DHS officials are already leaking that there are serious problems with how the ICE officer handled this.
"Officers are also instructed not to shoot at a moving vehicle and only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death, the official said."

The vehicle is going incredibly slowly and turning. It's obviously not weaponized in any sense. This is in *Trump's* video. If you look at these frames and that video along with this from @fritschner.bsky.social it appears clear that the officer shot her after the car brushed past as retaliation.

The first House vote of 2026, the quorum call, has a tight party split. Perhaps a harbinger of things to come

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation is effective today, which makes the party breakdown in the House 218 R - 213 D. Dems get another after the special election runoff in Texas on January 31. Close divide in the House this winter

Trump’s first veto is a Boebert bill to fund a drinking water project in (Trump+18) CO-3. Boebert was 1 of 4 House Rs who helped pass the Epstein files bill; the others:
- Massie—Trump attacks daily
- MTG—Trump bullied her out of Congress
- Mace—Trump-aligned top advisor quit, torched her publicly
- Massie—Trump attacks daily
- MTG—Trump bullied her out of Congress
- Mace—Trump-aligned top advisor quit, torched her publicly
The pipeline project is in GOP Rep Lauren Boebert's district. Boebert recently challenged Trump to force the release of the Epstein files. Boebert has issued a blistering statement reading, in part, "I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retribution."

Just remembered the James OKeefe sting video with a DOJ official from early September: “They’ll redact every Republican or conservative person in those files [and] leave all the liberal, Democratic people”

While all eyes were on health care, Dems very nearly pulled off another big surprise on the House floor. A war powers resolution vote forced by @meeks.house.gov to block Trump and Hegseth's boat strikes in the Caribbean nearly passed; 7 Republicans flipped their votes from yes to no late in the vote

Another note on this- as @ringsidenews.com points out, the discharge petition locked when it hit 218 signatures meaning no one else could sign. Other Republicans (LaLota, Salazar, Valadao) have since signaled they would also have signed had then been able and may support the bill on the floor
FOUR REPUBLICANS just signed the House Democratic discharge petition to force a House vote on the Hakeem Jeffries bill to extend health care tax credits for 3 years: Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), Mike Lawler (NY), Rob Bresnahan (PA), and Ryan Mackenzie (PA). Gives it the required 218 signatures. Huge news

Signs Trump is losing his grip:
- R’s passed CR that (for now) blocks Trump's RIFs
- R's just passed NDAA that denies Hegseth $$ until he releases boat strike video
- 20 R's just joined Dems to block Trump's Executive Order on fed labor rights
- Indiana Senate Rs kill redistricting in blowout vote

Strange that House Republicans weren't able to solve this problem in a two hour meeting after procrastinating for all of 2025 and generally failing to come up with a health care plan for the last 16+ years
