It was the governor of WVA that announced the two National Guardsmen shot in DC died. He has walked that statement back because of conflicting reports. Seems like an important fact to get right, but hopefully these two young men survive.

One reason for thanks amid the strife: “Many among us will not roll over and quietly permit a despotic, hateful regime to consolidate its power…And it’s this growing defiance… that helps explain why this regime’s hold is weakening and will ultimately fail.”

Trump proves once again that he knows nothing about the art of the deal.
Q: Have you heard this audio that Bloomberg has of Witkoff coaching the Russians on how to appeal to you?
TRUMP: That's a standard thing. He's gotta sell this to Ukraine, he's gonna sell Ukraine to Russia. That's what a dealmaker does. I haven't heard it but I heard it was standard negotiation.
