A man in the US state of New Mexico has pleaded guilty to helping a defeated Republican candidate carry out drive-by shootings at the home of Democrats.
The defendant, Demetrio Trujillo, says the candidate, Solomon Peña, hired him after failing to win a seat in the state legislature in November 2022.
Over the following weeks, the residences of several Democratic officials were attacked in Albuquerque.
One of the things to be careful about is the “they’re all equally bad” fallacy.

OAN is not a news organization at ll. Fox reports actual news, but always gives priority to propaganda. CBS and ABC aren’t terrible, but are far more concerned with ratings than news. NBC is similar, but they chase a more liberal audience.
NPR, PBS, and the BBC are all quite good about doing honest journalism. Start there if you want to know what it actually going on. Then cross-check it against other sources.
