The assailant, who is still at large, was identified as 57-year-old Vance Boelter by the state's public safety commissioner.

How is this not bigger news?

    How convenient. House is a 67-67 D and R. State Senate 34 D 33 R. Not political at all this assassination…

      Even the article explicitly says this is politically motivated, this isn’t being presented as random

        it was kinda obvious since it was targeting democrats only, and abortion providers.
