The timing of this post and the reference to the murders being "due to the anger ... caused others through … TDS" suggests strongly that Trump believed that **one or more of his supporters** had committed the murders—and that they had committed the atrocity **justifiably**.

I think we need to stand with the National Guard who have been deployed to our streets and walk with them wearing vests of the international Red Cross. Surround them if you can. This is not without danger. But no non-violent action is risk free.

SNAP is an issue for our men and women in the military and their families. bsky.app/profile/star...
A judge gave the Trump administration until Friday to make the payments through SNAP.
But the administration asked an appeals court to suspend any orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund.

We have a problem. The enlisted corps of the military are likely to follow dear leader and a good number of the NCOs. It is hard to say how commissioned officers will respond. But generals have supported him.
