Teddy Roosevelt got shot in the chest and finished a 90-minute speech. Reagan got shot and joked, "Honey, I forgot to duck." Truman survived an attack and kept his Arlington schedule. None of them blamed their critics. None of them built a ballroom.

TRUMP WANTED TO PUT LIZ CHENEY IN FRONT OF A FIRING SQUAD 🤷 THEY MADE FUN OF PAUL PELOSI BEING ATTACKED BY A GUY WITH A HAMMER🤷 THEY MOCKED THAT ROB REINER WAS MURDERED BY HIS SON🤷 TRUMP CELEBRATED WHEN ROBERT MUELLER DIED 🤷 BUT THEY CALL US HATEFULL 🙄

Never forget what happened on June 14, 2025. Early that morning, a gunman named Vance Luther Boelter (57) disguised himself as a police officer — complete with a silicone mask, wig, and a vehicle made to look like a squad car. He went to the home of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, in Brooklyn Park. He killed Melissa Hortman (55) and her husband Mark Hortman (58) inside their home. Their golden retriever, Gilbert, was also shot and so badly wounded that he had to be euthanized. In the same targeted attack that night, Boelter also shot Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette at their nearby home (both survived). Hours after the murders, Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah posted on X: “Nightmare on Walz Street” (mocking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz) “This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way” He later deleted the posts after widespread backlash. On June 27, the bodies of Melissa and Mark Hortman lay in state at the Minnesota Capitol — accompanied by a photo of their dog Gilbert. It was a somber local memorial. Nationally, there was no half-staff flag order on federal buildings and no unified moment of mourning on the scale we’ve seen for others. This wasn’t just a “bad joke.” It was a U.S. Senator publicly mocking the assassination of a fellow elected official, her husband, and their family dog. Political differences are normal. But when we reach the point of laughing at political assassinations, we have gone somewhere very dark. We can disagree on policy. We should never lose our basic humanity.

A Reuters investigation found a broader-than-previously known Trump administration effort to expand federal control over elections, using investigations, raids and demands for access to voting systems across at least eight states reut.rs/4eKWxSX @specialreports

We congratulate the Central Board of Jewish Communities in Greece and the Jewish Community of Athens on the publication of the 100th issue of Alef, a milestone marking more than two decades of continuous work and engagement. Since its launch in 2004, Alef has served as an important voice of Jewish life in Greece, documenting the history, identity and developments of the community, while also reflecting broader Jewish and Israeli affairs. Through articles, interviews and cultural contributions, the magazine has played a key role in strengthening communal identity and public understanding. This anniversary highlights the importance of sustained, high-quality Jewish media as a platform for dialogue, memory and continuity. We commend all those who have contributed to Alef over the years and encourage the continuation of this valuable work!

@eurojewcong @MARQUEMYWORD This is one grave of a Member of the Jewish Brigades La Brigata Ebraica who took part in liberating Italian soil during WWII. We owe them a debt of gratitude. Down with communists/ socialists back shirts brown shirts/ red shirts same shit!!!!

For the first time in American history, the DOJ has demanded confidential voter information from all 50 states and is compiling that information into a single record system. That's unsafe and illegal, so we're fighting back. citizensforethics.org/legal-action/l…

Iranian dissidents put up an exhibition in Paris, displaying hundreds of faces of those executed by the Islamist Regime… The exhibit also reminded the French that it was the French government that imposed the Ayatollah on the Iranian people. 🎥 “Government of Executions”!

🚨 Florida voters are being denied any say on the new electoral maps. Ron DeSantis knows they won’t go for it, which is why he’s bypassing them — just like they did in Texas. This is actually ILLEGAL. In California and Virginia, voters got to decide. #StopIllegalFloridaMaps

Nothing says Make America Healthy Again like appointing a tobacco executive to be a leader at the CDC

I’m old enough to remember all the times Donald Trump joked about Paul Pelosi being attacked by a man with a hammer.

@EdroSlice @Laurieluvsmolly @FLOTUS Slice of a low information personality.

@Laurieluvsmolly @FLOTUS You should cry about it. God forbid fighting fire with fire. It's cool keep dodging accountability, that way your side will never win another election. 340 million Americans agree, political violence is from leftist.

Kimmel’s hateful and violent rhetoric is intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family isn’t comedy- his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn’t have the opportunity to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward, Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough.  It is time for ABC to take a stand.  How many times will ABC’s leadership enable Kimmel’s atrocious behavior at the expense of our community.

@Laurieluvsmolly @FLOTUS

@AF2831008 @Laurieluvsmolly I would argue the opposite. Jimmy is one of the best comedic talents. Disgusting is someone else, the one who’s afraid of the talented people.

@Laurieluvsmolly Kimmel is Disgusting and should have been fired years ago. x.com/i/status/93637…

I don't know who advises her, but the only purpose of her comments about Jimmy Kimmel just reminded all of us of the ugly, hateful, racist, misogynistic insults her husband has made over and over. Thanks to @MELANIATRUMP and her aides for reminding us of those remarks and that he wanted to annihilate an entire civilization.

@FLOTUS Here are 100’s and 100’s of your husband’s Twitter insults and hate, just from his first term. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
