Nancy Shileny

This falls squarely on CNN. Everyone here saw exactly what was going to happen. Instead they put a sexual abuse victim in harm’s way for views. This was a choice to platform lies about the election & Jan 6th w/ no plan but to have their moderator interrupted without consequence.

CNN should be ashamed of themselves. They have lost total control of this “town hall” to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim. The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.

"I believe prayer can change lives. I believe prayer can change the world. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we are unwilling to solve ourselves." Powerful speech by a young state rep in Texas, confronting a bill to further LOOSEN gun laws there. Please listen. Worth your time.

Are you as disgusted as me? CNN is working hard to normalize white supremacy... 'Irresponsible' CNN accused of packing Trump town hall with 400 'sympathetic' voters rawstory.com/cnn-town-hall/

“Do you believe they should allow white nationalists in the military?” Sen. Tuberville: “Well, they call them that. I call them Americans.” Meanwhile Tuberville holds up the promotion of some 200 senior military officers. Other Republicans? Crickets. wbhm.org/2023/tubervill…

Call this town hall what it is: a CNN sponsored Trump 2024 fundraiser. Disgraceful.

BREAKING: Republican Liz Cheney releases a BRUTAL attack ad against Donald Trump, calling him a "a risk America can never take again" in a video that is sure to infuriate the disgraced former president. She points out that he is the "only president in American history" to refuse the "peaceful transition of power" and he "betrayed millions of Americans" by spreading the Big Lie after Joe Biden defeated him in 2020. He watched on television as his Capitol insurrection unfolded and refused to take action to call off his supporters. "There has never been a greater dereliction of duty by any president," says Cheney. Retweet if you think that she absolutely nailed it!

@susie_dent In other words, Trump supporters

Word of the day is ‘sequacity’ (17th century): blind subservience, a lack of independent thought, and a readiness to follow someone no matter what they do or say.

Thoughts and prayers

Don’t believe the @GOP when they claim their priority is mental health. Last year, California chose to invest $4.7 billion in our Master Plan for Kids’ Mental Health. Here’s what the Republicans in Congress did:

Nearly 200 mass shootings in the U.S. this year, a record pace. We are in the midst of an actual crime wave and one political party is making it easier to get and openly carry guns, while boastfully eliminating the need for permits or training. This is being soft on crime.

A 5-year-old died today because @tedcruz continues to choose killers over kids.

Trump is running for reelection, despite the explicit language of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits anyone who has held public office and who has engaged in insurrection against the United States from ever again serving in office. He should be disqualified. It’s that simple.

Republicans' two marquee policies, "pro-life" on abortion & pro-gun, resulting in a constraint stream of deaths are in direct conflict. You can't be pro-gun and pro-life especially if you reject basic safety laws, permits & mandatory training. Every voter needs to hear this.

The U.S. doesn't suffer from a higher incidence of mental illness than other countries. What we do have is nearly half the privately-owned guns in the world, despite having just 4 percent of the world's population. You have to be willfully ignorant to deny this as a big part of the explanation for why America has a dramatically higher number of gun deaths and incidents.

Over 10X the number of Americans who died on 9/11 are killed every year in preventable gun deaths. This doesn’t happen in other countries. They have the same rates of mental illnesses that we do. The difference is guns. We are living in a dark vision imposed on us by a radical

Remember the Texas shooter didn't act alone. He was assisted by 50 Senators, 210 House members, and the NRA.
