This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf.
America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.
This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.
I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Happy Markwayne Mullin Coward Day for all who celebrate.
On #January6th he ran from the breach, cowering on his knees behind a row of chairs. Not exactly taking the high ground. One of the J6 cowards at the Capitol on #Insurrection Day.

Remember when a guy lost an election and then spent months making wild, baseless claims that it was stolen, leveraging the personality cult he’d built to try to get people to reject the results? And then thousands of his supporters rioted, injuring hundreds of cops?

Along with so much else, Trump, Miller, Rubio, Hegseth and Ratcliffe are lying to us about Venezuelan history—they didn't steal our land or oil—but they're confident their base is too stupid to know that and too venal to care, and in *that* they're correct
Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history.
The government of the oil-rich nation took control of its petroleum industry in 1976, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets.

When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
