Maybe Hegseth and Trump could also send 500 National Guard members to Kentucky, to help administer pertussis vaccines.

I'm tired of responding to bad-faith MAGA outrage, which always distracts corporate media, centrists, & those who feel they must indulge their temper tantrums.
They're blaming all of us now for the National Guard shooting.

NEW: The two shot National Guard troops never should have been in DC. More troops is no answer.
The violence is horrible and unacceptable. Trump, Pete Hegseth, and West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey never should have put the troops in this position.

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

The FBI redirected lots of agents to work on deporting people who came to the U.S. illegally, but who were not involved in separate criminal activity.
Perhaps if they'd been working on terrorism and violence cases, the two National Guard agents would not have been shot.
