Tocqueville predicted that the United States of America couldn't last, *unless* there were certain apolitical sanctuaries that bound Americans together across deep disagreements - commerce, higher education, philanthropy, sports.

. . . commerce, higher education, philanthropy, sports. Once those spheres are also politicized, it's the beginning of the end.

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible. In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

- Gavin Newsom

-

We should all feel a deep sense of grief and outrage at the terrible violence that took place in Utah today. Charlie Kirk's murder is sick and reprehensible, and our thoughts are with his family, children, and loved ones.

- Governor Gavin Newsom [California]

-

The attack on Charlie Kirk is appalling and unacceptable. Political violence has no place in a free society. No one should have to experience nor witness such trauma.

My thoughts are with Charlie and his family.

- Jennifer Siebel Newsom

My Democratic colleagues and I just left the state of Texas to break quorum and stop Trump’s redistricting power grab.

Trump is trying to rig the midterm elections right before our eyes. But first he’ll have to come through us.

It’s time to fight back.

This is the rot at the core of our broken political system.

- James Talarico, Texas State Representative (D)

-

Donald Trump is trying to rig the next election.

He told Republicans to redraw the political maps in Texas to give himself 5 more seats and protect his majority in Congress.
