Why did you do it? #Parkland Close up of defendant Nikol...
Life in prison with no chance of parole. The jury has recommended a sentence of life without the possibility of parole on initial counts against Parkland massacre gunman Nikolas Cruz. Their recommendation is still being read.
Nikolas Cruz is sitting with his head down, showing no emotion, as the jury’s recommendation is read in court.
Some parents of Parkland shooting victims are crying in the courtroom as others hold each other's hands. Can you imagine what they are feeling? Sending support to all especially @fred_guttenberg who transformed his family’s tragedy into an ongoing fight for sensible gun reform.
Taxpayers will pay for his imprisonment for life.

I hate to say this but turn on @andersoncooper - he has the full cut of Nancy Pelosi’s daughter’s documentary showing what members of Congress were doing in real time when their place of work was attacked by Trump’s cult. So much for documenting a “peaceful transfer of power.”
A few points: 1. Nancy Pelosi was ready to punch out Donald if he came to the Capitol (“And I’ll be there with you.” 2. I bet Stephen Miller aka #SatansSnotRag wrote Trump’s Ellipsis speech. (“We will never give in. We will not concede.” Pelosi is a Queen.
Very fine people are these violent Trump morons, with their fucking language and threats. All at the direction of the president”- Nancy Pelosi notes on the phone.Chuck and Nancy negotiating with the Secretary of the Army and the Attorney General to do something to stop the riot.

The 1/6 committee is adjourned. Nine “aye” votes to subpoena Trump’s testimony. No nays. What a time to be alive.
Someday, if history is still taught, this moment will be part of the curriculum.
Why didn’t the 1/6 Select committee subpoena Pence?

Aaron Judge hits 61st home run. All rise! Here comes the judge!! @Yankees thanks for an incredible season!!
61 years after Roger Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961, comes Aaron Judge hitting 61 home runs. There must be something to the study of numbers here, no?
You can tell from watching him showing grace under pressure, that Aaron Judge waited for his pitch to make history. He tipped his helmet to his mom in the stands. That made me tear up. nbcnews.com/news/sports/ju…

Tish James knows the Trump family needs to be put on trial for fraud. She spent three years looking into how Donald cooks his books. axios.com/trump-new-york…
Among other allegations, the suit claims that the former president's Florida estate and golf resort, Mar-a-Lago, was valued as high as $739 million, but should have been valued at around one-tenth that amount, at $75 million. abcn.ws/3DIBoqe
“We found that Mr, Trump, his children, and the corporation used more than 200 false asset valuations over a ten year period," James said at a press conference announcing the charges.

There are many tragedies associated with the former guy refusing to take #COVID seriously, even though he himself had it. One thing we don’t talk much about is the fact that the pandemic robbed ten million children of their caregivers. That is an ongoing trauma.
“In a recent poll exploring which of fifteen issues voters feel are most important ahead of the midterm elections, the coronavirus ranked fifteenth. Even among Americans who identify” newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…
Owing to a lack of congressional funding and a desire to move past the “acute emergency phase,” the Biden Administration is taking a less central role in managing the pandemic. It paused a program that sent out free coronavirus tests, and soon it will stop paying for vaccines.
