"I'm 15!" she cries out. "I'm not resisting!"
Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.

I think one of the reasons you hear so much visceral anger coming from Dems about politics these days is bc for years now we’ve been expected to respond with dignity and respect (which we do) when political violence touches the GOP. But when it touches us - we get the Mike Lee’s of the world.
Because of my work and writing, I've talked to countless elected officials and their staffers about political violence over the past several years. Mostly Dem, though not all. The collective trauma for these folks is immeasurable and justified. With no recourse. www.semafor.com/article/06/1...
Congress confronts its own trauma
After an assassin’s hit list was revealed to contain multiple lawmakers, the pain of political violence hit home in new ways.

Can confirm. When I worked in the White House, I had to be careful to split the bill with anyone when having lunch.
(Of course that was under a president who sold his peanut farm rather than be suspected of any conflict of interest.)

Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.
