Louisville Murder Weapon Can Be Resold

Craig Greenberg, the mayor of Louisville, addressed the press on Tuesday and discussed the latest mass shooting in the U.S. which killed 5 people at a bank in his city. Greenberg struck a frustrated and angry tone as he sounded off on the lack of firearm restrictions which he argued allowed for a gunman to use an AR-15 to kill 5 people and wound 8 in just one minute.

“The laws we have now are enabling violence and murder,” Greenberg said as he demanded action. The mayor also railed against state laws that will allow for the murder weapon to be resold and put back on the streets.

Let’s bring back the Black Panthers, and sit back and watch how fast they ban AR-15s. - Ty Webb tweet

Trump Caught In Another Lie. Yawn.

Former President Trump’s claim to a Fox News anchor that New York court employees were “crying” and apologizing for his arraignment on felony charges is “absolute BS” and doesn’t remotely resemble what took place, a law enforcement source familiar with the details of what transpired that day told Yahoo News.

“Zero,” said the source when asked how much truth there was to Trump’s colorful account. “There were zero people crying. There were zero people saying ‘I’m sorry.’”

Trump was right, I was crying when he got arrested.

 I cried laughing.  - MayoIsSpicyy tweet

Bragg sues Jim Jordan over ‘campaign to intimidate and attack’

Bragg sues Jim Jordan over ‘campaign to intimidate and attack’

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) sued House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) Tuesday, calling his investigation into Bragg’s prosecution of former President Trump a “transparent campaign to intimidate and attack” his office’s work.

What Gym Jordan is doing is clearly obstruction of justice. He’s become this cocky because he didn’t get locked up for his role in the Jan 6 insurrection. That’s what impunity does. It empowers career criminals. Ask Trump. - LebegerDavid tweet

My Beautiful Florida Has Been Ruined By Republicans From Jeb Bush to Ron DeSantis. Before That It Was A Great State.

The Federal Reserve's moves to make banking smoother and more accessible are drawing political attacks from two likely 2024 presidential candidates, who allege that the central bank wants to surveil Americans' finances, take away their guns or control how much gas they put in their cars.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has argued recently that the Fed would use a digital currency "to impose an ESG agenda," referencing policies geared toward environmental, social and governance goals.
