Summary

Tonight, we’re covering the horrific breaking news out of Minneapolis, where a shooting at a Catholic school has left a community devastated. Reports now confirm that the shooter was transgender, a detail already being weaponized in public discourse. The real question is: will this tragedy finally move lawmakers toward common-sense gun legislation, or will it be used by MAGA voices to fuel more division and hate? We’ll discuss what comes next, and what can be done to prevent these kinds of heartbreaking tragedies in the future. Our thoughts tonight are with the victims, their families, and the entire Minneapolis community. This episode is sponsored by the Freedom from Religion Foundation. Don’t let your rights be rewritten.
