Those National Guard members who were shot were only there because of one person!!

Hegseth proves himself a total moron every time he opens his mouth.
This is wrong, this is stupid, this is 💯 political, this is illegal, and there’s ZERO reason for this. National Guard troops have lives, jobs & families. This is an absolute waste of their time. Trump is using them to try to score political points. Just terrible.👇
Pete Hegseth announces that Trump will deploy 500 more National Guard troops to Washington, DC after today’s shooting

Good question. NYT, do better!
Ok NYT wut does the second sentence have to do w/ the first

“The shooting of two National Guard members on Wednesday was not the first time there was violence near the White House.

During World War II, a stranger slipped into the White House to watch a movie with President Franklin D. Roosevelt.”

Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day.

Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone.

The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place.

WHYYYYY

Self dealing with your taxes and mine.
Did Kristi and Kash get to Vegas in one of Kristi's Gulfstream G700 private jets taxpayers paid $200,000,000 for or did they use a $60,000,000 FBI private jet that taxpayers also paid for? These are incompetent fools only on the job for the attention and theft.

Hey, Trump. You don’t need to push Putin’s 28-point plan to end the war in Ukraine. Just go with the one point plan to end it: Russia gets the hell out of Ukraine.

Well, politics is doing us, regardless.

Yes, my thought every time I see and hear him speak.
Anyone who constantly smirks in this condescending, bullshit manner while he's talking deserves every fucking thing coming to him.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

If US listened to and respected its women, Trump would have never, ever been a President.

We can’t end violence against women unless more people are willing to speak up.

Truth.
Absolute solidarity to all the women out there who have had a man at work lean forward, point a finger at you, and mutter the equivalent of “quiet piggy” while all of your colleagues just stand around and do nothing.

There’s a reason why that was so triggering to so many people.
