Trump killed that guardsman. He needlessly set up US troops as targets with the venal goal of being a media tough guy, tackling a non-existent problem.

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

It’s a pattern.
Nov 14, aboard Air Force One, Trump told Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey, “Quiet. Quiet, piggy.”
It’s not new. He called Miss Universe Alicia Machado “Miss Piggy” and “Miss Housekeeping.”
He’s called women “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs,” and “disgusting animals.”

If SCOTUS keeps overruling appellate courts, they’ll find the federal judiciary in open revolt.
Breaking news: Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. issued a brief pause on a lower court order blocking a new congressional map in Texas that would give Republicans an edge in winning five additional House seats.
Supreme Court justice pauses order blocking Texas map favoring GOP
The order will give the high court time to consider an appeal by Texas, which is seeking to overturn the ruling by a panel of federal judges.

Mike Johnson's official bio says he has "two decades of previous experience in Constitutional law." Yet, when Trump threatens to execute Democratic members of Congress, he suddenly has no opinion.
This is what shameful cowardice does to someone like Johnson and it is how he will be remembered.
