NBC: Baby boy killed during attempted arrest in Mississippi
A baby boy died from injuries he suffered when Mississippi police gunned down his murder suspect father, authorities said Tuesday.
The months-old child was traveling with his father, Eric Derell Smith, 30, who had been wanted in connection with a double-homicide investigation in Louisiana, officials said.
...
Biloxi police learned that Smith had crossed into Mississippi on Interstate 10, and, at mile marker 40, "the suspect drove into the grass median and became stuck" at about 3 p.m., according to De Back's statement.
"As the suspect exited the vehicle, shots were fired. Medical attention was given to the suspect but he died as a result of injuries sustained," De Back said. "The juvenile did receive injuries and was taken to a local medical facility for treatment."

In May 2005, it never occurred to anyone that the Dems would take back the House and Senate in 2006

Are the people who attack Congressional Democrats for trying to work with Republicans
the same people who insist that Democrats need to reach out to Trump voters?
If so, I'm confused.
If it's crazy for Congressional Democrats to reach out to Congressional Republicans because it's a waste of time, why do they think we'll be any more successful convincing the people who keep voting them in to office to change? They're all swimming in the same swamp, as far as I'm concerned. I'm fine with leaving them there.
Now, if they want to crawl out of the swamp and come and dip their toes into our pool, cool. But It's up to them.
