Lawrence O’Donnell correctly states “first, they lie” when it comes to police and deadly force, going back to an article O’Donnell wrote for the NYT in ’79...if our ruling cabal of criminals were looking for something to push the Epstein files out of the media – well, they sure found it...important background information from O’Donnell on what the SCOTUS has ruled that law enforcement can and cannot do, specifically in a case in the ‘80s saying that the cops don’t have carte blanche to shoot at vehicles whenever they feel like it...and the FBI has said that they won’t cooperate with Minnesota state law enforcement on the investigation into Renee Nicole Good’s murder; can you say whitewash, boys and girls?...and there were numerous prayer vigils for Good last night, including one in Hartford, CT that brought us another disgusting episode of our government run amok (here)...
Update 1: This makes it even clearer that Good was not posing a threat to those ICE Neanderthals (for Bluesky folks).
Update 3: As Chris Hayes on Bluesky says, please read this.
Update 4: This is one way to respond (from Minneapolis)...
Thousands of people gathered in Minneapolis after ICE Nazi Jonathan David Ross's MURDER of mother of three, Renee Nicole Good. 🙌🙏💪👏✊️👇 pic.twitter.com/HhWtnD650x

...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ reminds us about the Tangerine Toddler blowing up manufacturing, which shrank to the lowest level since about a year ago...and when corporate media flunkies on CNBC can’t even spin this as good news for Repugs, then you KNOW we have a problem...and once more, I don’t have faith that our bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS will hold Combover Caligula to account on this tariff madness...and under Biden “confidence, not bravado, did the heavy lifting” indeed...and if you’re dumb enough to take “Human Capital Stock” Kevin Hassett and Couch Boy seriously, then you might as well give up (and we also just found out about another paltry jobs report)...
...and Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report cites a Princeton study on billionaires spending in elections post-Citizens United...Judd Legum does great reporting generally, and he nails it again on rich scumbag Paul Singer acquiring CITGO in November (a subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-run oil company) as a reason for our invasion of that country...report lists all of the ways that Singer is fluffing Dear Orange Leader, including going after U.S. House Repug Thomas Massie of Kentucky for his work on the Epstein discharge petition... billionaires’ collective wealth rose by $21 billion last year; naah, we don’t have a scheming kleptocracy on our hands...not much we don’t...44 of the 902 U.S. billionaires hold public office, which should be illegal as far as yours truly is concerned, but good luck keeping our wretched SCOTUS from preventing that...as much as I detest billionaires generally, I’m not comfortable with pre-emptively prosecuting them for that, to be honest...(NSFW/H)...
..and Farron Cousins tells us that Don The Con just cut off welfare funds to blue states, based on that utterly ridiculous video filmed by this right wing guttersnipe claiming (with no evidence) that there was fraud in Minnesota at a Somali-run day care center...actually, the decision to deprive funding to five states (here, including four that had nothing to do with this, and that would be California of course, Colorado, New York, and Illinois) came from HHS and Bobby Brainworms...Pumpkin Pol Pot continues to inflict relentless hardship on this country...
...and Dem U.S. House Rep Stephen Lynch goes after the Gropenfuhrer in the matter of “stolen valor” on renaming the Kennedy Center...I was wondering how long it was going to take for a Democrat to actually say something about that, but kudos to Lynch for doing the right thing...
...and yesterday marked the 15th anniversary of the near-fatal shooting of Dem congresswoman Gabby Giffords and the murders of federal judge John Roll and 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green (niece of one-time Phillies general manager Dallas Green), among others (here) – so damn much that still needs to be done to combat gun violence in this country, among the MANY issues neglected chiefly by elderly boomer conservatives (and I regularly interact with these people, so I think I have the right to say that)...
...and Ronny Chieng of The Daily Show gives us his take on the Minneapolis tragedy...Dog Killer Noem tries to be as disgusting and baldfaced of a liar as her boss, but she plainly can’t pull that off...and gee, for this Jonathan Ross guy to have apparently been almost run over, he sure was “quick on the draw” to SHOOT AN UNARMED WOMAN POSING NO GODDAMN THREAT RIGHT IN HER HEAD!!!...and why am I not one bit goddamn surprised that ICE did some cross-marketing BS with online gamers to try and get them hired to bust people’s heads in blue states? (and GREAT anti-ICE ad at the end)...
...and we lost The Think White Duke 10 years ago tomorrow (I absolutely wore out “Station To Station” on 8-track...you can Google it...while driving around in my beat-up Dodge Dart back in the day).
