I am not sure if he is trolling but not one bit of this is funny.
The Texas senator should be celebrated as a hero for compromising (I meant watering down) gun reform.
As former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama joined President Joe Biden in condemning the decision of the Supreme Court on overturning Roe v. Wade. The decision was widely condemned by world leaders and many women's rights groups.
Sen. Karen Cornyn (R-TX) decided to make a racial dog whistle in the wake of this. He suggested that the landmark decisions of Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education be overturned.
Back when the Court no sense, they ruled that Plessy v. Ferguson, the decision that made segregation legal in the United States. It lasted for almost a generation. That allowed Blacks and non-white people to be prevented from using facilities that were specifically made for whites.
The Brown v. Board of Education decision ended school segregation. It outlawed discrimination at facilities and required equal protection for all public schools and universities.
The Court has hinted that they're looking into the Griswold v. Connecticut, Lawrence v. Texas and Obergefell v. Hodges. These landmark decisions could come into the Court with Uncle Clarence hinting he and Karen Alito will be willing overrule these decisions therefore striking them down.
Cornyn as well as the Republicans in the Congress praised the decision.
The Roe v. Wade decision made it a constitutional right for women to seek medical care in the event of an accidental pregnancy. A decision that was assure in the rights of privacy, medical care and family planning.
The Court decided to throw the decision into the states where a bunch of white idiots can force a woman to carry to term a pregnancy. A bunch of white idiots will harass a teenager or a single mother who wants to live their lives without adding more burdens on their lives.
VOTE.
VOTE OUT THESE REPUBLICANS FROM LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS.
IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO VOTE, YOU WILL SEE THE U.S. SHIFT TOWARDS FASCISM AND AUTHORITARIANISM.
Biden signs the Protect Our Children From Gun Violence bill into law.
The biggest news besides the mass shootings happening everyday in the U.S. is the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. The Court basically played on culture wars when they made the decision to make the states control a woman's right to make private, personal and health decisions.
Of course, women can carry conceal firearms without a permit in every state and territory. They said the states cannot regulate gun owners from disclosing whether they have firearms in their possession. That means anyone in the country could carry firearms in any facility without fear of arrest. Of course, if you're a white male. Blacks, Muslims, immigrants with conceal carry will likely face arrest or death.
So in other words, LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION, ENDS IN A MASS SHOOTING.
Abortion is not completely banned. However, in most Republican states it is. Now it is a political issue and could be the start of a civil war within our country.
However, there is some good news for those who reject status quo and culture wars.
The Senate and House of Representatives have passed a gun reform bill. President Joe Biden signed the legislation on Saturday before he boards Air Force One for an overseas meeting with the European Union.
“Today, we say ‘More than enough,’” Biden said. “This is a monumental day.”
Biden signed the bipartisan bill, which addresses gun violence, into law in the Roosevelt Room at the White House before departing for Europe.
“Time is of the essence,” Biden said. “Lives will be saved.”
The House of Representatives passed the $13 billion Bipartisan Safer Communities Act bill on Friday, The Associated Press reported. The bill passed the House by a 234-193 margin. Fourteen Republicans joined Democrats in passing the bill.
That came a day after the Senate, with 15 Republicans crossing party lines, passed the measure by a 65-33 vote, The New York Times reported.
The legislation contains enhanced background checks and closes the “boyfriend loophole” that bans gun sales by people convicted of domestic violence.
One step. There's still more work to come.
Citing the families of shooting victims, the president said, “Their message to us was to do something. Well today, we did.”
Gun safety bill: Senate, House pass first gun legislation in decades; here’s what’s in it.
The bill also toughens requirements for young people to buy guns, according to The Associated Press. Most of the bill’s $13 billion cost will go to bolster mental health programs.
The measure is the first to address gun violence since the assault weapons ban of 1994 expired after 10 years, CNN reported.
Lawmakers began working on the bill after the mass shooting that killed 19 students and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, a month ago. That shooting happened 10 days after a gunman killed 10 Black shoppers in Buffalo, New York.
Biden mentioned the families of the shooting victims as he prepared to sign the bill.
“Their message to us was to do something,” Biden said. “Well, today, we did.”
Obstructionist Leader Karen McConnell (R-KY) said the bill will make the Second Amendment stronger.
“I am proud of these two complementary victories that will make our country freer and safer at the same time,” the Senate minority leader said after the measure passed the upper chamber of Congress. “Law-abiding Americans will go to bed tonight with significantly stronger Second Amendment rights than they had this morning, while new commonsense guardrails around convicted criminals and mental illness are now on their way to becoming law.”
The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
Down in Cincinnati, a father had his emotions show during a courtroom appearance.
He served a killer a hot plate to avenge his slain child. The killer (who I won't name) was on trial for stabbing Nyteisha Lattimore to death and then killing her son, Nylo. The killer dumped the child's corpse in the Ohio River. The Ohio and Kentucky authorities couldn't find the body.
The killer was allegedly upset that Nyteshia, 30 had a miscarriage. So he beats her senseless, stabs her and disposes the body. Nylo saw it and was crying. The killer would then either sexually abuse or strangle the child. I'm going to say he did both.
The law did say that evidence of blood on blanket shows that the killer had murder the boy. The 3-year old boy didn't have a chance to enjoy his life. The killer took it and I guess Tonio Hughes couldn't take this.
Hughes is the father of Nylo. He felt that the killer besides murdering the child, the killer possibly sexually abused the child.
Killer tossed Nyteisha and Nylo in the Ohio River after a domestic dispute.
The suspect was in court on Thursday for a pretrial hearing. The father charged at the defense table and punched the killer in the right side of his head. The Hamilton County Sheriff bailiffs had to restrain the father and take the killer out of the courtroom. The killer was not seriously injured.
Judge Megan Shanahan charged Hughes with contempt of court. She ordered the grieving father to spend seven days in the Hamilton County Justice Center.
This monster sexually abused his girlfriend and her child. He murdered them.
“Judge Megan Shanahan and the Hamilton Sheriff’s Office would like to emphasize that this behavior will not be tolerated in the courthouse,” Hamilton County Sheriff PIO Kyla Woods told the outlet.
Faith Burton, a friend of Hughes, said the grieving dad is struggling not only with the loss of his son, but with a lack of closure regarding his still-missing body.
“Everything inside him, just the pain and everything took over,” Burton said. “He did what I think any of us would do.”
Police say the killer was motivated to kill Nylo and Nyteisha Lattimore after the latter miscarried his child. The killing of her three-year-old, an officer said in court, was revenge for the lost pregnancy.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Softball Hannity fumes at Biden over Juul being removed.
Get some fucking help.
This guy is just as bad as Raymond "Benzino" Scott, a piece of shit former rapper who feuded with Eminem and his own daughter Coi Leray.
"Softball" Hannity is the most annoying media personality in the fucking world. He is a trash bin of old cable shows where the host would talk over you while you're trying to make a point. He is the guy who can't go a day without name dropping Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Donald J. Trump (I call him Washed Up 45) and the rival media agitators.
He is a pile of word vomit.
Every August I devote my life inside my goddamn basement in my underwear writing another "Sean Hannity Word Vomit."
Now I am hoping that the Jan. 6 Committee investigating the U.S. Capitol attack will focus on this guy.
He's pretty much a walking ethics violation. He is trying to confuse his audience. He claims he's "not a journalist" but then running around promoting "journalism" if you call conspiracy theories, journalism.
The biggest conspiracy theorist besides that fool on InfoWars. He mainstreams these conspiracy theories and ad hominem attacks into the junk food media.
Washed Up 45 has been pushed this in 2018. He managed to raise the age of tobacco consumption and vaping to age 21. You didn't see outrage from the softball.
Now the Biden administration is carrying on a Washed Up 45 policy on banning flavored e-cigs because of the possibility of underage children using them. All outrage from the softball.
The FDA has decided to formally end a nationwide distribution of Juul.
Trace Gallagher, a Los Angeles based reporter for Fox talked to the softball about the possibility of Juul being formally removed from American stores. The softball lost it.
"They ban it, and I'll do it live on TV and they can come and arrest me. How's that!"
The agitator decided to pivot towards blaming Democrats for the world's problems.
"Now, while the Biden FDA wants people to stop vaping, many Democratic-run cities and states, they have no problem decriminalizing even hard drugs, even as overdose deaths are spiking."
What the annoying agitator is whining about it the possibility of federal government decriminalizing marijuana. It has no plans to decriminalizing anything else.
However, Juul has been notorious for pushing products like strawberry, mango, mint, cinnamon and other flavors.
Khabane Lame, 22, became the world’s top TikToker on Wednesday, officially overtaking American sensation Charli D’Amelio, 18. As of Thursday afternoon, Lame has a staggering 144 million followers.
D’Amelio is close behind with 142.3 million.
"Laid-off factory worker unseats Charli D'Amelio as top TikTok star with 142.8M fans," the headline read.
The New York Post, a far right tabloid refers him as a laid-off factory worker who unseated a white woman.
Black folks see it and I am sure Khaby seen it as well. We know what the Post is saying about Khaby.
This was a coded word to say..... ahem NIGGER. But don't let the Post make him a laid off factory worker. Khaby is a TikTok creator, comedian and social media influencer.
Fox "News", The New York Post and numerous affiliations in Australia and the United Kingdom are trash. They are emboldened by white nationalist propaganda.
He exploded in popularity for poking fun at viral trends on the app with a deadpan expression, deriding how overly complicated and bizarre internet "hacks" and pranks can be without saying a word.
Khaby is often trolling viral TikTok videos of stupidity. Usually a person tries a hack and he literally catches it.
Dave Chappelle gets Yellow Springs to back out of development deal.
Comedian Dave Chappelle lives in the village of Yellow Springs, Ohio. The entertainer has a farm in the village. The comedian has a big impact on the town and he certainly got his way when he warned them, if Oberer decided to build housing project, he would leave.
The village heard and they understood the impact he has on the village.
The 50 acres of land that sits near Hyde Road is where Oberer wanted to build affordable housing.
Chappelle was the most outspoken member of the village opposing the development.
"I'm adamantly opposed to it, obviously live behind the development or the proposed development," Chappelle said.
Yellow Springs agreed to allowing Oberer build single family only, but not townhomes, duplexes and apartments.
Oberer eventually backed out of the deal after they found it impossible to build their request on that property.
Chappelle had invested in trying to refurbish an old firehouse and turn it into a comedy club, restaurant and community center. He said that if they build on that land, he will back out the deal and move out of the village.
Yellow Springs, Ohio is a gem.
It appears that Chappelle is considering buying the land from Oberer.
Yellow Springs, is a village in Greene County, Ohio. It is 15 miles from Dayton. Greene County is a heavily Republican county but the village of Yellow Springs is very Democratic. The village population is 4,200 residents.
Perhaps the village is the only thing progressive in the mostly rural county.
Chappelle also backed out of the naming of a theater. He also lives in Washington, DC. He pulled out of the Duke Ellington School of Art naming after he faced a backlash for The Closer. The Netflix comedy was controversial for perception of anti-transgender jokes.
The culture wars in American politics. White nationalism has once again prevailed. The healthcare of women, the responsibilities of doctors and the ignorance of American jurists. The country is completely divided. Soon it will be affirmative action, gay marriage, human rights, environmental protections and presidential powers. They will be on the line with the Supreme Court.
The leaked decision was the confirmation.
The Supreme Court has struck down Roe v. Wade.
Now the Justices will face death threats and there's a possibility of violent attacks sparked by this. The Department of Homeland Security is likely going to have a high alert for possible domestic terrorism.
All part of these ridiculous culture wars now will come to head. The Court made a fucking 6-3 decision.

Repercussions are coming
The U.S. Marshals in full force are protecting these justices. The Congress is considering legislation that provides protection and penalties for threats against the justices. Congress can't protect the children who were slain in a school and Black shoppers who were massacred by a white extremist.
The Karens of the Court decided that 49 years of right to privacy, medical decisions and safety are now the state's problem. It is not a popular decision by far.
President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Congress and the state and territorial governors will react to the decision.
The Court released its decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on Friday, voting to overturn Roe v. Wade — the 1973 ruling that guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights. This most recent case, which was heard by the Court in December 2021, centered on a Mississippi law banning abortion if the "probable gestational age of the unborn human" is more than 15 weeks. This ruling comes after a draft decision document that signaled this outcome leaked on May 2.
The court’s controversial but expected ruling gives individual states the power to set their own abortion laws without concern of running afoul of Roe, which had permitted abortions during the first two trimesters of pregnancy.
Almost half the states are expected to outlaw or severely restrict abortion as a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, which is related to a highly restrictive new Mississippi abortion law.
Other states plan to maintain more liberal rules governing the termination of pregnancies.
Supporters of abortion rights immediately condemned the ruling, abortion opponents praised a decision they had long hoped for.
The court’s three liberal justices filed a dissenting opinion to the ruling, which quickly drew protestors to the Supreme Court building on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.
“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito wrote.
“The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely — the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment,” Alito wrote.
“That provision has been held to guarantee some rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution, but any such right must be ‘deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition’ and ’implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.”
“It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives,” Alito wrote.
In their scathing joint dissent, the court’s liberal justices wrote, “The majority has overruled Roe and Casey for one and only one reason: because it has always despised them, and now it has the votes to discard them. The majority thereby substitutes a rule by judges for the rule of law.”
Roe v. Wade is gone and now the aftermath comes.
“The majority would allow States to ban abortion from conception onward because it does not think forced childbirth at all implicates a woman’s rights to equality and freedom,” said the dissent by Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan.
“Today’s Court, that is, does not think there is anything of constitutional significance attached to a woman’s control of her body and the path of her life,” it said. “A State can force her to bring a pregnancy to term, even at the steepest personal and familial costs.”
The decision came a day after the Supreme Court in another controversial ruling invalidated a century-old New York law that had made it very difficult for people to obtain a license to carry a gun outside of their homes.
VOTE.
VOTE TO GET REPUBLICANS OUT OF STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS.
IF YOU CONTINUE TO ALLOW REPUBLICANS TO LEGISLATE, THE COUNTRY WILL MOVE TOWARDS FACSISM AND AUTHORITARIANISM.
Women are now 3/5 of a person when it comes to their bodies. They will regret this.
The case that triggered Roe’s demise, known as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, is related to a Mississippi law that banned nearly all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
Dobbs was by far the most significant and controversial dispute of the court’s term.
It also posed the most serious threat to abortion rights since Planned Parenthood v. Casey, in which the Supreme Court reaffirmed Roe.
Dobbs deepened partisan divisions in a period of already intense political tribalism.
The early May leak of a draft of the majority opinion, which completely overturned Roe, sent shockwaves across the country and galvanized activists on both sides of the debate. It also cast a pall over the nation’s highest court, which immediately opened an investigation to find the source of the leak.
The publication of the court’s draft opinion, written by Alito, sparked protests from abortion-rights supporters, who were outraged and fearful about how the decision will impact both patients and providers as 22 states gear up to restrict abortions or ban them outright.
The leaked opinion marked a major victory for conservatives and anti-abortion advocates who had worked for decades to undermine Roe and Casey, which the majority of Americans support keeping in place.
But Republican lawmakers in Washington, who are hoping to win big in the November midterm elections, initially focused more on the leak itself than on what it revealed. They also decried the protests that formed outside the homes of some conservative justices, accusing activists of trying to intimidate the court.
The unprecedented leak of Alito’s draft opinion blew a hole in the cloak of secrecy normally shrouding the court’s internal affairs. It drew harsh scrutiny from the court’s critics, many of whom were already concerned about the politicization of the country’s most powerful deliberative body, where justices are appointed for life.
Roberts vowed that the work of the court “will not be affected in any way” by the leak, which he described as a “betrayal” intended to “undermine the integrity of our operations.”
The leak had clearly had an impact, however. Tall fencing was set up around the court building afterward, and Attorney General Merrick Garland directed the U.S. Marshals Service to “help ensure the Justices’ safety.”

Tell me:
Has anyone in the hood ever heard of a Benzino song?
Or perhaps has anyone ever played any of Benzino's music?
Wack 100 pissed at Scott for telling lies.
Wack 100 is the former manager of The Game. The celebrity agitator is known for trolling. He said that he had to apologize to fellow celebrity agitator Aayan X, an openly gay blogger who was belittled by Wack and Scott.
Scott had threatened Shauna Brooks, 50 Cent, Coi Leray, Royce Da 5'9", Em and his "stan army" online. He has feuded with Lil Nas X, Merkules, The Evolve and NoLifeShaq.
Wack 100 had to own up to the allegations once he saw Scott using the sex toy.
He addressed it on Clubhouse. Scott tried to deny it and made silly excuses to what happened. He said that he was in the presence of women when he was pleasuring himself.
Wack said that the stories don't match up, because he has a video of man using a dildo on himself, and if you look into the arms of that said person, the tattoos matched Scott's.
Wack said that he is tempted to share this with MediaTakeOut and Fif.
Knowing that Fif is a huge troll, once he gets ahold of the evidence, it could spell disaster for Scott.
His ex-girlfriend and mother of his youngest son had hinted that Scott is known among some who strolled into the life.
Now, I want to say, that his personal life and sex life is his own business. I don't give two fucks about his sex life. However, he is an asshole, racist and terrible person. He has mental issues and it's unfortunate that he will never seek help.
He sabotaged Coi's music debut because he couldn't keep his damn mouth shut about Nicki Minaj appearing on her single.
Now I am hoping that this man gets his life together. Cause it's been down hill ever since.
The culture wars continue with the Supreme Court. These six nimrods will get protection for LIFE knowing that these stupid decisions will immediately trigger possible violence.
This decision will now void state laws that restricted conceal carry access are now voided.
The Court ruled 6-3 in the New York law that restricted conceal carry access in state. The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen required anyone who wants to carry a concealed handgun outside the home to show “proper cause” for the license.
New York courts interpreted that phrase to require applicants to show more than a general desire to protect themselves or their property. Instead, applicants must demonstrate a special need for self-defense.
President Joe Biden said in a statement he was “deeply disappointed” by the Supreme Court ruling, which he said “contradicts both common sense and the Constitution, and should deeply trouble us all.”
He urged states to pass new laws and said, “I call on Americans across the country to make their voices heard on gun safety. Lives are on the line.”
In the opinion itself, Justice Crispy Thomas wrote for the majority that the Constitution protects “an individual’s right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.”
The decision struck down a New York law requiring people to demonstrate a particular need for carrying a gun in order to get a license to carry one in public. The justices said that requirement violates the Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.”
California, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Rhode Island all have similar laws. The Biden administration had urged the justices to uphold New York’s law.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said the ruling comes at a particularly painful time, when New York is still mourning the deaths of 10 people in a mass shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo. “This decision isn’t just reckless. It’s reprehensible. It’s not what New Yorkers want,” she said.
But Tom King, president of the plaintiff New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, said he was relieved.
“The lawful and legal gun owner of New York State is no longer going to be persecuted by laws that have nothing to do with the safety of the people and will do nothing to make the people safer,” he said. “And maybe now we’ll start going after criminals and the perpetrator of these heinous acts.”
In a court dissent joined by his liberal colleagues, Justice Stephen Breyer focused on the toll taken by gun violence. “Since the start of this year alone (2022), there have already been 277 reported mass shootings—an average of more than one per day,“ Breyer wrote.
Backers of New York’s law had argued that striking it down would lead to more guns on the streets and higher rates of violent crime. Gun violence, which was already on the rise during the coronavirus pandemic has spiked anew.
In most of the country gun owners have little difficulty legally carrying their weapons in public. But that had been harder to do in New York and the handful of states with similar laws. New York’s law, which has been in place since 1913, says that to carry a concealed handgun in public, a person applying for a license has to show “proper cause,” a specific need to carry the weapon.
The state issues unrestricted licenses where a person can carry their gun anywhere and restricted licenses that allow a person to carry the weapon but just for specific purposes such as hunting and target shooting or to and from their place of business.
The Supreme Court last issued a major gun decision in 2010. In that decision and a ruling from 2008 the justices established a nationwide right to keep a gun at home for self-defense. The question for the court this time was about carrying one outside the home.
The challenge to the New York law was brought by the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, which describes itself as the nation’s oldest firearms advocacy organization, and two men seeking an unrestricted ability to carry guns outside their homes.
The court’s decision is somewhat out of step with public opinion. About half of voters in the 2020 presidential election said gun laws in the U.S. should be made more strict, according to AP VoteCast, an expansive survey of the electorate. An additional third said laws should be kept as they are, while only about 1 in 10 said gun laws should be less strict.
This next hearing will deal with the former president trying to push DOJ to help him win his election.
Today is the Jan. 6 hearing. This will be the last hearing for the month. The House Select Committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol is planning on resuming its session in July.
On Tuesday, Americans listen to testimony from Republican state officials and a Georgia mother and daughter.
The testimonies were pretty heartbreaking. They said that Washed Up 45 as well as his minions made life miserable for them.
The former president continued to push the lie that the election was stolen from him and he tried to pressure Republicans to overturn the results.
He failed in the court.
He failed to pressure someone to literally commit an illegal act.
He failed at getting his supporters to successful to destroy the electoral count ballots during the Senate's special session.
Washed Up 45 continues to push misinformation about what sparked the attack on the U.S. Capitol. The whole incident led to his second impeachment which the Republican senators failed to convict.
The testimonies of today's hearing will discuss former Justice Department officials were told by his lawyers to push forward a lie that immigrants were voting, urban areas had misconduct and Democrats threatened Republican poll workers.
It was a hodge podge of conspiracy theories and violent threat.
Now it reported that the committee members are getting extra protection after the last testimony.
New York rapper was seriously injured in an attempted robbery in New Jersey. The terrorists were caught. Many fear that Lil TJay may not survive his injuries.
The entertainer was shot multiple times and another man was also wounded during an attempted armed robbery early Wednesday in New Jersey, according to officials.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office, which is handling the investigation, said gunfire erupted at a Chipotle restaurant at a residential and outdoor shopping center in Edgewater.
The Edgewater Police Department responded to a 911 call about the shooting at 12:08 a.m. and found Lil Tjay, 21, whose legal name is Tione Jayden Merritt, with multiple gunshot wounds, according to a news release from the prosecutor’s office.
The other victim, Antoine Boyd, 22, was found at an Exxon gas station about a mile from the Chipotle, with a single gunshot wound, authorities said.
Investigators determined that suspect, 27 year old from New York, “attempted to commit armed robbery” against Lil Tjay, and two people he was with a 24-year old man from the Bronx, New York, and the other shooting victim when the shooting occurred, according to the prosecutor's office.
Detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office and the New York City Police Department on Wednesday arrested the terrorist on three counts of attempted murder, three counts of armed robbery and other weapons charges, the release stated. He is pending extradition to New Jersey.
The terrorists were also charged with unlawful possession of a weapon, officials said.
They were remanded to the Bergen County Jail pending a first court appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack, New Jersey, according to the release.
Lawyer information for the three was not immediately available.
Both victims were taken to a hospital where they were treated. TMZ was the first to report that Lil Tjay was shot and undergoing emergency surgery Wednesday.
NBC News has reached out to his representatives for comment.
Following news of the shooting, rapper French Montana tweeted "pray for my lil bro lil Tjay."
In an update Wednesday, officials said one critically injured victim was stable. The other victim had non-life threatening injuries and was in good condition.
Lil Tjay posted on his Instagram story Tuesday: “PSA Just because you’ve been around a person doesn’t make you entitled to the fruits of that persons labor. Envy is at an all time high be safe outchea.”
Lil Tjay, who hails from The Bronx in New York City, rose to prominence in 2018 with the song “Resume” and signed with Columbia Records.
The artist, who has over 7 million followers on Instagram and more than 17 million listeners on Spotify, is known for hits like "Calling My Phone" with 6lack and "In My Head." He was featured on Polo G's song "Pop Out," which hit No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and Pop Smoke's "Mood Swings."
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.
When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3. The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.
President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back.
The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

The call number to the U.S. Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official phone number, 202-224-3121. Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES.
The far right outrages over Vice President Kamala Harris making a shot.
I just clicked on a piece from Mediaite and the writer who I will not name wrote "Kamala Harris’ Press Secretary Claims VP Shot ‘Nothing But Net’ in North Korean-Style Disinformation Tweet" and almost immediately I thought about MSNBC's progressive agitator Joy Reid mentioning the numerous stories aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris.
They have mentioned the vice president only by name instead of her formal title.
They have attacked her for her laugh, her travels, her marriage to Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, her Blackness, her record as a senator, California Attorney General, San Francisco District Attorney and numerous events she attended as Vice President of the United States.
The writer wrote Kirsten Allen, the press secretary for Vice President Kamala Harris, spread North Korean-style disinformation on Twitter Wednesday.
ICYMI- I have a damn good reason why #BidenHarris should not step aside for some fill in the blank miscellaneous Dem in 2024- THEY WON! You don't bench your MVPs for rookies in a rematch. I never believed in living or dying by the polls & I'm not gonna start today. #DanAbramsLivepic.twitter.com/3vCgjZtlZF

The representative for the vice president claimed her boss hit “nothing but net” in a video featuring Harris shooting a basketball that quite obviously rattled into the basket instead.
The vice president makes a basketball shot at a local community center and this writer wrote "The fact the ball touched the rim is at odds with the Collins dictionary definition of what 'nothing but net' actually means. The fact the ball touched the rim is at odds with the Collins dictionary definition of what 'nothing but net' actually means."
“In basketball the term implies that a player shoots the ball and gets the basketball inside the rim without touching the rim with the ball,” Collins notes.
The vice president's shot appeared to hit the back iron, bounced around the rim and then went in.
The writer describing “nothing but net” as North Korean-style disinformation.
Joy Reid is telling the truth. The attack on Vice President Kamala Harris is systemic racism.
The writer then claimed his employer Mediaite combed through Allen’s career credentials, but was unable to link her to anyone inside North Korea. Still, her claim is aligned with tactics commonly used by Pyongyang.
The fact this asshole claimed two Black women are pushing a propaganda video is the very reason why Reid stressed that Vice President Harris' hlow approval ratings are proof that white males in the junk food media are strategically trying to prevent her from becoming President of the United States in the future.
It is true, the outrage from the far right and leftists are proof positive. Besides Mediaite, there's The New York Post, The Daily Mail, Breitbart, Newsmax, Fox and The Young Turks have targeted the vice president.
Reid stated "Most of the media is still white and male," the MSNBC presenter said. "And their take on Kamala Harris becomes the take. It becomes conventional wisdom."
Systematic racism towards women of color exist. Vice President Kamala Harris, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, former first lady Michelle Obama, Georgia gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams, former Pennsylvania Republican senate candidate Kathy Barnette, Supreme Court justice designate Ketanji Brown Jackson and Valerie Jarrett faced racial attacks from white extremists.
In the case of Barnette, she was attacked by the very folks she supports. Fox turned on her quickly after Washed Up 45 endorsed Mehmet Oz.
