Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

seeing people (americans) be kind of blown away by the fact that the martial law solders in korea were armed and yet, as far as we know, not a single person was shot and it's really making me realize how conditioned we are to accept fatal violence against our own citizens as a foregone conclusion.
