I want to be very clear that you should be horrified the level of influence Fox News has during trump presidencies on warmaking decisions. The network took it upon itself to help trump pick targets in the first term, when Fox was pushing him to bomb Syria

👀 Scoop: Trump and Republicans want USPS to sell off its brand new EVs and chargers.
That would mean literally **ripping up post office parking lots** to auction off assets with no private-sector value.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.

Well, this seems inefficient.
Republicans are actually lowering the age limit to buy guns to 18, even though 18 to 20-year-olds are FOUR TIMES more likely to commit gun homicides. This is craven.
