I made this into a proper response to the absolutely misplaced calls to "turn down the heat": newrepublic.com/article/1838...

My first thought this morning after I remembered the news was how many people over the last few years have put their bodies between armed far right guys and kids going to the library or a bookstore

Where Were Calls for De-Escalation When Libraries Were Being Targeted?newrepublic.com Trump’s fans seem determined to blame this shooting on their victims.

If JD Vance had his way, there is a very reasonable chance I wouldn't have been alive to turn 11.

I know we know about JD Vance, but he's also working to make divorces harder to obtain, and says that people in "violent" marriages should stay married and not get divorced. So.

Remember, if the government can obtain a conviction against Bob Menendez for taking bribes and stuffing gold bars into his closet that he was given for working on behalf of a foreign government, there's nothing stopping them from indicting you for the same thing.

Will the media point out on “Make America Wealthy” night that we have the world's strongest economy, that employment and wages are going up, that the markets are soaring, and that inflation’s coming down? (Don’t bother; I know the answer already. 🙄)

Aileen Cannon Unwound the Stolen Documents Prosecution Back to November 2022 www.emptywheel.net/2024/07/15/a...

Aileen Cannon Unwound the Stolen Documents Prosecution Back to November 2022 - emptywheelwww.emptywheel.net While DOJ can charge aspects of the stolen documents case via US Attorney, they would have to recreate some of the investigative steps they have already taken.

Florida judge dismisses the documents case. Supremes effectively dismissed the insurrection case while finding presidents have immunity. Happy now, the-courts-don’t-matter progressive voters?

MAGA boards are lighting up with declarations of civil war, with a NY-based Proud Boys channel calling for feds, Democrats and reporters to be “hung in the streets.”

Boston Globe reporter on the scene said the Secret Service had him marked for half an hour before they shot. Unfathomable that they sent a single local cop 20 minutes later, and he had to run away. Guy’s in full view, a 30 second sprint away. web.archive.org/web/20240714...

I was at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania, this is what I saw - The Boston Globeweb.archive.org Globe reporter James Pindell was at the Butler, Pa., rally where Donald Trump was hurried offstage by security and shares what it was like.

Robert Putnam may know why we're lonely, but tellingly it's Putnam's wife who--like millions of other women--does the work of keeping Putnam from falling into loneliness himself. And we wonder why men are pushing marriage and trying to limit divorce. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/13/m...

Robert Putnam Knows Why You’re Lonelywww.nytimes.com The author of “Bowling Alone” warned us about social isolation and its effect on democracy a quarter century ago. Things have only gotten worse.
