Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell.

Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

Yes.

And then also fired a ton of senior agents with a ton of counterterrorism experience, including the Acting Director.
Didn’t the FBi pull a lot of personnel from anti terrorism to put them on deportations?

Actually the whole security establishment pivoted

Not good news here, #NC 😡.

Rs hold 10 of the state’s 14 congressional districts. The approved map aims to flip NC-1, currently represented by a D, Don Davis, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. Trump narrowly won the district in 2024.

Trump's directly responsible for the deaths of the 2 Nat'l. Guards.

5 days ago a judge told Trump to SEND THE NATIONAL GUARD HOME. He refused.
That means it's been 5 days since Trump's been in contempt of court by keeping them in DC.

TRUMP APPROVED THE DC
SHOOTER.

The shooter applied for asylum in December 2024 and was approved for asylum in April 2025 under Trump.

Can’t wait to see how the cult spins this one.

I 100% believe this.

Obamacare getting healthcare to 20 million people saves about 30,000 people's lives a year. Or about a 9/11 worth of lives EVERY MONTH, in perpetuity.

This would be bigger than that.

The National Guard wouldn’t have been shot today if Trump hadn’t sent them into DC in the first place — when nobody asked for them and nobody needed them.

Now he’s 500 more as a “response” to the chaos he created. did I get that right?

A single Afghan refugee attacks national guard troops, and MAGA demands we deport every refugee.

Thousands of MAGA fools attack the capitol and capitol police, and they get Presidential pardons and victimhood complexes.

This is all so ridiculous.

I feel like Republicans are going to end immigration for anything but white people and they’re going to be completely open about it. You know, ‘for the safety of the homeland.’
It didn’t even take 6 hours.

When Hegseth spoke about the National Guard shooting, he said:

“I mentioned the faith of this country. The Christian faith”

Why is he invoking Christian nationalism?

The US is not a Christian country.

It’s a country with the freedom to practice whatever religion you want.

Trump's speech about the shooting in DC veered into him attacking the Somali community in Minnesota, which of course had nothing to do with the shooting. Gives away his bigoted game.

1/2 🧵What Trump does NOT want you to know is that the claim Lakanwal (the alleged shooter of two National Guardsmen)…who entered the U.S. in 2021 and was “granted asylum” in April 2025 under the Trump administration appears to be true and is also being widely reported.
