"He even dressed as Donald Trump for Halloween. The family wasn’t shy about their culture of guns, their politics, or their worldview.

"Tyler Robinson comes from a Republican family. His father owns a business installing kitchen countertops and cabinets. His mother is a licensed social worker. His family is white, Mormon, and self-described as 'gun-toting.' There are endless photos of Tyler and his family with guns. His mother posted about him proudly."

Most #Republicans stood up to applaud #Trump’s announcement that he would impose reciprocal #tariffs on April 2, but several remained seated, including Sens #LisaMurkowski (Alaska), #SusanCollins (Maine) & #RogerWicker (Mississippi).
I don’t care if they sit or stand. I want them to vote for the US interests & stop kowtowing to Trump.
"On Thursday, Republican U.S. Rep. Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma introduced a House Resolution to condemn [Bishop Mariann] Budde’s sermon. … Twenty Republicans co-sponsored the resolution."

As Moira Donegal reminds us, Trump's plan to round up immigrants, put them into camps, and deport them is a "moral abomination," no matter how many white Christians lust for it and how the corporate media whitewash it.
"What is being proposed is a vast cruelty, a human tragedy, and a costly national investment in racism."

“The last time the United States launched a mass deportation effort … U.S. citizens of Hispanic descent were rounded up and sent to Mexico—a place that many had never been before.

- Israel
- Egypt
- Lebanon
- Oman
- Kuwait
- No confirmed top USAID official for the Middle East for nearly three years.
Meanwhile, Senator Tommy Tuberville has prevented the appointment of 300 senior officers in the US military."

Sure, that's all it was: a mistake. He's a college-educated graduate of a law school — a lawyer, for godssake! — and he voted twice in the last two elections, in two different states, no less, because it was a mistake.
You'll be shocked to learn he's a Trump supporter.
