Former President Donald Trump is asking his advisers for a plan to launch a military invasion of Mexico to attack drug cartels if re-elected in 2024, Rolling Stone reported on Wednesday.

"Trump lieutenants have briefed him on several options that include unilateral military strikes and troop deployments on a sovereign U.S. partner and neighbor, the sources say. One such proposal that Trump has been briefed on this year is an October white paper from the Center for Renewing America, an increasingly influential think tank staffed largely by Trumpist wonks, MAGA loyalists, and veterans of his administration," reported Asawin Suebsaeng and Adam Rawnsley. "The policy paper — titled 'It’s Time to Wage War on Transnational Drug Cartels' — outlines possible justifications and procedures for the next Republican commander-in-chief to 'formally' declare 'war against the cartels,' in response to 'the mounting bodies of dead Americans from fentanyl poisonings.'"

Derrick Miller, who serves as a military policy aide for Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), was convicted in a military trial for shooting an Afghan civilian in the head during an interrogation, The Intercept reported on Wednesday.

"While on a combat mission in Afghanistan’s Laghman province on September 26, 2010, Miller shot 27-year-old Atta Mohammed in the head during an interrogation," reported Ken Klippenstein. "Miller has maintained that he was acting in self-defense, alleging that Mohammed, who had walked through a defensive perimeter established by Miller’s unit, could be a threat to his unit and that he had tried to grab Miller’s weapon during the interrogation. But another National Guard member testified he heard Miller threaten to kill Mohammed if he did not tell the truth; and then sat on top of him — Mohammed was lying prone — before shooting him in the head, killing him. According to the prosecutor, Miller then said, 'I shot him. He was a liar.' Mohammed’s body was left in a latrine, in violation of military standards."

The Manhattan grand jury hearing evidence in the case against former President Donald Trump in the Stormy Daniels hush money case got an unexpected shout-out Wednesday.

The grand jury got high marks from, Trump, the target of the investigation himself.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) on Wednesday lit into his Republican colleagues who visited jailed January 6th rioters in prison.

While discussing Republicans' complaints about Washington D.C.'s handling of violent crime, Raskin torched them for their hypocrisy in lauding the same people who launched a violent assault on the United States Capitol in the name of former President Donald Trump.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough profanely bashed Donald Trump and his Republican defenders for celebrating Jan. 6 insurrectionists as heroes.

The former president showed a video of jailed rioters singing a song, "Justice for All," and the national anthem during a campaign rally in Waco, Texas, and Trump defended them and raged against "thug" prosecutors -- and the "Morning Joe" host tried to imagine if anyone else had done something similar.

A new CNN report details secret back channel talks between House Republicans and Donald Trump in which the former president exerts pressure on his congressional allies to do his bidding.

According to CNN's sources, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has emerged as House Republicans' point person for keeping Trump informed of their assorted investigations, and she recently promised the former president that the caucus would offer an "aggressive" response to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's potential indictment of him for his 2016 hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

CNN national security analyst Juliette Kayyem pushed back against critics of transgender people following Monday's school shooting in Nashville.

During a Tuesday panel discussion on CNN, host Don Lemon noted that it was unusual to have the shooter, 28-year-old Audrey Hale, identify as a transgender person.

The FBI on Monday released internal documents the agency kept on former President Donald Trump’s first wife, Ivana Trump, Bloomberg News reports.

The files were classified as “Secret,” the report said.

On June 22nd, 2021, then-freshman United States Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) filed House Resolution 3960 to abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, alleging that the agency was in cahoots with President Joe Biden to strip American citizens of their right to bear arms.

"The ATF's ongoing, unconstutional [sic] attacks on the Second Amendment must end," Greene's office stated of the Brian A. Terry Memorial Eliminate the ATF Act, which went nowhere because Democrats controlled both chambers of Congress. The typo still appears on Greene's website.

A Tennessee official on Monday attributed the school shooting in Nashville that left at least seven people dead — including three children — to a “sick gun culture that we’re living in.”

Speaking by phone to CNN’s Bianna Golodryga and Boris Sanchez, State Senator Heidi Campbell (D), whose district includes Nashville, said her “stomach dropped to the floor” when she first learned of Monday’s shooting that occurred at The Covenant School, a Christian private, according to The Metro Nashville Police Department.

In the immediate aftermath of a school shooting in Nashville that left at least seven people dead including three children, Marjorie Taylor Greene blamed Joe Biden, Democrats, and gun control advocates.

The shooting happened at Covenant School, a Christian private school, The Metro Nashville Police Department said. The suspect, a 28-year-old Nashville woman, was fatally shot by police, The Associated Press reports.

The violent inclinations of Christian Nationalism supporters have reached “troubling” levels, according to a report at Religious Dispatches, a daily non-profit online magazine covering religion, politics and culture.

“A stunning 40 percent of Christian nationalism supporters believe that ‘true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.’” the report notes, citing from a recent PPRI/Brookings Institution study.

In December Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) casually mentioned to podcaster Steve Bannon that the Republican caucus has split up into what she called the "Five Families" and then added, "You know my reference.”

As The New Republic's Timothy Noah noted, that comment was an admission that Republicans are proudly comparing themselves to the Mob, in particular the division of territories by the Mafia identified in congressional hearings in 1963.
