  1. Go UAW! Thank you to the unions for trying to close the wealth gap that has been destroying our nation for decades. Yours in solidarity.

  2. Imagine Kinzinger and Duncan reviving the GOP. I would like to suggest that they truly go back to the roots of this progressive party. Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt the trust buster, Fiorello LaGuardia, all Republicans, all progressives. For now, see you in November!! September for early voting. 🗽⚖️ 💙🌊💙🌊⚖️🗽

  3. Happy birthday, President Carter. Thank you for renewing our souls after the Watergate mess. Thank you for habitat for humanity. Thank you. 99 years young!! Happy birthday! Have two cupcakes!

  4. Adams, worst mayor ever. I voted for the guy, but he has been a gigantic disappointment. Can't handle housing, no plan for affordable housing for NYers, no plan for immigration resettlement, although NYC has been handling immigration for over one hundred years. Cannot wait to vote him out. He's only interested in kissing up to real estate interests so they will fund his next campaign. There are thousands of empty warehoused housing units, Adams, and you know it. Supervise your real estate buddies, and find another city. NYC is so done with this guy. You, sir, are the crisis. 🗽

  5. Support the workers. Period. Their money gets spent back into the economy. The CEO money gets squirreled away. Stock buybacks don't help your town build small businesses, get better healthcare, etc. Supporting workers helps all of us.

  6. edwardsavela: absolutely, unions created prosperity in the 50s. Since the 80s, the pursuit of "trickle down economics" has created a dangerous wealth gap. More than overdue to fix the mistakes and go back to a model that we know can work for working class people.
    15
  7. Strong reminder that business fraud is important, especially in NYC the home of the stock exchange and other elements of our financial infrastructure. Also overdue to have more oversight of the NYC real estate industry to reduce rents and warehousing of apartments. Remember that the next caee is primarily a case about falsifying business records. Reducing fraud in business, I'm for it. Huzzah!

  8. Imagine if we had updated immigration legislation, instead of trying to make legislation from the 1980s fit the realities of 2024. Thank you, President Biden, for doing your best. Congress, can you do your best? Speaker Johnson? No? The dear leader won't allow you to do your job?
    10
  9. I hope we can continue to utilize President Biden's amazing talent for getting legislation across the finish line. I hope he can at least put some bills in draft before the end of his term: SCOTUS reform, affordable housing, rental caps, corporate greed. Please, let's do this carefully. So much of this has 1968 vibes. No more party splits, no more Nixon mistakes. 💙🌊

  10. The interview with Representative Dingell was very helpful. One of the things auto workers gave up in 2008 while trying to help save these mismanaged auto companies was their Cost of Living Adjustment. Therefore, they have been going backwards for over a decade. The auto companies are doing very well now. It's time to restore the cost of living adjustment (COLA) and provide wage increases that match the bounty the CEOs have been enjoying. That's only fair. Period. These companies owe a debt to these workers, pay your debt. Period. Yours in solidarity. 🗽
    10
  11. Can't wait to see what those cars look like once the CEOs roll up their sleeves and try to build them by themselves. Lol Would you drive a car built by a CEO? Solidarity with UAW all the way.

  12. Rest in Power President Carter. We were lucky to have you. Thank you for the Camp David Accords, and all of your post presidential humanitarian works, plus international election oversight. Thank you, thank you.

  13. Strike=short term pain for long term gains in a better contract. That's what union strike funds are for. Yes, it will be hard. That's why workers deserve to be compensated fairly. Workers do the hard things when they have to.

  14. These officers were involved in hand to hand combat in close quarters in many cases exposed to chemicals like bear spray. One officer after that kind of exposure died the next day.

  15. Because the USA is driven by consumer consumption, part of the reason that consumer confidence is measured constantly, yes, working class and middle class spending does impact our economy. I'm glad that you have deep pockets and greater savings reserves. However, workers deserve to eat too.

  16. Thank you, Eleanor Roosevelt, for the United Nations! 🌍🗽🌎

  17. Thank you UNICEF for speaking for the children. Thank you.

  18. You do realize that JFK Jr died in a plane crash with his wife and sister in law.

  19. Why was the piece on learning loss and teacher vacancies shoved in there as an afterthought? The condition of our public schools nationwide is a major story, an existential threat to democracy. A democracy depends upon well educated citizens.🗽

  20. Thank you for that earlier photo of President Zelensky visiting former president trump. The look of disbelief and near disgust on President Zelensky's face: "Who is this guy? How is this guy the president that I have to try to negotiate with? What is going on." Vote carefully, everyone. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  21. 18:40 Please remember that Iranian funds released to Iran under the supervision of another country's banking authorities (I believe it is South Korea) those funds can only be released for food, medicine or other humanitarian purposes. Giving Iranians the ability to eat should not be troubling to anyone. Then we can get back to work on repairing difficult diplomatic agreements that the pumpkin headed grifter dismantled.

  22. Thank you for mentioning Haiti, a country within our hemisphere. Yes, Haiti is forgotten too often. Let's step up.

  23. Netanyahu is not Israel. The Israeli electorate voted netanyahu out not long ago, but he bounced back in a parliamentary coalition. The Israeli electorate will speak in their next opportunity to vote. In the meantime, ceasefire, or humanitarian pause if you like those words better, whatever it takes to save the lives of innocent children. 🗽🌍🗽
    6
  24. Vote Abbott out. This horror happened on his watch. He was proud to sign several bills to soften Texas gun laws even further. He said that Texas would be a gun sanctuary state. Good job Abbott. Texas, please do the nation a favor and vote him out in November.
    6
  25. Wow, you guys, focus. Like children fighting in church while the pastor scowls at your mother. Focus. This is a tribute to Sandra Day O'Connor. Stop embarrassing her memory with your nonsense. 🗽💙🌊🗽
    6
  26. Can't help but think that some people don't like Ms. Harris because she is a prosecutor and a strong woman of color. It's still a view of womanhood that too many people are uncomfortable with. These might be some of the same people who don't like Fani Willis in GA or Leticia James in NYS. Go Fani, go Leticia, go Kamala. ⚖️💙⚖️

  27. I sometimes wonder if the withdrawal could have been less chaotic if our military and State Dept had not been up against that horrible surrender agreement with date certain that Pompeo gave to the Taliban. Smiling photo op with known terrorists. Just disgusting. As it is, I think they were able to get the date changed from May to August, but that surrender agreement made lots of things even harder. Whatever else we did there, for 20 years women went to work and girls went to school. Let the Afghan diaspora never forget their sisters in Afghanistan. Hoping for better for them...🗽🌻🌎🌻🗽

  28. If the Democrats can regain the House majority again (only a few seats needed, very doable), we can get legislation done again. Vote. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  29. Yes, I like Jeffries, but I despise the interviewer. It's getting to the point that I can hardly stand the sound of her voice. Yuch. She thinks she sounds like a tough journalist. Yikes.

  30. Netanyahu's irresponsibility with his own intelligence and defense is glaring. Clearly, many people were on vacation prior to October 7th. Btw, what happened to netanyahu's corruption trial? Netanyahu has been in power since 1996. Why?
    5
  31.  @cknorris  Remember what your kindergarten teacher told you, if you can't be nice, say nothing at all. See you at the ballot box. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽 Rest in Peace, Justice O'Connor. This is your day. ❄️🌹❄️
    5
  32. Lol "our hands is in his life right now"... Are you sure that's what you meant to say? It's okay, see, we all do it, sometimes mistakes happen. Vote carefully everyone. Don't get distracted by bright shiny objects. Learn from history, especially 1968, when a chaotic convention got us Nixon. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

  33. Yes, we need to follow our own laws! Ceasefire.

  34. Another creative interpretation of the second amendment. Have you read the Heller opinion? The Breun opinion? Gun rights are not unlimited.

  35. Impressive dissent. Intelligent justice who seems to be playing the long game if you will, because her words can be referred to when the next of these cases comes before the court. Well done, Justice Jackson! ⚖️💙🌊💙🌊⚖️

  36. The court has appointed a monitor on his assets, especially helpful when the time comes to sell some properties. The wheels of justice grind slowly .....
    4
  37. The court also appointed an individual to monitor his assets. That happened some time ago.

  38. This interview was excellent, especially the fact checking in real time. Looking forward to the next time this journalist handles Face the Nation. Thank you. It's sad to see Sen Scott damaging his reputation by supporting the pumpkin headed grifter. So sad.

  39. ​​ @jackisback777 But important to note that international law doesn't say that they are allowed to do that. The complete intelligence failure of October 7th, and now a very poorly trained military? If IDF is not prepared for war, maybe they shouldn't be at war. Maybe that's just another reason that a diplomatic solution is needed. Btw what is the status of netanyahu's corruption trial?
    4
  40. Netanyahu is not Israel. The Israeli electorate voted netanyahu out not long ago, but he bounced back in a parliamentary coalition. Looking forward to the next elections. Btw, what is the status of netanyahu's corruption trial?

  41. These interviews are basically live. He misspoke. He meant "too many dollars chasing too few products." The next time you speak live in front of multiple cameras in a studio filled with bright lights shining in your face, you'll understand. If you paid attention in your economics 101 class, this gaff was not difficult. Oh well, everyone has to get angry about something.
    4
  42. Absolutely! The majority of Israelis in Israel do not support netanyahu. I think it's about 70/80% opposition to netanyahu. They voted him out not too long ago, and he bounced back with a parliamentary coalition. Yuch. Enough. Netanyahu has been in power since 1996. Why? Because he has been so successful with the peace process? Start over with new prime ministers on all sides, people with diplomatic backgrounds and talents in cartography. Stick to the maps. Lots and lots of difficult sweaty work to do to fix the tragic mess. Get to work and stop fighting. 75 years of vengeance is more than enough. Get to work.

  44. The AP African American history course was a pilot program. Therefore, changes were always going to be made based on feedback from teachers and students. De Santis played a shell game where he timed his media circus to come just before a college board announcement of changes they had already made in Dec 2022. That's what made it look (to people who are not watching this guy closely) like DeSantis had told the college board what to do. A grifter is a grifter is a grifter. The Advanced Placement program is a quality academic program that exposes high school students to the rigors of what college academics might feel like. Please don't allow a con artist like DeSantis to run academic programs when he has no credentials in education. Or not, but don't subject the rest of the country to his nonsense.
    4
  45. Wow, thank you! My high school offered really good electives for seniors who were up to date in their credits. Sociology, psychology and constitutional law were the best, in addition to AP English and AP History. Sociology teacher gave an excellent explanation of behavior on a subway car. Also, a crime prevention workshop from some cops: how to hold your purse, why you avoid the question "Do you have the time?", why you always want to know who is walking behind you. In constitutional law, emphasis on unreasonable search and seizure and Miranda rights. No obsessive discussion of the second amendment, none. Go figure, simpler times. Thanks again! Stay awesome! 🗽🌆🗽

  46. Asylum seekers are protected by international law. I don't think you understand who asylum seekers are if you imagine them to be people who have lots of money. Please look up the definition of "asylum seekers" to educate yourself? Just saying....

  47. Some people find it difficult to be human. Got to wonder what his pastor has been preaching. 🗽💙🗽

  48. Brennan, the rudest "journalist" in broadcast today. Is there an Emmy category for that? Yikes

  49. Repeal PLCAA to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. This is a bill that never should have been signed. Gun manufacturers are taking in obscene profits with impunity.

  50. I think I heard the "broken record" strategy: when someone is trying to paint you into a corner and dismantle your logic unfairly, you make your point, support your point, restate your point, repeat your point, until you are clearly understood. Kamala shall not be moved. Nice. Btw, I read about the "broken record" in the context of managing adolescents and how to avoid giving the teenager the keys to the car, letting her stay out until 5am, and do all the other crazy things that teenagers try to talk you into. Lol. So what does this say about Brennan?

  51. NYC has been handling immigration for over a hundred years. Adams cannot handle it because he is a bad mayor. Where do you think Ellis Island is? Can you imagine Fiorello LaGuardia complaining about immigration?? Adams always has his hair on fire because he doesn't know what he is doing. 🗽🌎🗽

  52. Try a small family grocery for just one day? You might even enjoy the experience and add the small local store to your weekly routine.

  53. So now Abbott puts 350 unscreened individuals into a plane? How unsafe. Makes a joke of all that work TSA does to screen passengers and keep air travel safe. How many federal laws do you think Abbott is breaking with these random charter flights? How are those bus contracts awarded? Any of these charter companies related to friends and family in the Texas state legislature? An audit of Abbott's expenditures of INS processing funds on buses and plane is overdue.

  54. Passing legislation, I'm for it. Why are you against a president who knows how to get things done?

  59. The shooter in Uvalde was not a criminal. This troubled person in Nashville was not a criminal. The young man in Virginia who shot his coworkers in the store, he was not a criminal. They just had easy access to guns because of their state's flimsy gun laws. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue.

  60. Rioters were not persecuted, they were charged. Of course, different defendants were charged with different things based on their behaviors. Please remember that entering the capital in any way that day was a violation of law, because it was closed to the public for security reasons to handle the certification of the presidential election. Criminal trespass is a thing. If a law enforcement officer tells you not to enter, but you enter anyway.....that's a problem. Joining a wild mob, that's a problem that puts you and everyone else in danger. Engaging in hand to hand combat with law enforcement officers who told you not to enter..... I just can't anymore.......Use critical thinking in the future. Most people pled guilty to their offenses, so I don't understand the persecution theory. Maybe there is one person who is trying to manipulate Jan 6th to his favor so that he can avoid jail time for his crimes. Hmm.....

  61. Please please CBS any other moderator, no more Brennan. Rude, annoying, I can hardly stand to hear the sound of her voice anymore. No, Brennan, you are not going to bully a former prosecutor like Harris into giving an answer just to make you happy or look tough on TV. She gave her answer clearly. She didn't duck the question, she just gave an answer supporting Roe. 💚💙💚

  62. Who was the president in spring 2020? Anger and hostility is his currency. May the nation never ever treat elections like a game and elect a dangerous grifter again.

  63. Actually the College Board had already made changes to the AP African American history course in Dec 2022 based on feedback from students and teachers in their pilot program. Then DeSantis created a media circus close to the announcement date for those changes; that made it seem like DeSantis had dictated the changes. Because that's what con artists do. Topics actually were not eliminated, there was a shift to a research project so that a number of topics could be covered efficiently. I believe this was because some teachers found it difficult to handle every topic with direct instruction due to time limitations. This often happens with social studies teachers who are tasked with teaching all of USA history, but realistically sometimes run out of time around the Vietnam War. You know, because what if a student asks a question, or a class needs review? These are real life classroom challenges that real teachers understand. (PBS news hour actually has better coverage in this topic because they interviewed the actual college board officials in charge of the beta testing of the course. )

  64. What is disappointing is that Twomey is supposed to be a moderate. The Republicans will probably go the way of the Whigs. Oh well, I won't miss them.
    3
  65. The secret service protects a former president. The challenges of campaigns are very different from protecting the daily life of a former president. Therefore, campaigns provide their own additional security. However, campaign funds are being used for legal fees, so perhaps security is being short changed?

  67. "Netanyahu has been an exceptionally difficult partner. " Yes, yes he has. Btw what is the status of netanyahu's corruption trial? Israelis voted netanyahu out not long ago, but he bounced back as part of a parliamentary coalition. Netanyahu is not Israel. If the Israeli electorate can take their nation back... 🗽

  68. I guess GOP fans think the ability to pass and sign legislation, lots of it, is a sign of dementia. Hmm.... Who was your social studies teacher? 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

  69. As a lawmaker, your primary responsibility is drafting and passing laws. The ability to pass legislation and sign laws does not make you incompetent, it makes you highly competent. Do you understand now? I vote for presidents who pass and sign legislation. I suggest you should too, but you do you. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  70. President Biden's impressive legislative record will be difficult to match! We were lucky to have Joe Biden as our president. I hope President Biden is planning his post presidency, and I hope he left the recipe for his secret sauce on Congressional negotiations and legislative success for the next president of the USA, President Harris. Vote. 🗽🌎💙🌊⚖️💙🌊🌍🗽

  71. I believe Eugene McCarthy had more primary votes, but the Democratic convention in 1968 was an open convention with an ugly floor fight. They decided to nominate Humphrey. Then George Wallace split the party with his own third party. A real mess. That's why it was important in 2024 to avoid an open convention. They are ugly and dysfunctional. Democracy is not chaos. Go Kamala go. Go Tim go. 💙🌊🐬💙🌊

  72. Ms Cordes did a terrific job. Tough interviews, persistent tenacious questioning style, no rudeness or constant interruption. Awesomeness! Can we PLEASE have this every Sunday?! Please!

  73. So glad to hear Afghanistan mentioned. Please remember that women and girls in Afghanistan must not be forgotten by the world. Our Afghan sisters want to continue their education beyond the sixth grade so they can achieve actual careers that can benefit their people. Afghan women are deserving of human rights according to international law and United Nations guidelines. Afghan women want to work so that they can effectively distribute humanitarian aid to their people, and so that their employment can enable their own families to eat. Don't forget our Afghan allies and the women and girls of Afghanistan. 🗽🌎🗽

  74. They banned a book about two penguins in the central park zoo, a true story by the way. Pornography indeed. That's okay, time to vote you all out anyway. 💙🌊💙

  75. In general, people in cities don't greet strangers in the street. Part of that is simple psychology. The brain only wants to process a certain amount of stimulation, and areas with large populations by definition create too much stimulation. The brain starts to focus only on necessary inputs; smiles from strangers don't make the cut. You might be reading too much into his reaction.

  76. OMG maybe I should attend the next reunion! 😎 Definitely started applying NYC knowledge in my first year of college. Really unsafe campus with lots of trees and quaint architecture, not enough locks. Women getting assaulted at fraternity parties, no concern from college deans. Two guys walking behind myself and my hall mate when we were walking to our dorm from the library. I suggest evasive action to choose a wide open well lit avenue instead of the path through the trees. She says, "But we don't want them to think that we're being impolite." What?? Insanity comes in many forms. No cop ever told me it was impolite to use your brains in crime prevention.

  78.  @danielleS257  Exactly, few women want to end their pregnancy with a premature "viable fetus", they want to deliver a healthy child. In general, the last weeks of pregnancy are dedicated to fuller development of the brain, nervous system and respiratory systems. High rates of asthma and learning disabilities could well be connected to the lack of attention red states place on healthcare and public education, among other factors. What if women's healthcare was important in all states in this wealthy nation of ours? What if the health of the mother was paramount, not just the life of the mother? What if pro life zealots weren't driving OB Gyn MDs out of their states with their irrational "laws". Vote like your lives depend upon it, because they do. 💚💙🌊💙🌊💚

  80. If she allowed him to ramble on and on , then he can continue his misinformation and she will not have time to fact check. He is trying to run out her clock, knowing that time is very limited on these shows. She must interrupt,and she must fact check, more than she is doing now.

  87. Fentanyl control and gun control are two entirely different issues. Using bright shiny objects to distract from the need for gun safety legislation to keep our children alive is shameful and disrespectful. Lack of fentanyl control is mostly about the inability of border control to screen trucks and cargo at points of entry. So they have to work on that. There's technology they are missing or some screening procedure that they need to upscale. Why don't you help them with that? Before the pandemic, NYC was enjoying historically low crime rates. Strict gun control got us there. Gun control works. NYC is not perfect, but our schools do not experience mass shootings. An AR 15 cannot walk up the block into a school; in a gun control environment it would be spotted and called in before reaching the school. Then there's metal detectors at the doors too. Keep the guns out, get it? Fewer guns, not more guns. That's why gun control works. Because certain states want to curry favor with the gun industry, they want open carry and no permits. How do you expect the police to work with that chaos? Everyone is at risk in such an environment, and the "good guy with a gun" who has terrible aim because training isn't even required.... Well, I would not want to be an innocent bystander. Or try gun control, just saying ...

  88. I am really looking forward to a new relationship with Vietnam. I hope we can develop something similar to what we have with Japan. I already try to buy products labeled Made in Vietnam (after I get exhausted looking for products labeled Made in the USA that just are not on the shelf. Kenmore? Sears, what happened to you all? Oops, sorry, drifted off topic there.) After what we did to Vietnam with agent orange, the least we owe them is a trade relationship. Imagine if we had negotiated trade in the late 1950s? Maybe we could have avoided a war.

  89. She actually tried to avoid any political or policy questions, but Brennan was trying to get her to slip up. McCain must be completely apolitical and neutral, because she must raise money from everyone and give food to everyone. I guess Brennan's attempts to derail McCain are her contribution to world hunger? Very frustrating, the most aggravating "journalist" in broadcast today.

  93. It is time to draft a new amendment to enshrine public safety in the Constitution. Children and innocent people should have as many rights as guns. Remember, it is the right of the people to bear arms. The people, the group, the community, the society. Not the right of a person, an individual who wants to own any gun for any purpose. A public safety amendment can rebalance the 2nd amendment, perhaps the most misinterpreted single sentence in the USA, especially since the Heller decision muddied the waters. But even Scalia did state that gun rights are not unlimited. A public safety amendment is overdue. Ratification is not easy, but not impossible. Continuing to do nothing in the face of daily gun violence, that's impossible. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

  102. Brennan is a terrible journalist and an unskilled interviewer at best. Maybe her ratings are slipping. I know I avoid Face the Nation now, only tune in if there is a particular guest, and I am overjoyed when someone else fills in for her.
    2
  103. Wow, really? NYC is not a perfect place, but our schools do not have mass shootings. Because we have strict gun control, it would be almost impossible for someone to carry an AR 15 up the block and enter a school. It would be spotted and called in to the police long before he reached the school door. Although we do have school safety officers, they are not armed, because putting more guns into a school is dangerous. It's too easy for a student to grab that gun in a scuffle. But gun control does work. The second amendment fan club doesn't want to hear it, but gun control works. NYC schools do not experience mass shootings. Imagine that.
    2
  104. Wow, Brennan, worst interviewer ever. I was so happy to see others filling in for her. I avoid Face the Nation now because of her lack of journalistic training. Sometimes she has a guest I want to hear, but she is a misery.
    2
  105. I find your story hard to believe. She was likely charged with criminal trespass, disrupting a government proceeding, participating in a mob, all true. Her public defender would have made sure that she was not charged with theft if there was no proof of that crime. Even an incompetent public defender would have caught that. I find this story difficult to believe. Please use reliable news sources.

  107. Mortgage rates during Reagan's presidency were scandalously high. Inflation was sky high. The economy remained a problem through the presidency of Bush Sr. That's why Clinton was able to win in 1992 on "It's the economy stupid.". The GOP memory is a funny thing. 💙🌊💙

  108. I have always voted Democratic, always have, always will. That doesn't mean that i go out of my way to offend independent voters so I am really confused about your comment. The statements I made about the Reagan economy are factual. It is widely recognized that trickle down economics did not work. As a resident of NYC, I stand behind my remarks on Mayor Adams, because I am living with the difficulties he is creating. I assume that you do not live in NYC and are only using his camera appearances to motivate you to defend him. Mayor Adams is a bad mayor; I cannot wait for the earliest opportunity to vote him out. Congress needs to address the INS situation with updated immigration legislation. Our current immigration laws are decades out of date. Remember when McCain crafted immigration legislation and the GOP voted it down? Have a nice day. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  109. If people are confident that their police will not defend them, they should be working towards police reform, not spending money on more guns. Don't you feel your pocket being picked?

  110. Good police officers very much are public servants, and most police officers in the USA are good police officers. The neighborhood policing model in NYC had achieved huge improvements in both lowering crime and moving us away from the profiling nightmare of the "stop and frisk" days. Before the pandemic, NYC was enjoying historically low crime rates. Strict gun control, plus neighborhood policing, got us there. Bad cops, truly horrible repugnant police officers who often have committed horrible acts in other towns then transferred and did it all again, these cops do not represent all cops. But once those bad cops make the news.... So, like guns, strong "regulations" are needed to control a problem that is literally killing people.

  111.  @ginenelafontaine8343  Thanks, but I'm not confused at all about who is who in this family. I posted a longer response on why I was concerned about Ms Sandra switching letters around the way she does, but it was removed. A lot of that is going around these days. I think Miss Sandra is troubled, and I wonder if there isn't another cult forming around this guy. Some of the descriptions of his amazing intellect and spiritual attributes...hmmm.... Based on how his own family is worried about RFK jr, I wonder if the taping and posting of the phone call with the pumpkin head was an accident at all. I appreciate the trauma that this man has been through, but he is not qualified to be president. He is being used as a spoiler, and it makes me....well, I guess frustrated is a nice calm word for it. RFK jr should return to environmental law if he really wants to serve the nation. He was actually good at that. Stay awesome, stay voting. ⚖️💙🌊⚖️

  112. The story is disgusting. This guy needs help. A presidential campaign is the last thing he should be doing right now. I hope he returns to environmental law; he was actually good at that. Go Kamala go! Go Tim go. 💙🌊

  113.  @Tasi9107  Actually I might have to apologize. There might be cuts and stabs, just that RFkjr didn't include those details in the video I saw. Maybe there is a longer video, but more likely comes from the police reports when this disgusting dumping thing happened in 2014. There definitely was a rather intense investigation when this happened in 2014. The New Yorker has an article on the subject due to release soon, might be out already? The New Yorker story is what motivated RFK jr to release the video, I guess to tell his side? Disgusting.

  115. Thank you for reviewing the information on the surrender agreement created by Pompeo and conpany, especially the release of thousands of known terrorists. Plus the neglected paperwork for Afghan allies and the neglect of the other administration that left too many Afghans stranded. Unfortunately, some voters have very incomplete memories of 2019, 2020 and 2021. We need to remember so that it is less likely to happen again. History, especially accurate history, history matters. 🗽💙🗽

  124. Time to vote harder in November, even harder than we did in 2020. The republican party is in almost complete decay, they will never pass common sense gun control, they are enjoying the begging. We must have 60+ democratic senators and a house majority so that Congress can function again. The begging is just....Yuch! Why should a Congressional rep from Buffalo have to walk away in disgust? He is representing the pain in his city, the pain of his constituents, in other words, doing his job. Why should Sen Murphy have to beg after the pain that his state endured after Sandy Hook. Honestly, it is physically sickening. Vote like our lives depend upon it.

  126. Experience is a good thing. In order to have an impressive level of experience, you are usually older than the average bear. Experience in government sometimes means that you know how to get legislation passed and signed. The ability to use your experience to pass legislation does not make you unfit for office. Legislation helps the nation. I'm for it. See you on election day. 💙🌊💙

  127. Why doesn't the GOP majority put a guest worker bill together? They seem to prefer complaining about immigration rather than solving it. What would Abbott do if he didn't have immigration to complain about? He would miss his favorite scapegoats, and he might actually have to solve gun violence. GOP also enjoys passing bills out of the House that they know they don't have votes for in the Senate. They don't seem to know how to govern. School House Rock: How a bill becomes a law. "Well, I'm only a bill, sitting here on Capitol Hill. " 🎶🎵🎶. They also love spending taxpayer dollars on numerous investigating committees. That increases the deficit too.

  130. I know exactly who Sliwa is. He is barely qualified to have a radio show; he is in no way qualified to be a mayor of any village, much less NYC. In the 1980s, he was only interested in walking on block patrols, and then riding on the subways after most block patrols had stopped. That strategy was found to be ineffective by grassroots block leaders. He likes the red jacket and the cool hat. Continuing to volunteer on grassroots crime prevention committees that worked closely with NYPD precincts on more effective strategies? Not interested. Working on housing issues, arson prevention? Not interested. Helping tenants who were managing their own buildings? Not interested. Mortgage practices and insurance practices in the Bronx? Not interested. He likes walking around with a red jacket making noise. If you don't know that about him, you have been listening to hype. He lives in a Manhattan studio apt with cats, lots and lots of cats.

  131. If it was before the 2000s, it wasn't an AR 15 in the back of your truck. That's the problem. The AR 15 is not a true hunting rifle, because it is too destructive and leaves no usable meat. It didn't sell well, it wasn't popular. The irresponsible gun industry developed a thoroughly irresponsible advertising strategy to target underage males calling the AR 15 their "man card". Sales jumped in the millions, and here we are. Also, Bush signed PLCAA in 2005 to shield gun manufacturers from liability. So they make buckets of money with impunity. Sales usually increase after a mass shooting, so the gun manufacturers are loving this misery. Look for the information the Sandy Hook families and their attorneys used in their successful civil case against the gun manufacturer that helped to slaughter their precious children. It was on CBS, so it should be easy to find on YouTube. Go ahead, you'll learn something.

  134. Pompeo negotiated a surrender agreement with known terrorists and kept the elected Afghan govt away from the table. Had his picture taken with big smiles with the Taliban. Grotesque. Hard to imagine anything positive coming from a mess like that. Was the Afghan govt perfect? No, but they should have been at the table. Of course the withdrawal was chaotic. After the Taliban were emboldened by that surrender agreement, it would have been almost impossible to keep a small force in country. They would have been under constant attack and requiring additional build up for protection. Every time I hear maga creeps asking why don't we force Ukraine to the table to negotiate with Putin, I see Pompeo and the pumpkin headed grifter behind all of that poison. Biden always says, nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. Good for him. Whatever else we did in Afghanistan, for 20 years girls went to school and women went to work. Please do not forget our Afghan sisters who are still struggling and bravely protesting. I hope the Afghan diaspora plans for their sisters to create a brighter future for them soon.

  135. Most parents get super frustrated by their own children. That's why pandemic zoom school was so difficult for them. Just supervising their own child at home frayed parents' nerves beyond belief. Had them protesting in the streets demanding the end of zoom school. Now multiply the number of children by a lot, and that frustrated person is a cop with a large weapon without training in class management or educational psychology, and he's dealing with a troubled learning disabled child having a tantrum in the hallway. Hmm.... We've seen how traffic stops are too difficult. Why would the school scenario be easier? Be a real parent, be really honest, then answer. Fewer guns, not more guns. Understand? That's why gun control works. Let schools be places of teaching and learning again. And if Ted Cruz is for it, that's another reason to think twice. Remember his idea that every school should have only one door? No fire safety. That was his plan after Uvalde. This is about using our brains and demanding comprehensive federal gun safety legislation. State laws are clearly not working.

  137.  @anneholthaus6259  Absolutely it's about accountability. PLCAA was signed in 2005 giving gun manufacturers protection from liability that virtually no other industry enjoys, not big tobacco, not auto makers. A SCOTUS review of PLCAA could be quite interesting. Even with PLCAA in place, Sandy Hook families recently settled a successful $70 million civil case against the gun manufacturer based on their grisly marketing that targeted young teen males on the AR 15. That's why these 18 year old boys bought that assault weapon right after their birthday, they knew of the weapon because it was marketed at them for years prior. The $70 million award left that gun company bankrupt. Goal. One down, more to go. I believe some Buffalo families are exploring a similar case, and at least one Uvalde family too. Be well, be safe, be tenacious for the long road ahead!!🌻🌱

  138.  @shawnstephens1251  Texas background checks were obviously ineffectual if an 18 year old could purchase body armour, two AR 15, and more ammunition than the military provides to soldiers on a combat mission. All within 48 hours, and no one thought to stop him or even to warn area law enforcement. Every police organization in Texas objected to permit free carry, but Abbott signed it anyway. I guess he is proud. The families destroyed by this lack of responsibility feel differently. Texas gun laws are so soft, criminal gangs in Mexico actually use Texas as a source for illegal weapons. Thanks, Texas.

  141. Now I hear the conspiracy theories bubbling up. Wow. Yes, it does seem that federally licensed dealers have one type of screening process, but there are other dealers selling guns too. Why Texas? Isn't that another loophole that national legislation is trying to close? The teacher who was accused of not locking the door was exonerated by looking at the video footage. Not a conspiracy, just someone who didn't get the story straight. Seems to be a lot of that going on in Texas lately.

Stay awesome Uvalde.

  143. Don't get ahead of yourself, NYC laws are not unconstitutional yet, SCOTUS decision not yet released. Test case came out of western NYS, not NYC, so it is very likely that SCOTUS will allow for different needs in urban centers. If your family members are shooting guns on the Grand Concourse, they are part of the problem. First of all, ILLEGAL , and likely an illegal gun trafficked from another state. If all of that makes you happy, you don't sound like a law abiding responsible gun owner to me. Good luck to your family, but I might suggest that they attend their next community council meeting and work towards making the neighborhood safer. That works. Firing off guns on Moshulu Parkway, nope.

  144. Dear udontneedtoknow, Your cousin's story doesn't sound like self defense, sounds like stray gun fire on a city street. I am sure the innocent bystanders are loving it. Your cousins might not be the most popular neighbors on the block. Carrying a gun without a permit will get you arrested in NYC, so they could be getting in over their head any day now. You might want to counsel them on that rather than enabling them. Concealed carry permits are for special security, off duty police, some officers of the court. AR 15, not even, therefore NYC is working on street crime, reducing gang activity, not mass shootings. Be safe, stay calm, don't forget to breathe.

  148.  @billtuckjr2834  Exactly, thank you. In addition, the training requirement is basically a waiting period. The young man in Virginia who shot his coworkers in the store, he bought that gun the same day as the incident. What if he had to go through training and think things through? He might have had time to just rewrite his resume and change jobs instead. Also, training adds a set of professional eyes to the problem. A trainer would probably spot concerning behaviors and could flag law enforcement regarding certain trainees. It would act as a type of red flag. How can the second amendment fan club claim that getting training before buying a gun is a bad thing? It would have to pass. Nibble away on another layer of the onion. Then we repeal PLCAA, the worst law Bush ever signed. Repeal PLCAA to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. Be well, stay safe. 💙🌊💙

  149. Immigration legislation needed from Congress. GOP needs to stop voting no on immigration. "Current" immigration legislation is decades out of date. We need a guest worker program, new quotas to reflect today's realities in the hemisphere, finalize DACA, etc. Harris has already been working on dialogues with leaders from the hemisphere, but immigration cannot be resolved through executive orders. DACA proved that. Congress, get to work. GOP, stop complaining, start writing real bills, and stop voting no on immigration. 🗽💙🗽

  150. The majority of the USA population supports gun safety legislation. The job of the legislature is to represent the will of the people.

We will do this on our own since they won't get out of the way. Voters hire, voters fire. 💙🌊💙

  151. Nope, none of the above. There are many small high schools in the Bronx producing really wonderful students with tremendous potential, especially because Bronx kids are just amazing anyway. Just living in the neighborhood is a tremendous education. Emotional intelligence, resilience, problem solving, logical thinking with an urban twist, etc. There's a whole slice of educational psychology that proves that urban kids are predisposed to greater intelligence than their suburban counterparts, especially if they can successfully tune out the negative messages that the larger society uses to dismantle their self image. But that's probably too much psychology for one day. 🌇 Long live high school memories! Pulling out the yearbooks right now! 🌻🗽🌻🌆🦋

  155. Please remember that life saving after care for miscarriage is a d&c, also known as an abortion. Without a d&c, necrotic tissue remains inside the mother's body, resulting in sepsis, infertility and worse. Pay attention to the lawsuit out of Texas concerning several women who endured such mistreatment. Of course men want access to abortion, for the safety of their wives and the mother of their children. Imagine driving your pregnant wife across state lines in a panic while she is in the middle of a miscarriage, because you know that your state will no longer allow her to be treated appropriately. And if she succumbs to sepsis, her other children will grow up without a mother. This already occurred in Poland after they augmented their "pro life" laws. Shameful. 💚💙💚

  183.  @dennisg4053  Yes, NYS concealed carry permit regulations are currently under review by SCOTUS, decision due at the close of this term. I am truly worried about this. Because that's what NYC needs, more people walking around with guns!!! What are they thinking? What happened to states rights? And spare me the "good guys" with bad aim want to live in their own movie by engaging in gun battles on Broadway or in the subway. Truly horrifying. Has the California law reached SCOTUS yet? Perhaps still hope that ruling can be overturned? One of the worst rulings is Heller, from 2008?, opinion written by Scalia, almost anything I have seen says this was a flawed opinion that departed dramatically from precedent. I hope these cases can be reviewed; maybe some cases from Buffalo or Uvalde can make their way through the courts. Sandy Hook families had a successful civil case, don't know if that could be reviewed further. If Plessy v Ferguson can fall, any case can be reviewed. Be well, be safe. Vote in November, our lives literally depend on it.

  184. NYC strong gun laws did reduce crime significantly; for many years we were one of the safest big cities. Anyone who tells you gun control laws don't work is probably trying to sell you a gun by augmenting irrational fears and distrust in democracy. Spend your money on better things; don't let gun dealers pick your pocket. Most of the trouble comes from illegal guns flooding in from other states up the turnpike. We are having problems with ghost guns lately because this latest gun company trick is difficult to trace, therefore exactly the kind of product a criminal needs. If gun owners truly are responsible and law abiding, they would not want something like ghost guns out in the world and they should pressure their legislators to eliminate ghost guns. Why isn't NRA fighting ghost guns?

Look at what has happened to the GOP House. Luckily, Speaker Jefferies is coming soon to steer the ship to safer harbors. Stop starving public schools and restore civics education. Create an accurate history curriculum for all states. Democracy depends upon an informed citizenry, and I'm not sure we truly have that right now in every state. We probably need to rethink this state to state education system, because some of the gaps in knowledge and skills are alarming.

  188. As a 12 year old, you were probably not living in a world that had millions of AR 15. The AR 15 was tested by the military for Vietnam, then they went with the m 16 instead. It wasn't adapted for the civilian market (huge mistake that its inventor would not have supported, by the way) until the 70s. It was extremely unpopular. Sales did not spike until Vietnam was a memory and the draft is gone, because a nation exhausted by war would not have found military styled anything to be appealing. Then the irresponsible gun industry targets underage males, calling the AR 15 "your man card." Sales spiked, and here we are. That's the difference. No new sales of AR 15, mandated gun safes to store the old AR 15 if you need to keep it, repeal PLCAA to restore liability to gun manufacturers.

When you do it with a mob in the halls of Congress, it is much worse. These are crimes. She was told to stop multiple times by law enforcement, and she refused to comply. She should have followed the law, and not have allowed herself to be recruited into a mob.

  192. That's ridiculous. We are not asking candidates to retake their mid terms. Without government experience on their resume, any candidate has already told you that they are unlikely to have the bandwidth to do the job for four years. No company, no environmental law firm, would hire someone for their key executive role with zero experience in the resume. Would never happen, and you know it. 💙🌊💙🌊 Go Kamala go!

  193. I'm really sorry, but I cannot spend my life in the comments universe. I know that 1968 was very traumatizing, and I'm sorry about that. It's important to elect a president in 2024 in a strategic, disciplined, organized fashion to avoid more trauma to the nation. RFk jr is not worthy of my vote. He does not have experience with governing. Reading a lot of history books will not fill that gap. It's clear that you, however, are very attracted to his candidacy. Unfortunate, because he cannot win and will only draw votes away from others. I pray that he draws votes away from the pumpkin head. He is an unscrupulous person who took advantage of NYC for decades, and engaged in fraud and worse for approximately 50 years. Attorney General Leticia James and District Attorney Alvin Bragg have proved these claims in NYS courts. He should not be permitted to return to the White House to create more damage to our nation. Please vote carefully so that you do not unwittingly assist this fraudster. I will be voting for Kamala Harris because she is qualified. A former prosecutor is the perfect opponent for a convicted felon. I cannot discuss this matter with you any further. I feel confident that I have made my argument perfectly clear multiple times. 🗽💙🌊🐬💙🌊🗽

  195. Well regulated means well regulated. Read the Breun opinion; it contains guidelines for gun regulations. We do not live in the 1700s, we live in 2023. The purpose of constitutional interpretation is to make a very old constitution flexible enough to respond to the times. Originalist is not the only approach to constitutional law, not even the best one. Please remember this current SCOTUS does not enjoy the support or respect of the public, as opposed to other SCOTUS in USA history. However, the real problem is that the second amendment cannot keep innocent school children alive. Therefore,it has outlived its usefulness to the nation. It's time for a new amendment to enshrine public safety in the constitution. 🗽

  196. Rereading dictionaries from the 1700s is a meaningless exercise. Ultimately, you have only proven that the second amendment has outlived its usefulness to the nation.

  197. Laws change to match the will of the people. The majority of the USA population supports gun safety legislation. The majority of the USA population also understands that any common sense interpretation of the second amendment does not match the convoluted conclusions that have been developed by gun clubs. These misinterpretations are basically excuses for the gun manufacturers to sell more guns, and no one is fooled by these tactics. "You and your children must continue to die because the second amendment says so." Come on, no one is falling for this. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue. The second amendment is seeming more and more irrelevant every day. Are you still fighting redcoats? They're gone. Are you arming yourself against our own military and law enforcement? Wow! Insurrection much? Maybe you could vote for a new sheriff, speak with your precinct commander about your concerns, attend a community council meeting, vote for a new state legislature, support your local National Guard. Maybe host a little brunch for them?

  198. I don't have more time to waste on this. Stubbornness is not a virtue. Tenacity is. I guarantee you that the survivors of mass shootings are tenacious. Twenty years of this carnage has created a growing number of survivors. I am certain that the heart broken parents of slaughtered children are absolutely tenacious in their desire to make this carnage end. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation will pass. It is the will of the people. Common sense interpretation of the second amendment would be helpful, but if it needs to go, it needs to go. Good luck, be well, stay safe.

  199. Jodie: Thank you, thank you, thank you. NYC schools have safety officers, but they are not armed for this very reason. Fewer guns, fewer problems. I don't understand what people don't understand. But I do understand that the gun industry is making buckets of money from this misery. And wouldn't these irresponsible gun vendors want a contract to sell guns to every school district in the nation? Their disgusting mouths are dripping already. None of these people can feel it when their pockets get picked?? NYC schools are not perfect, but our schools do not experience mass shootings. Because NYC is a strict gun control environment, an AR 15 walking down the block towards a school would be spotted immediately and called in to police. Now, if you have open carry and no permits, how can the police work with that chaos? Gun control works. Be well, stay safe. Vote them all out if they can't write comprehensive federal gun safety legislation. Period. Enough.

  200.  @willmont8258  Tell me you know nothing about education without telling me. So you would cuff an elementary school child for misbehaving in the hallway? Really? Maybe because they were sassy? Spell de-escalation for me? I hope you have never had children of your own, or perhaps child protective services already has your number. Wow. And I bet you want to open carry without a permit. I have never been happier to live in a strict gun control environment.
    1
  201. willmont82: wow. Huge gulf in logic. Let's review. Police officers and law enforcement need to be armed, because they have a difficult role to play in society. They must use those arms responsibly when interacting with all civilians and possible offenders. They are not judge, jury or executioner, and if they understand that on a visceral level, then they can be trusted with those arms and be accountable for misusing those arms. Schools are places of teaching and learning and positive socialization for students. It's where children learn to make friends and get along with people and learn math and science and reading and especially history. It's a place for teachers and counselors and assistant principals and deans and principals and school nurses. Armed law enforcement, not so much, unless those police officers want to lock up their guns for safety, learn class management and educational psychology, maybe go in depth on a particular subject so that they have knowledge of value to share with students. Hope this is helpful. Children want to go to school, and comprehensive federal gun safety legislation will help them stay alive while they do that. Fewer guns, not more guns. States with flimsy gun laws have not been helping in making that happen, so comprehensive federal legislation is needed.

If they were offered a certain status for a certain length of time, then why break that agreement when the asylum seeker has done nothing wrong that their status should be stripped from them and their family.

Don't get overwhelmed by the firehose of activity coming from agent orange. If it sounds wrong, it probably is. Be prepared to challenge everything. Don't be collateral.

  223. If RFK jr is sincere in his desire to help, he can run for local office, maybe his city council, even as a Congressional representative. Why the necessity to start with the presidency even though he has no government experience. The reason he is running for president is to act as a spoiler. If he is sincere, he would return to environmental law; he was actually good at that.

  224. Congress is national; the legislation that passes through Congress has federal impact. Starting with a run for president is insincere at best. Rfk jr should return to his work as an environmental lawyer. The environment is also a national issue. Go Kamala go! Prosecutor, district attorney, attorney general, Senator and vice president. Ready to serve.

  225. Some of this sounds like the comments that fans and followers make. I just don't think we need another cult. He does not have experience in government service. If you apply for a job with Starbucks, they ask about your experience as a barista. I'm not willing to ask for less from a presidential campaign. His dad had years of experience in government service. Why would we ask less of his son? Please don't vote for a spoiler. However, I do have faith in the USA electorate, and I know that very few people are such unquestioning ardent followers of this guy. So he doesn't have a chance to win.

  229. The right is the right to privacy. That is the same thread that connects the Loving v Virginia case, the case upholding contraception, and the marriage equality case. That's why tumbling Roe put all of that at risk. Do you want to give DeSantis the right to pick your future wife? Abbott gets to tell you you can't use birth control? But a state legislature gets to make medical decisions for women, gets to tell them they have to wait in the parking lot until they get sepsis so that they can be declared close enough to death to merit a d&c for treatment after a miscarriage? Imagine a man arriving at an emergency room with the beginning stages of a stroke, and the MD says, go back home. I'm not allowed to treat you until your stroke is much worse and you are almost dying. Hope you make it back in time. Good luck.

Inflation was not caused by President Biden. Pandemic supply glitches, bird flu that impacted egg prices, the invasion of Ukraine impacting grain prices, all of those factors and more impacted inflation around the globe. USA is not the only nation grappling with inflation. If prices doubled at your groceey store, you need to find another store. They are ripping you off. Shop strategically, wait for sales, choose alternate items with better prices.

  237. AR 15 was tested by the military for possible use in Vietnam, then it was rejected and they went with the m16 instead. Gun manufacturers then adapted the AR 15 for civilian use. Therefore, it is absolutely a military styled weapon. Sales on AR 15 were a bit disappointing, until gun manufacturers changed advertising strategies, began to target young teen males so that they were well aware of the weapon well before their 18th birthday. The gun was presented as their "man card". In addition, the weapon provides the illusion of a military experience for those who have no intention of providing service to the nation. Again, military styled. On the basis of these manipulative advertising strategies, survivors' families have won some civil cases bankrupting some gun manufacturers. The gun industry knows what they are doing, and they are making huge amounts of money in this questionable manner.

  238. Ten states already ban AR 15. What are the other states waiting for? If a ladder was connected to so much death, it would be off the market.

The first amendment does not depend upon the irresponsible application of the second amendment.

If the second amendment can't keep innocent school children from dying in horrific terroristic events, then the second amendment has outlived its usefulness to the nation.

  254. I think we were spoiled as a nation that we enjoyed so many decades of solid SCOTUS interpretation and opinions. Because of this current SCOTUS reliance on so-called textualism, however, now the honeymoon is over. They simply seem to say, "Well, this concept was not written into the Constitution by the framers in the 1700s, so we strike it down.". Strangely, textualism didn't seem to apply when they were reviewing the 14th amendment and its provisions for keeping insurrectionists off the ballot. And when they needed to completely fabricate a king-like immunity for presidents that can be found nowhere in our founding documents, again the lack of textualism was not a problem for the majority. So I guess they are textualists until they are not? So if everything has to be written into the Constitution, amendments are the way to survive this SCOTUS until some retirements or some reform creates some shifts. The amendment to make it clear that presidents are not immune is the first order of business. If the SCOTUS is confused about how to apply the right to privacy to the modern realities of marriage equality and reproductive healthcare, then we will have to spell it out for them in an amendment. We could probably use most of the ERA, but explicitly add the right to privacy in medical decisions, and mention contraception, miscarriage treatment, followup care for incest and rape, and abortion. The marriage equality piece could be a separate amendment, again connected to the right to privacy as in the current controlling opinions, but this time adding explicit language about marriage equality, mixed race marriage, and same sex marriage. Then we need to move on to drafting a new amendment to protect public safety, by being explicit about what national gun safety regulations need to look like. Misinterpretations of the second amendment are multiplying, and it's clear that we cannot continue this carnage of daily gun violence. The second amendment can remain, but a new amendment needs to provide balance to protect innocent school children, shoppers, worshippers, etc. "Shall not be infringed" is not solving anything. Guns cannot continue to have more rights than innocent people. We have a lot of work to do. Let's get busy. 💙🌊⚖️💙🌊

The Breun opinion contains guidelines for gun regulations. You must remember, the second amendment fan club makes stuff up. Have they read the SCOTUS opinions? Doubtful. We know the majority of the USA population supports gun safety legislation. That is the will of the people. I'm fairly sure most law enforcement supports gun control too, because this chaos doesn't help them. When a house gets robbed, those stolen guns go directly into the hands of criminals. We have a lot of work to do. Voting these people out of office is part of that work, by the way. Be well, stay safe.

If it truly was a peaceful protest, even if it got loud, the protest would end at the doors of the building, would end at the very obvious metal barriers supervised by Capitol Police. It's the "I don't care. I'm coming in anyway, and here's this mob that's coming behind me.". Anyone who truly says they don't understand that....

Many times those teens are charged, I believe as accessories.

  261. A plea deal means he pled guilty. No, he didn't need a trial. He admitted to the judge and to the court that he did something wrong, something illegal, he admitted that he was guilty. Before the judge will accept such a plea, the judge asks the defendant if he understands the charges, accepts responsibility, and expresses remorse. I don't understand why he wants sympathy after all that. There are real people with real problems who did not participate with a violent mob. I will save my energy and sympathy for them. I think that's what your pastor might want you to do too. Luckily, this guy has figured out how to turn his brush with the law into speaking engagements and "advocacy". I assume he is not volunteering? Wow, a new career for a guilty man who broke the law. Well, at least he admitted to it. At least he saved the taxpayers the cost of a full trial..

  262. It would be difficult to know what the position on reproductive healthcare is from Escobar's perspective, because Brennan didn't allow her to finish a sentence.

The distribution of immigrants to various cities and states must be managed by the INS, not Abbott stuffing people into buses without food, water, or medical screenings, without notice to the localities that will receive them so that they can plan. Abbott loves chaos, always has. That's why his section of the border is a "humanitarian crisis". Btw, how are those charter bus contracts awarded?

  268. jamestemple:. People who cannot get pregnant might not realize that severe complications can develop in a pregnancy at any week. There is no guarantee that all the bad stuff happens before 15 weeks. That's why Roe provides that OB GYN MDs can provide the correct standard of care in pregnancy and miscarriage treatment, with the consent of their pregnant patients. Maybe it's 14 weeks, maybe a horrible miscarriage occurs at 20 weeks. The decision can be made by the doctor and her patient to protect the life and health of the mother. Period. Pay attention to the lawsuit of the women in Texas who were pushed into sepsis and other dangerous horrors because the aberrations in their pregnancies could not be addressed until they could prove that they were dying. The danger of that approach should be obvious, but I can see that it's not. When you become pregnant, let me know if living with that danger, know that your medical consent is meaningless, knowing that your doctor's best judgement will not be considered, knowing that a safe standard of care is not permitted, let's see if that works for you. Codify Roe. 💚💙💚

  276. ERA has been ratified by enough states, but past an expiration date. Not sure if all amendments are tagged with an expiration date (sounds weird to me) but the ERA did have an expiration date. However, the amendment that granted the right to vote to 18 year olds, that amendment was ratified in approximately 4 months, so ratification is not easy but it is not impossible. I feel confident that the 14th amendment will not be tampered with. However, we are overdue for a public safety amendment for comprehensive gun safety so that we can end the carnage and provide context and balance for the second amendment that is so frequently misinterpreted. Let's give our children relief from the active shooter drills and provide them with a public safety amendment instead. 🗽

  278. Viability refers to the point at which the fetus can survive independently outside the womb. No fetus can survive outside the womb at 14 weeks. Therefore, it is not a baby, it is a fetus. Please pay attention in biology class.
    1
  279. Any arbitrary number of weeks does not reflect the reality that serious dangerous defects can arise in a pregnancy at any point. There is never a guarantee that all miscarriages, all fetal defects will arrive on schedule before 14 weeks. Therefore, Roe is most useful. Roe states that medical decisions are made by the mother and her doctor. Period. All medical care is conducted in this fashion, with the doctor and the informed consent of the patient. Imagine a man who is experiencing a heart attack who is not allowed to seek medical care for the heart attack, but instead is forced by the state legislature to wait until he is nearly dead before a cardiac surgeon is allowed to help him. This is the situation that has been created by these nonsensical anti abortion laws that don't seem to exhibit any understanding of how pregnancy or miscarriage or fetal anomaly occur. Currently, there are a group of women in Texas involved in a lawsuit because they were denied care, and several of them were pushed into sepsis because their doctors needed to wait until they were close enough to death to qualify as saving the mother's life. Great physical damage and infertility resulted.

  288. Dear Mr skull, your last comment did not post on the thread. Maybe you didn't want others to read it? You sound very stressed, maybe all those guns are increasing your anxiety. Stay calm, don't forget to breathe. If fox news told you that half of the NYPD was fired for lack of compliance on COVID vaccination, then you have been deceived. I am glad that virtually all NYPD came to their senses and continued to serve the public by supporting COVID control measures. New York paid a tragic tragic price for the early ineptitude of t****p on infection control, so I cannot turn COVID into a joke. It is ghoulish. Gun violence is ghoulish. Street crime vs mass shootings are very different concepts with very different solutions. Making fun of NYC doesn't reduce these grotesque school shootings, especially since NYC doesn't have them. Restricting or eliminating AR 15 would be helpful, because AR 15 was used in more than 12 of these horrific events:. Buffalo, Uvalde, El Paso, Aurora, Las Vegas, Parkland, Sandy Hook, etc etc etc. It is ghoulish and grotesque.

  289. First, let's focus. This is about Sandra Day O'Connor. She deserves her day. Having said that, President Biden has signed an impressive amount of legislation. That's the job. So you're angry at him for doing his job? Inflation down to 3%, no additional interest rate increases from the Fed, interest cuts predicted soon, gasoline down to $3, green energy on the march to make gasoline obsolete. Presidents getting stuff done, I'm for it! Maybe he's old, but FDR and LBJ were old and ugly too. Presidents getting things done, I'm for it. 🗽💙🌊🗽 Thank you, Justice O'Connor, for meeting your moment in stupendous fashion. Enjoy your rest well earned, enjoy your roses gathered in winter. ❄️🌹❄️

  290. Some of this goes back to deep flaws in our public education system. So called low tax red states are starving their public schools, therefore reducing the critical thinking of their populations and creating a desperate population of low wage workers. Therefore a population that might not make the best decisions on election day. The current tendency to book bannings just makes all of this worse. True oversight of state Departments of Education is overdue.

  294. Please remember that when Congress is in recess, the members go home to their districts. That doesn't necessarily mean they are on vacation. That means that their constituents have access to their representatives when they are in their district offices. Just saying, sometimes accuracy matters. Do you connect with your representative? If your congressional representative is NEVER in their office, never has a town hall meeting, then you can complain, and then you must vote them out. If you have never visited your representatives in their offices, shame on you. Democracy requires citizens to participate, not just complain. 🗽

  303. AR 15 is not a true hunting rifle because it is too destructive and leaves no useable meat. Washington Week on PBS shared some reporting from the Atlantic. The AR 15 is described as a man's Barbie doll, because they can buy accessories, outfits, the Barbie dream house for your AR 15. This is why our children are dying, because they can't find a better hobby. Disgusting. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue. Get it done, Congress.

  304. You can look for his other State of the Union speeches. Remember, he has been here before, and at that time, many of his important public speeches did not go well to say the least. There was one state of the union that created so much anger, the text of the speech was torn in half on camera. There was his speech to the United Nations General Assembly that drew open laughter. I hope he manages his behavior during this last term, and that the nation can get through this safely without global embarrassment and without struggling with another global illness.

Start contacting your representatives to determine their position on reproductive healthcare, green energy, manufacturing based in the USA, gun safety etc. Essential legislation needed; we know who focuses on passing real legislation.

  310. And a ridiculous blockage of immigration paperwork for Afghan allies who had been waiting literally for years to get their approvals. Because the pumpkin headed grifter hates all immigrants, so why should Afghan allies be treated any better. Every day we find more mess created by the orange marshmallow that we are still trying to clean up.
    1
  311. Yes, she did. She said it clearly in a loud voice. Sign the existing bipartisan immigration bill. That provides the power of the purse to get the technology that screens vehicles crossing the border, because that's how fentanyl is entering, not in migrants' backpacks. Cannot upgrade that screening equipment with executive orders. The power of the purse to hire additional border patrol and hearing officers and likely administrative staff to clear up the YEARS of paperwork that the pumpkin head left behind. That includes paperwork that would have gotten our Afghan allies out in a timely fashion, so that thousands were not waiting literally for years, and now they are stuck in desperation waving paperwork over their heads in the hope that a member of the military will spot them in the crowd. Many people who apply "the right way" from many countries wait several years, sometimes more than ten years, to get their paperwork processed. A nurse from the Philippines reported waiting more than ten years, and that's a shortage area for us. That's dysfunctional. Executive orders will never fix immigration. Using old immigration legislation from the 1980s will never fix immigration. Congress must do its job, the pumpkin head must step back, and the president can sign updated immigration legislation. That's the way a bill becomes a law. 🗽

  312. Repeal PLCAA, the worst law Bush ever signed, and restore liability to gun manufacturers. Then you will see their own lawyers insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. Now they are making buckets of money from this carnage with impunity. In fact, gun sales usually increase after a mass shooting. Fear sells guns. Repeal PLCAA, a law that never should have been signed. Signed in 2005, after the crime bill sunset in 2004. A perfect storm of irresponsibility, and now here we are. Stop the carnage.

  314. BTW Sandy Hook families recently resolved a successful civil case against the gun manufacturer whose gun slaughtered their children. They used some excellent research in that case. It was broadcast by CBS; it's pretty easy to find on YouTube. You will learn a lot about the disgusting gun industry in our USA. Be well, stay safe.

  315. His so called wall already has many holes created by coyotes. The wall also endangers wildlife that moves from place to place in search of food and water.
    1
  316. The solution is updated immigration legislation. Immigration legislation from the 1980s is not the answer. A guest worker program, updated staffing levels, especially hearing officers to hear asylum seekers cases quickly, a different array of resettlement centers in different locations, etc. Not Abbott performing on TV with his hair on fire. 🗽
    1
  317. The fixation with the wall is unhealthy. Now you want ground penetrating radar? You sure that border residents want to live with that technology? Are you fully aware of the impacts of that on health, on ground water, on wildlife? Increasing staffing for patrols sounds like a better idea, but increasing staffing for hearing officers to hear asylum cases is most helpful, because the individuals being sent to Chicago are not "illegals" penetrating a wall, they are asylum seekers who are protected by international law and USA laws as well. All the money we spend on walls that don't work is money that we should be spending on our public school systems nationwide. 🗽

  319.  @billbillerton6122  I need some grammar. "They" did what and have what for a long time? Please be clear if you want a response. Having said that, I'm fairly certain you want to repeat some team talking points rather than discuss meaningful immigration legislation. We are all immigrants unless you are a full blooded member of an indigenous nation. Period. Walls will not help us to get along. The Monroe Doctrine indicates that we take an interest in the Western hemisphere. So let's do that, rather than destabilizing governments and supporting creepy dictators, then thinking that we will never pay the price for that empty headed "foreign policy". All the stakeholders in an auditorium, lots of coffee and bagels, lock the doors, no one gets out without a draft of serious legislation. Canada, Latin America, Caribbean, South America, unions, business interests, ATF, state department, Homeland Security, NGOs. Lots of coffee, lots of ideas. Let's get to work. Contact your representatives ASAP. 🗽

  320. If Texas can develop some common sense gun laws, Texas gun traffickers can stop sending guns across the border to criminal gangs in Mexico and beyond. Joint briefing with Homeland Security and Mexican law enforcement confirms that most guns traced to homicides in Mexico originated from ten counties in the USA. Our flimsy gun laws are supplying the criminals, in addition to killing our own children. Abbott thought open carry, no permits, over the objections of Texas law enforcement, was a cute idea. Total chaos. And you think a wall is going to fix Abbott? The second amendment has outlived its usefulness to the nation if it cannot protect innocent people. I don't expect to hear further from you. I don't have time to teach you logic.

  321. Most thoughtful response to the "good guy with gun", the school resource officer, and the hyper security enhancements in schools. (18.00) The school resource officer can be a pathway to another type of suicide by cop. The school safety drill might not be so valuable if the so called intruder has done the drills a hundred times too. Makes so much sense when you look at it that way.

  322. Remember the Monroe Doctrine? That thing you studied in school when you weren't paying attention? This is our hemisphere. We are involved. Remember when we were in the hemisphere meddling in these countries supporting horrible dictators who were taking advantage of their people? We were told that was in our national interest to support those creeps. This is karma now. Let's handle the problem. Outdated immigration legislation from the 1980s will not do it. Congress, draft new immigration legislation already. GOP, stop voting NO so that you have an excuse to continue using immigration as an adult issue that makes your undereducated base enraged. 🗽

  323. It is not true that the USA is the only country that recognizes birthright citizenship. There are approximately 20 nations that use birthright citizenship. Birthright citizenship is protected by the Constitution, period. An executive order doesn't reverse a constitutional amendment. We don't have to live this way. Challenge everything. Do not comply in advance. The midterm elections are right around the corner in 2026. We don't have to live this way.

  324. Absolutely true. A handgun for protection in the home, I understand. I don't want it, but if you feel you need that, okay. Get training, a permit, a mandated gun safe, a mental health screening just in case, be older than 21 or 25 for that good brain development and judgement that just is not there at age 18, a waiting period because if someone needs a gun in a hurry that's a huge red flag right there. A gun is a dangerous thing, so the decision to get one should have some steps and take some time. A true hunting rifle, absolutely. I totally understand that rural areas and urban areas have different needs. The AR 15 is not a hunting rifle. It is too destructive and leaves no useable meat. Recent reporting in the Atlantic describes the AR 15 as the man's Barbie doll. There was an effective hunting rifle that was used prior to 1990 approximately. Let's use that. Because AR 15 was a very unpopular gun when it was first "modified" for sale to civilians. Sales spiked when the irresponsible gun industry targeted underage males for their advertising, calling the AR 15 "your man card". So let's go back to something that was a more responsible hunting rifle. The AR 15 should never have been available to civilians. Even the original inventor of the gun says so. No new sales of AR 15, mandated gun safes to keep the old AR 15 safely locked away from thieves, children, and the public.

Remember when McCain crafted immigration legislation and they voted it down? Do the work, GOP.

  333. His decision had nothing to do with age. It was more related to divisions in the Democratic party, probably that divide between Democrats and DixieCrats. In addition, the Vietnam War was a tragic and divisive element. The anti war movement certainly was not going to stop until that war was ended. Ultimately, George Wallace introducing his third party split the party at the Democratic convention in 1968. That's how we got stuck with Nixon.

  336. LBJ was a very effective president who championed many important pieces of legislation. He had also been a very effective lawmaker in Congress, the main reason JFK wanted him as the Vice president. Because he knew Congress and knew the process of lawmaking, he was an effective executive who knew how to support and champion legislation and get it onto his desk, so to speak. That's how experience works. LBJ could use his experience as a lawmaker to be an effective executive, understand? That's not overreach, that's getting stuff done. Be well. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

Or not accept guest workers when our economy is unable to provide jobs for USA residents, like the economic mess during Reagan and Bush Sr. We actually have a shortage of workers now, especially workers for jobs that USA residents do not want.

Disgusting pack of con artists and grifters shaking hands with known terrorists.

  342.  @michellebobier-groves7821  And the surrender agreement was negotiated without the elected Afghan govt at the table. Who does that? Was the Afghan govt perfect? Maybe not, but the elected govt must be at the table. Just one more reason the whole thing collapsed like a house of cards. Disgusting creeps, and we are still cleaning up this guy's mess years later. Watch out for these GOP lunatics who are now saying, get Ukraine to the table to negotiate with Putin. That's why Biden constantly repeats, nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine. Thank goodness. My heart breaks for the women of Afghanistan, who are still bravely protesting against all odds. Please, Afghan diaspora, do not forget your sisters. 🗽🌻🌎🌻🗽

  350. Our nation is not dystopian. There are many positives and many negatives. We need leaders who will identify the positives to amplify them and give access to more USA residents. RFK jr sees 1968 as a fork in the road because it was a fork in his road. Of course everything became dark and dystopian for him when his father was killed. Of course. He needs intensive help in dealing with that unresolved trauma, and running for president is not going to be the answer for his pain. Please get help rather than playing spoiler in a close presidential race. Please don't be responsible for allowing a dystopian figure like this felon to reenter the White House. Do not vote for this man, reach out to him and express your sympathy to the little boy who misses his dad. 💙🌊💙🌊

  353. It seems that RFK jr is running on his family name. That's part of the reason his siblings came forward to explain why they could not endorse him. If you have intense trauma around the assassinations of 1968, that should not impact voting decisions for 2024. This is a tight presidential election where every vote will count. If you remember 1968, you remember that George Wallace's third party split the vote, and that's how the country got stuck with Nixon. That's how we got dragged into Laos, Cambodia, And Watergate. Why would you risk that again by voting for a third party candidate who cannot win, but can waste just enough votes to let the felon slide back into the White House?

  356. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Rudy Giuliani was a republican mayor, and he made the housing situation in NYC much worse, making it more difficult for tenants to get their landlords to repair housing maintenance violations. The republican candidate for mayor in the recent election is a crazy guy who lives in a studio apt with 15 cats. Look it up. As the whole nation knows, and in fact the entire world, the dysfunctional GOP is not the answer to anything. The Democratic party in NYC has many many fine candidates. Unfortunately, Adams was the wrong one. In fact, Adams used to be GOP, but he switched. He will be voted out in the next election. Hopefully, he won't do too much damage before he goes. That's what our city council is for, to keep him in check.

  364. I'm fairly sure that a lot of it is in the Jan 6th committee report. Jordon was supeoned but he did not respond to the supeona. So he's basically in contempt of Congress right now, good reason to disqualify him as speaker.

  365. Black farmers have been discriminated against for decades and decades. If you didn't know that....wow....you haven't been paying attention for a very long time. Just....yikes. Also, look closely at project 2025. There is stuff in there to dismantle farm supports. Just what we need, a few more farmers going bankrupt and selling their land to developers. Yikes. Also, remember that the Farm Bill also includes the school lunch program, SNAP and WIC. So more hungry people will be even more hungry. Please please pay attention. And pass the Farm Bill already! Never mind, I'd rather let Harris/Walz with Speaker Jefferies and Majority Leader Schumer handle that essential legislation! 💙🌊💙🌊

It's time to draft a new amendment to enshrine public safety in the constitution to provide balance and context for the second amendment that is killing our children. While the ratification process is working its way through each state legislature, we pass comprehensive federal gun safety legislation that is over due. 🌊💙🌊

  373. Absolutely agree on the suicidal aspects of this problem. Even if you just look at the horrific numbers on gun owner suicides, gun owners who never became mass shooters, but the NRA helped them to have the means to complete suicide attempts, right in their hands. It's beyond tragic, and gun control laws can control this. Even PBS did an interview about the correlation between mass shootings and suicidal behavior. (Sorry, I'm a huge PBS geek.) In addition, many gun fanatics talk about mental health services merely as a deflection away from gun safety legislation, then refuse to fund mental health services in their states. What? After Uvalde, I believe I learned that Texas doesn't seem to have guidance counselors in their schools, so no wonder the Uvalde shooter was never identified and flagged while he was a student, even though acquaintances later reported that he had been abusing animals when they knew him, a well known red flag for law enforcement when looking for patterns of violence. Is the armed school safety officer supposed to be a guidance counselor? Oh wait, Uvalde schools had a full police department dedicated just to schools, and look how that worked out. Approximately ten states have already banned AR 15. What are the other states waiting for? Finally, repeal PLCAA (2005) to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on robust gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. (Sorry this was so long. This topic is so important. Thanks.) 🦋🗽🦋

Living in the past, living in an imaginary world of your own creation, nope, doesn't work, never has never will. In addition, FLA parents will not give up on Advance Placement easily, because these courses allow students to accumulate college credits for the price of a testing fee. Hundreds, thousands of dollars saved. Any family paying attention to the college tuition budget will not thank DeSantis for this nonsense. I'm thinking you have no college bound children?

  385. States with flimsy gun laws are a clear and present danger to states with stronger laws that are trying to protect their residents. The turnpike is the iron pipeline flooding cities like NYC with illegal guns from other states with loose laws that gun dealers love. Illegal guns like these are almost always directed to criminals. Chicago suffers in similar fashion from illegal gun trafficking from neighboring states. National gun control legislation is needed to prevent states conducting sabotage on the anti crime efforts of other states, so that the USA can finally end this grotesque war on itself that benefits no one besides the gun industry.

  386. Another misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment, wow. Please take a history class rather than reading from NRA promotional pamphlets or workshops sponsored by your local disorganized militia and confederate LARPers. No, gun ownership is not a natural right. The AR 15 is definitely not a natural right. Focusing on "shall not be infringed" doesn't allow you to ignore "well regulated militia". That's not the way sentences work. Also "the people" refers to a group, the society, the community, not a person or an individual, much less an adolescent shooter with an AR 15 that shredded his town. The Heller case helped muddy the waters, but Scalia's opinion is widely regarded as flawed since it breaks from established precedent. Hopefully SCOTUS will review it. Until then, enjoy your U.S. history class, maybe try constitutional law too. Really fascinating stuff.

  390.  @lyndamedley543  No new sales of AR 15, mandated gun safes for the old AR 15 so they stay locked in the basement, not stolen by thieves or walking around in the world. Gun buybacks for those who regret letting gun vendors talk them into these expensive grotesque things.

  392.  @willmont8258  Who is "they"? You don't seem to be using reliable news sources. Most gun legislation always refers to new sales going forward. But you might have too many guns already if you sound so worried. Why don't you take advantage of the next gun buy back and get some money back that the gun manufacturers conned you into spending.

It is possible to be old and ugly and even disabled, but have the experience and wisdom to pass legislation.

  409. There is a value to keeping experienced public servants who actually know how to govern. The voters are supposed to be the ones who "fire" Congressional representatives who can't do the job anymore. However, a democracy depends upon an informed citizenry. Years of starving public schools and failure to prioritize civics and accurate history instruction has denied voters the critical foundation they need to take voting responsibilities seriously. Governing is an actual job, and not everyone is good at it. Experience is a good thing. Voters decide when it's time to go.

  411. The ugly storm came in the 2000s. The sunset of the crime bill/assault weapons ban (2004), the Heller opinion (2008), and the worst of all, Bush signs PLCAA to shield gun manufacturers from liability for the damage caused by their grotesquely dangerous products. Look at the statistics and you will see when incidents start to spike. Gun manufacturers rake in profit with impunity, and since fear sells guns, they are not worried as the public becomes more and more anxious. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue, because state to state flimsy gun laws are clearly not working. Repeal PLCAA to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. Let's get to work. 💙🗽💙

  418.  @mobilusinmobili8321  Wow, angry much??? This is Texas legislation. Maybe check with Texas if you want a full text of their legislation. The "making Texas a gun sanctuary state" nonsense happened around Sept 2021. Abbott wasn't shy about signing those bills, turned it into a big photo op so I'm surprised you missed it. Not sure when Texas passes their state budget, but the reduced mental health funding was included in their budget probably fiscal year 21-22? When the Uvalde tragedy occurred, May 2022, the cuts in Texas mental health funding were mentioned frequently in all the coverage. Again, I'm surprised you missed it. The federal gun safety legislation that Senator Murphy passed in the aftermath of Uvalde has some mental health services in it. Federal govt trying to help when Texas doesn't want to bother? You're welcome.

  420. It is important to get this SCOTUS amendment drafted and get the conversation started. Ratification requires 38 states, not easy but not impossible. Let's get the process started; Speaker Jefferies is on the horizon!! We are very overdue for new amendments to our Constitution. The amendment that granted voting rights to 18 year olds was ratified in approximately four months. Let's get this done! Then we can move on to other needed amendments, especially an amendment that enshrines a right to public safety in the Constitution, as a much needed balance to the often misinterpreted second amendment. And let's take another look at the ERA as a way of protecting all of a woman's human rights, especially reproductive healthcare. Go President Biden go! Go Constitution go! 💙🌊💙🌊

  423. Immigration legislation is absolutely the responsibility of the Congress. That's why Abbott's attempt to interfere as a governor is so problematic. He receives funds from the INS already as a border state for immigrant resettlement. Not sure what he is doing with those funds. Abbott is doing this for media attention, and because he doesn't know how to govern. His gun policy points to his lack of skills as well. Congress absolutely has to do their job. Even John McCain crafted immigration legislation, and the GOP voted it down. Updated immigration legislation now! This is not the 1980s. 🗽

  433. These guys were sprayed with bear spray and other chemicals for hours. The exertion of the hand to hand medieval combat was extreme. Many officers received head injuries, and the after effects of severe concussions are quite dangerous. So although that particular officer died the following day, there is no question that his death was related to the combat of Jan 6th. Doctors who were involved in his case made that medical determination. Do you have more familiarity with his case? Would you like to compare your medical degree with that of the attending physician? Did you examine the patient? Be respectful of the pain this law enforcement officer suffered, and the pain of his family after his passing.

  434. Where did they get this gun safety focus group from? No one looked like they even wanted to be there. They said they wanted something to be done, then they said, better off if we don't do anything. What? And they have children. Do you care or not? Have you thought about gun safety or not? CBS, what were you thinking? This bunch just made your producers look incompetent. The second amendment has outlived its usefulness to the nation. I am beyond frustrated with the constant middle school arguments about "shall not be infringed" vs "well regulated". And this SCOTUS has no ability to interpret the Constitution beyond forcing us to live in the 1700s. Okay, muskets for all, I'm for it. Originalism is not the only school of constitutional interpretation, it's not even the best one. It's time to draft a new amendment to enshrine public safety in the constitution. The process of ratification will compel every state legislature to discuss gun safety laws and keep the issue front of mind. Instead of the disgusting thing we do now: thoughts and prayers, forget about it and do nothing until the next tragedy, rinse and repeat.

That's a big part of the reason that so many allies got stuck in Afghanistan because no one ever worked on their paperwork for years, then everyone was looking at a flood of everything during evacuation. That's not how a government agency should work. Same thing happened in the Department of Education with student loans. That's why billions in student loan forgiveness is starting to happen for people with paperwork that was ignored for years. Someone thought it would be fun to elect a con artist as president, and millions of voters fell for it. Vote carefully. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  440. Actually, lack of affordable childcare is an "us" problem, a societal issue. Affordable childcare increases the size of the workforce, and that benefits business and our economy. More importantly, quality childcare with quality early childhood educators who have been trained in their field provide early childhood education, not just babysitting. Early childhood education helps the entire society, because the most advantageous opportunity for learning is ages 0 thru 5. Early childhood education is the only way to maximize that extremely short window of opportunity. As a democracy, we must have informed citizens and voters who are adept at critical thinking. It's long overdue for the USA to concentrate on early childhood education and our faltering public school systems nationwide.
