I just read this. I've been fascinated by the problem of nuclear weapons since junior high and this idea is new to me!

Josh Marshall is exactly right. The armed gangs that are ICE and CBP that have killed two American citizens are not Democrat's problem to solve.

"They had the professional demeanor or criminals."
As a Texas police officer I had many occasions to point a firearm at someone. However, when I did, I had a reasonable belief that they might have a firearm that they might use against me, not just for intimidation.

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

My question to the NRA on Twitter just now.
Hey, NRA leadership. Are you going to agree with the government that a legal gun owner may not carry a firearm to a protest? Since when?
"DHS has argued it is 'unlawful' for protesters to bring a firearm to a demonstration."

Zelensky lands in Miami. Not a single US official is on hand to greet him. In the language of diplomacy this send an unequivocal message of coldness and hostility. Compare it with the lavish pomp and red carpet shown to Putin when he landed in Alaska a few weeks ago.
