So they are saying an Afghan National is responsible. Perhaps if the FBI hadn't pulled so many away from counterterrorism & put them on helping ICE this could have been thwarted.

How is it that we already know so much about the guy who shot 2 national guardsmen this afternoon but we know pretty much nothing about the two guys who tried to assassinate the president months ago?

Trump followed Putin’s advice and revoked the offer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. The leaked call comes just days after the U.S. presented a 28-point peace plan to end the war in Ukraine, largely reflecting Russian positions.

When asked about the death of a W. Virginia National Guardsman, the President of the United States bragged about his electoral margin in her state.
When asked about the shooter, he called the reporter a stupid person.
Please stop holding quarter for anyone supporting this monstrous piece of shit.

So not only was the DC shooter granted asylum by this administration, but he also has ties to the CIA and was even in possession of a CIA-issued ID. This administration gives one no choice but to entertain conspiracy theories.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.
I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.

Every time I think about reinstating the Post subscription I gave up last year, I read a headline like this.
The speculation of a lunatic Trump supporter (redundancy, I know) is not news.

I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process.
I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.

If it hasn't, the agency should also sue every contractor who worked on, or is working on, the demolition and reconstruction. They had to have known that their contracts to perform illegal work violated numerous federal laws.
