So you think the victim was in the wrong place, she disobeyed a lawful order, the attempt to breach her vehicle was lawful, and the first shot was defensible? The 2 deadly shots into the driver’s window, allowing her to bleed out, and smearing her as a domestic terrorist are still INDEFENSIBLE!

It is terrible that Trump and Hegseth are ordering the wanton and unjustified killings of civilians, and doing so in our name. It is terrible that Republicans in Congress are unwilling to stop or even investigate them.
A scorched boat washed ashore on a remote beach in Colombia. Then mangled bodies. And then empty packets, a few with marijuana traces. We matched the physical and digital evidence to a U.S. airstrike — and found a fishing community terrified to go to sea. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...

Republicans control the House by a 7-seat margin, but that's with four vacant seats.
Does Trump really want to "take out" Massie? And the three other GOP representatives who joined him? Seems like he's playing with fire.
So, yeah: What exactly is in those files?

A thing I really need people to keep in mind: 15% tariffs are high, historically speaking. 10% tariffs are high.
The average effective tariff rate before this term was just over 2%. Anything double-digits is high!
