Marjorie Taylor Greene says Democrats 'already started' killing Republicans
Taking aim at President Joe Biden, who has upped his attacks on "MAGA" Republicans in recent weeks, Greene said the commander in chief “has declared every freedom-loving American an enemy of the state.” She added: "But under Republicans, we will take back our country from the communists who have stolen it and want us to disappear."
This is not a new idea.

Putin warns of more attacks after deadly Russian strikes rock Kyiv, Lviv and other Ukrainian cities
Moscow fired at least 84 cruise missiles toward Ukraine on Monday, the Ukrainian military said, 43 of which were neutralized by missile defense systems. Twenty-four Russian attack drones were also used in the salvo, 13 of which were destroyed.
It comes two days after an [explosion] damaged a crucial bridge to Crimea and dealt a strategic blow to the Kremlin. A wounded Vladimir Putin, who has also seen weeks of Russian losses on the battlefield, had been under pressure to respond with force following the explosion, which Putin on Sunday blamed on Kyiv and described as an act of terror.

Former Nevada “Sundown Town” stands by Siren amid Reckoning
Efforts to silence a century-old siren that blares every night in Minden, Nevada, are sparking debates over how to confront the region's history of racism and violence

Why some say this Nevada town siren is a racist relic
There is disagreement in the small town of 3,500, at the base of the Sierra Nevada range, over what the 100-year-old siren means.
Some town officials say it's a tribute to Minden's volunteer fire department. Some residents say they think of it as a town dinner bell.
But others hear an echo from decades ago when, they say, the siren served as a warning for Native Americans to leave before sundown.

Siren in northern Nevada town echoes racist past, every day
In Douglas County, where both towns are located, the sundown ordinance took aim at Native Americans, requiring them to leave town by 6:30 p.m. — a half-hour after a town siren sounded each night.
The county’s ordinance stayed on the books until it was repealed in 1974.
The siren, however, has continued sounding at noon and 6 p.m. nearly every day since.
