More or less lost in the dust from the beating Trump took at the hands of the Special Master yesterday, was this little item passed by unanimous consent in the Senate.
There may be some hope that Republicans are starting to find their balls - although it does seem to be a rather timid search effort so far.

Senate Resolution 775
09-20-2022
I've been more than a little critical of the FBI (and other cops as well) on more than a few occasions. I have never advocated for taking violent action against law enforcement at any level, and I never will.
That said, of course, if it turns out the cops are actually the bad guys, and they're aggressively attacking me and mine, then parameters of the conflict have changed, and the guidance for how to respond may have to change as well.
But the FBI executing a lawful search warrant is not cause to start randomly shooting FBI guys.
We have to remember the founders set this place up after 8 years of armed and bloody conflict, with the intention never to go thru that shit again.
They gave us ways to make the changes we need to make without the need to bash each other over the head with sticks and rocks.
And if we need change, but the system seems rigged against us, we engage in civil disobedience, which requires us to follow a certain process in order to demonstrate the injustice we're protesting.
That's right - we have rules for how you go about breaking the rules. And not one of those rules says it's OK to shoot the cops.
