Thanks, Susan, for posting this. As a Philly girl, I was glad to see it! I joke with people about Philly folks booing Santa and taking apart the Love robot that traveled the world, so it's not surprising that they would take the regime on actively. Our protest for NO KINGS was huge, stretching from Love Park to the Art Museum, with the space filled in between. I foresee Philadelphians and residents of surrounding suburbs (some of them) coming out in droves. :)

Hi Agent#99, you're welcome. I was born in Philadelphia but haven't been back in years. Glad to hear the good news. Here's another Krasner interview, from Meidas+:

The guy really has a spine -- I find him so refreshing.

Read your substack Lev about your daughter and I am so very sorry this happened to you and your daughter and family! Thanks for all you do! Agree with your sentiments about gun control snd that Trump is doing nothing about this!! Yes, common sense that we need this control and mental health services!

Retired law enforcement here. Thank you both! My question is by the way you are talking are you not seeing that this looks like a forced chaos by POTUS? I believe this was staged. He has no deference to life. I just started reading Mary’s book and it put a whole spin on the way I think and given he had a failed shooting to himself that backfired. I don’t know if you guys looked into this but their intentions for a very long time between him and the state of Missouri and then our councilwoman got killed there. He has a big issue with diversity and he was trying to force them to cut back and have these people kicked out. There was huge huge tensions with this state, and he did not like the fact that they were pushing him back that they were not accommodating him, and this is his method of operation and you can’t deny the fact that he had a hand in this and I’m sorry they’re all corrupt And for them to wait to respond as if they are the heroes about how horrible this was when he even caused what happened to Hortman. I feel really strongly about this and maybe I know a little too much that I shouldn’t know, but I really believe all that they found was orchestrated by him. It was too thorough. I don’t think we’re right by blaming it on mental health and just so happens that he had to put Donald Trump‘s name in there because then everybody will think That he had nothing to do with it. This is so classic of Donald Trump and I wish I had a chance to talk to Mary about that because a few other people were thinking the same thing but when I posted something I got trolled and threatened, and I had to shut down my accounts. You guys are great, and I can tell you that the minute this happened I was distraught, but I had to look into it and what you will find is a long long history of bad blood between Trump, well everybody and Trump, and the state of Missouri. It is so classic of him and his cult to cover, and I don’t think people are barking up the Right tree. I think they’re totally protecting him. I believe he absolutely orchestrated this

If you want to get all influencers working together, get them behind Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker ASAP. They have the audience to build our audience, but we have to be organized in helping them repeating talking points teaching everyone the way Trump did it. Say it often enough the same way and people will believe it. Lev you do fantastic work. Somehow, I watch you at least three hours a day. It appears Newsom and Pritzker are ready to go the sooner the better. The end of this year will be too late to get the Democrats act together. Unfortunately. Democrats are completely disorganized. Everyone’s on their own. I’ve known Harry Reid for 40 years. He know how to get things done. There is no leadership even close to the skills that Harry had. We’ve got to get behind some governors . Senators will not be elected. When I run for lieutenant governor in 2006 I expected help from the party. None of that happened welcome and you’re on your own. I did have limited meetings with Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Harry Reid, of course Al Gore, Paul, Begala, and. James Carville. None of them could even express a nationwide plan. It was 535 individual races. I also

think shows. should be more specific if my interest is law I should tune in a show that stays on the law. If my interest is international, I should be a tune into an international show. Too many of our shows are all the same people trying to repeat the same stories that have been played our after hour for the whole day God forbid you’re curious about Gaza look for the story once a week.

Even for hunting, no one really uses an AR15 with 10 plus rounds. I know a couple hunters who swear that it can be a useful weapon for hunting wild boar, when they are really large. Given that in the Middle Ages, those things killed professional hunters on horses, I can accept that. Still, they don’t need more than 3 rounds.

My father and uncles hunted moose and bears with bolt action rifles. Many hunt these animals with a bow, even grizzly bears. Semi auto weapons are primarily useful for sport shooting. So fine: if you own one, it has to stay in a locked case in transit between your home and your gun club or range.

A gun at home needs to be in a safe or other tamper proof locked area. (Not something that can be busted open by a 16 year old )…

I couldn’t read or listen to this yesterday. I too, had my life turned upside down from a school shooting. La Loche, Saskatchewan. Sadly , it tore everyone apart in the service providers, and the families, the school teachers, as everyone began blaming each other and other service workers for “you should have somehow stopped this before it happened”… God bless you all for being the voice for so many, for so much.

I really dont think they would change their votes even if it was one of theirs. RepublicSCAMS are greedy cowards and it's been proven time and again.

I heard, listening to Jay Smart, a Ukrainian journalist, that Putin will slow down the Russian internet so it interferes with the streaming- does it to control information, banking, communications etc . Who knows - Trump could be messing with control of the internet like Putin does ?🥺
