Guam National Guard troops marched to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene s office in the U.S. Capitol after she suggested last month that Guam is a foreign country.

Military family advocates are worried that some beneficiaries dropped from the Defense Department s Tricare Select health program in January won t know they don t have health coverage until they go see a doctor.
These beneficiaries working-age military retirees and their family members who were enrolled in the Tricare Select health program last year failed to set up payment plans for enrollment fees introduced Jan. 1, leaving them without access to comprehensive health care coverage under Tricare.

It s understandable that famous socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be terrified when pro-Trump rioters were raging at the Capitol on January 6. But AOC s backers in the Fact Checker community are fiercely editorializing on her behalf and putting the facts somewhere in the background. They weren t going to check on AOC s charge that Ted Cruz was trying to get me killed.
They were going to defend AOC after her dramatic Instagram Live video had been viewed by millions and became a sympathetic top story on the network evening news shows.

I’ve never seen Snopes read like a left-wing news site more so than in their latest defense of AOC and her harrowing but phony tale of how she was about to die at the hands of insurrectionists sent to find her by Ted Cruz.
Here’s how it starts:
In the aftermath of the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took to Instagram Live on Feb. 1, to relay her personal account of how the events of that day had traumatized her.
One theme covered in her retelling of those events was how her past experiences with trauma, particularly surviving sexual assault, had compounded her fear during and after the Capitol riot.
AOC Tells Rachel Maddow She Couldn t Tell Good Cops From the Bad During Capitol Riot AOC to Rachel Maddow I Couldn t Tell the Good Cops from the Bad . During Capitol Insurrection Play video content I M STILL SHAKEN MSNBC
There were Capitol police who were nothing less than heroic trying to contain the January 6 insurrection, and there were other Capitol cops who were up to no good . so says Rep.
Rachel Maddow s show, and talked somewhat obliquely about the terror she felt during the failed coup.
Her account is bone-chilling . These acts of great heroism, even within Capitol Police and within Congressional staff, etc, that were juxtaposed with acts of great betrayal by people in those same ranks.
