Everyone sees this, right? The plan was always to stomp around until an excuse to escalate presented itself. Media should be 100% calling this out and not wringing hands over the guy who did the shooting.
The Trump administration quickly ordered 500 more National Guard members to Washington following the shooting. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said President Donald Trump asked him to send the extra soldiers. https://to.pbs.org/3M1cKXU
Two National Guard members shot just blocks from the White House
FBI Director Kash Patel and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said the Guard members were hospitalized in critical condition. Bowser said they were victims of a ”targeted shooting.”

To residents of NW Georgia (Dalton, Rome, and other towns and places) who want to point this out: Congresswoman Greene's DC office telephone number is (202) 225-5211.
As a retiring but still sitting member of the House, MTG has the opportunity to read into the public record documents that otherwise could not be released... and would be protected by the constitution's speech or debate clause from prosecution.

You don't need to rebuild trust in science because trust in science is *quite high*. Supermajorities of Republican voters trust science!
