracy is about resolving differences through ballots, not bullets. Let's recommit to civility, respect and dignity in politics and in society — online and offline. They are key to democracy, to peace, to security.

“The fact that the press — which spent 2016 obsessed with Hillary’s emails — is now singularly focused on the ‘risks’ posed by Biden is a symptom of a civil ailment that has left us at risk of being overcome by the disease that is Trump’s neo-fascism.”

Clarence Thomas took $267,000 from a health insurance executive, then issued rulings that made health insurance companies more money, while harming millions of Americans. This is a bribe. This isn’t complicated. Expand the Supreme Court.
