Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has β€œplenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the β€œplenary authority” comment edited out.

Translation: if you are a republican who is involved in an insurrection, you cannot be investigated. The FBI director is offering a pass to republican politicians who are involved in potentially criminal activity.

Post Traumatic Disorder Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing β€œintellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pagesβ€”but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Canada is benefiting from the exodus but I feel bad for them really, leaving friends and family behind and likely taking less pay to boot. Though I'm sure they'll find it a little more peaceful to live up North.
