I can't get over the collective shrug this story is getting. The presumptive @GOP presidential candidate doxxes the Obamas on truth social, posting alleged address. A J6 def retruths it & then drives to address. Secret Service arrest J6er in his van with 2 guns & 100s of rounds/1

Lisa Brooks lived at the Davenport apartment building that collapsed yesterday, following years of residents complaining of structural problems.
