Just spoke to a witness who was in the gym and heard one gunshot and saw one person down in the gym itself, followed by more shots. The gym cleared out; people were running from the scene with their arms raised as police yelled to clear out.

Abdul El-Sayed:
I will likely swear on a Quran. Which Quran, we're not sure.
Thomas Jefferson had a copy of the Quran. So when Keith Ellison was sworn in to Congress, he swore on that copy.
There's also the first Quran in the state of Michigan. The University of Michigan holds it. It's very, very old, and that might be the choice.
So I don't know, but I'll swear on the Quran.

In 2022, Pope Francis wrote this letter to a transgender Catholic named Alessia Nobile.
“In the eyes of God, we are all His children, and that is what counts!” Francis wrote, addressing Nobile as “Dear sister.”
“We have a Father who loves us, who is close [to us] with compassion and tenderness. To everyone, no one excluded. This is precisely God’s style: closeness, compassion, tenderness.”
Nobile was part of a group that had lunch with Pope Leo XIV last year.
A) This is incorrect. Every stand alone measure defending women's sports and spaces passed, including in CO and WA. One amendment (primarily focused on abortion but also protecting kids from trans procedures) failed in Missouri.
B) His use of the phrase "anti-trans" to describe these measures only emboldens his opponents fighting for women and kids

Jim Jordan spoke on the phone with Donald Trump during the January 6 attacks and to this day he has never revealed to the public what they said to each other.
He defied a congressional subpoena to conceal the contents of that conversation from the American people.

51 years since the Edmund Fitzgerald and her crew were lost on Lake Superior.
Every year the Split Rock Lighthouse shines to honor the 29 crew members whose lives were lost and their families who live on in Minnesota and beyond.
Surprise surprise, pitchfork made a list of “what is indie rock” according to people who still think being an ironic 2010s hipster is cool
This Pitchfork list of the "Best Indie Rock Ever" is like a centrist Dem's idea of progressive politics.
No Pixies
No Husker Du
No Fugazi
No Dischord records at all!
No Drive Like Jehu
No Slint
And Pavement at Number 1? Barf. (They chose the wrong Les Savy Fav record at 99.)

When the last several Harry Potter books were released, we had midnight book launches attended by millions. Children, in some cases very young, finished these 700 & 800 page books in a single day. And now people are telling me I made it up, that this couldn’t ever have happened.
