Trump deployed the National Guard and mine-resistant vehicles to clean up DC crime. Now one crashed into a civilian's SUV. The metaphor writes itself. Our latest on the militarized occupation of Washington:

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he 💯 is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.
