Second '100 days' working out much like the first, but with a Vance-proof Pope, a bigly white elephant plane, a few more legal push backs and way more grifting.

Surely if people’s children are being treated like this they will protest about the ICE raids, especially if they are left with no child care

My first thought was how could anyone tell they were imposters ?

Awful news Sad

Spandauer · 14/06/2025 16:31

I have just read that Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark have died.

Senator Hoffman and wife, Yvette are out of surgery after being shot multiple times.

Who would trust any law enforcement officer now?

I have thought this since this nightmare started. The quota numbers have been upped to 5,000 a day or something. Thanks to that evil man Stephen Miller

This is every aggressor, domestic violence abuser, criminal, those out to seek revenge...it's their wet dream. Cobble together some sort of 'uniform' stick a mask on...and attack

How utterly utterly dreadful that two people have died like this. MAGA morons have blood on their hands

Governor Walz says State Senator John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, were also shot multiple times. The Hoffmans are out of surgery.

Doctors are "cautiously optimistic that they will improve," according to another official.

Oh, the 'call is coming from inside the house' alright.

Oh my god.

I really hoped the whole story wasn't true.

And now they've died?

Dear god.

PerkingFaintly · 14/06/2025 16:57

Oh please god the bit about them having died is untrue.

PerkingFaintly · 14/06/2025 17:01

Sorry, confused in my shock at this, and by the similar names.

So it's two separate shooting attacks.

Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman has been killed, as has her husband.

Minnesota Senator John Hoffman has been shot multiple times and injured, as has his wife, and they are the ones who have just come out of surgery and may yet survive.

Minnesota state lawmakers: Melissa Hortman killed and John Hoffman injured in targeted shootings

Hortman's husband was also killed and Hoffman's wife injured in what Governor Tim Walz called "targeted political violence".

They haven’t caught the gunman yet, “shelter in place” order over a wide area 😢 telling people not to open their doors

Police officers turning up at the house let the gunman get away
but captured the car

PickAChew · 14/06/2025 17:14

This is horrific. These bastards are feeling emboldened.

Wait. It was someone dressed as a cop, driving a fully equipped vehicle that was identical to a real police vehicle including emergency lights…but somehow this was a police impersonator? Pull my other fucking leg, chief.

I'm with ⬆️

I stand corrected. Trump said that such horrific violence will not be tolerated.

PickAChew · 14/06/2025 18:15

Well, Trump's press officer said that he said that...

He'll be a bit occupied today but it'll be Biden's fault by diaper-change time tonight.

He'll be pissed the Dems have taken the shine off his big day by getting themselves shot.
