A man was shot and killed while attempting to enter Mar‑a‑Lago carrying a shotgun. Reports describe him as white, Christian, a Trump supporter — not trans, not a Democrat, and not an immigrant. Accounts say he believed in Trump and became desperate after economic hardship that left him crushed. The narrative emphasizes his political and cultural identity alongside financial despair as central to understanding the incident. The framing rejects common stereotypes about attackers’ backgrounds and urges seeing economic collapse and political allegiance as key factors. H/t @krassenstein for the initial reporting and image link. Further official details remain under investigation.

The Pentagon has warned President Trump that military plans to strike Iran carry serious risks, cautioning that an extended campaign could cause heavy U.S. and allied casualties, deplete critical air-defense munitions, and strain U.S. forces. General Dan Caine and other senior leaders have pressed those concerns in internal meetings, noting that options range from limited strikes to a prolonged aerial campaign that might prompt broad Iranian retaliation against U.S. troops, regional bases and allies. Officials say allies are hesitant to provide basing, evacuations and bolstered defenses are underway, and Mr. Trump has not yet decided on action, according to officials. (wsj.com)
