Interesting thing about this chart. There is no category for being "shot by immigrant" or "shot by protestor" or "shot by child under 12". The violence they are perpetrating against Citizens and Non-Citizens alike is a crime. They are no more than paid thugs. We will not forget.

Thanks to Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, millions of adults aged 55 to 64 may now be locked out of SNAP if they’re not able to work.
And in a one-two punch, the USDA has terminated its annual food insecurity survey, making it impossible to know just how devastating Trump’s cuts will be.
