NEW: Thanks to an agreement with California, the City of Artesia is now required to quickly build 1,000+ homes for moderate and low-income Californians on an expedited timeline. Affordable housing is something leaders at all levels of government must pitch in toward.
If you have a screenshot of a US politician or leader blaming the left, or declaring some war, or anything before we knew who the shooter was, please post in the comments. We will need to keep these
The New Mexico Department of Health has issued a standing order that expands access to updated COVID-19 vaccines by allowing healthcare providers and pharmacists to vaccinate anyone six months and older without requiring individual prescriptions. You can get a copy here:
There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
More of this.
The latest: At least 3 teenagers, including a suspected shooter, were in critical condition Wednesday at a Denver-area hospital following a shooting at Evergreen High School. It’s not clear whether the suspected shooter was struck by police or shot themself, Jeffco sheriff’s office said.
The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.
Before knowing all the facts, voices on the right are now exploiting the tragic death of Charlie Kirk & calling for all-out war on the left. This is sad, but not surprising, at a time when we should all be denouncing political violence. They were not so upset when Minn. Democrats were assassinated.
My thoughts go out to the people of Richmond Hill, Ontario and I hope and pray the injured children will make a fast and full recovery. www.insauga.com/11-kids-inju...
I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.
The birthday book is clear: there was a cabal of rich, powerful people (mostly men) whose fondest memories with Jeffrey Epstein involved trafficking young girls for sex—trading them like baseball cards—and one of them is the current American president. You’re cool with this or you’re not. That’s it.
🇺🇦🇪🇺 Ukraine has received another tranche of EU macro-financial assistance – €1 billion under the ERA Loans programme. ❗️This tranche was financed from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets.

The Justice Department is compiling the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected. They claim their goal is to prove that “troves of undocumented immigrants have voted illegally.” That’s not the real objective.
Federal agents detained a man who was in a car with his wife and two children on Monday night in D.C. The man said he didn't know why he had been pulled over.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
PSA: Please remember to wear a well-fitting mask when you’re at the pharmacy getting vaccinated (or are there for any other reason). I really appreciate anyone taking a step to protect themselves by getting vaccinated, but you put yourself at unnecessary risk if you don’t wear a mask while doing so.

A victim of convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has revealed how a group of survivors is compiling a client list of their own.

That guy didn't have his gait.
They’ve put cars blocking the view, one camera was let in to film the proof of his existence. I’m not into conspiracies, but this is a weird behavior, especially for DJT, and especially since he wasn’t seen since Tuesday.
🇫🇷🇩🇪☢️ France and Germany have agreed to begin a “strategic dialogue” on how France’s nuclear arsenal could contribute to Europe’s security, breaking a decades-old taboo. France is the EU’s only nuclear power, but its doctrine on defending European interests remains vague.
No doubt about that...
Right. Like that’s something that happened to them, and not something their creepy polluting industry did.

I won't be intimidated. None of us should be.
They are sending soldiers into cities to prepare to intimidate people at the polls next year. They gerrymander because they can’t win on policy. They intimidate because even gerrymandering won’t work at this point.

Well said. Heartbreaking because the majority of the U.S. population want democracy, not this gawdy, cruel, inept, orange clown show.
At age 84, living in a former colony, I've seen the end of two Empires. Great Britain became much lesser Britain & we're now at end of the greatness of the USA, that worked via global leadership as a democracy & embraced the generosity & influence (with resultant economic benefit) of soft power.
"For the fourth special election in a row, Iowa voted for change,” said Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart. “Catelin Drey will listen to the people, not the powerful, get our economy growing, and bring down costs for families." With Drey’s win, GOP loses its super majority in the Iowa Senate.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
🇺🇦 Zelensky: Now the Russians, unfortunately, are giving negative signals about the meetings and further development of events. The strikes on our cities and villages continue. Every day new victims. The Russians will only consider strong pressure in response to all this.

💥 The Russians mined a bridge in the Belgorod region, piling TM-62M anti-tank mines under the structure. Ukrainian drone operators decided it was worth helping the Russians carry out their plan. The bridge exploded with festive fireworks.
Humanity A system that rips fathers from their families in immigration court is not justice; it’s cruelty. People can only take so much before heartbreak turns into resistance.
That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washington’s? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.
Proud to join Denmark Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social and Ambassador Sørensen to sign a new partnership between California and Denmark. Our message to the rest of the world is clear: California is a stable, reliable partner — no matter who's in the White House.
This 👇🏾 “Why do they need masks? They’re federal officials, they’re paid by the taxpayers. They should be doing their jobs in a way that’s lawful and constitutional, and that’s part of the job.” DC Mayor Bowser questions why so many federal officers in the capital continue to cover their faces.
As Donald Trump attempts to create chaos that distracts from his problems, we’ll call it out for what it is. Trump and Republicans are trying to distract from the pain they’re causing — from tariffs raising the prices of goods to stripping away healthcare and food from millions.

Newsom: We can’t do things the way we’ve done. Let’s disabuse ourselves of that. The Democratic Party needs to assert itself. We need to be strong again. Strength matters. People want conviction. They want character. They want a sense of intention and purpose…
Some call us shortsighted if we focus on retaking Congress in the midterms rather than on what comes next. No! That’s like calling shortsighted those on the Titanic who focused on avoiding the iceberg rather than on the rest of the voyage. There’s no “rest of the voyage” if we hit the damn iceberg!
