On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

A light mix of precip sweeping into DC area Sunday am. Could see a few snowflakes or sleet pellets. Temps above freezing no road issues but let us know what you’re seeing.

The thing that people need to realize is that, on the state level, a lot of Republican lawmakers don't act or think like Congressional Republicans and don't perform as pure toadies for Trump.
Some do. Many don't. I see both in Mississippi.
You can't view state politics through the lens of D.C.

Doubt Dems will win #TN07 - but the fact that Trump and Johnson has to do it is beyond wild. This like Biden and Pelosi doing emergency tele-rally if they thought a safe blue seat was in jeopardy in the Bay Area.
Another sign why Trump is becoming unhinged w his immigration rhetoric. Desperation.
