Breaking on MSNBC: Two top criminal lawyers in the Eastern District of Virginia have been fired: Elizabeth Yusi, the criminal chief, and her deputy Kristin Bird. Both had been involved with Letitia James case and were skeptical of it.

You're not gonna believe this but @cbsnews.com appears to not have a story about some of the largest mass protests in American history anywhere on its main page.

“Deplorables” was a scandal for years and she wasn’t even in the government yet. This is the White House Press Secretary, whose salary is paid by the American public.

Wow.

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

You know Carr has egregiously violated the law because there are signatories to this letter that would never agree with each other on where to go for lunch.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

The FBI is weighing an arrest and perp walk for Comey — and suspended an agent for refusing to help, sources say The FBI is considering carrying out a "showy" arrest and perp walk of the agency's now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, sources tell CBS News.

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

Opinion | The Embarrassing Pete Hegseth The Pentagon needs sober, judicious leadership, not a drama queen who makes things jarring and fevered.

This is a very good column by Peggy Noonan in weekend WSJ.

Keystone Kash Melts Down at Fact Check on Basic FBI Rules The FBI director has fired an official for declining to arrange a perp walk for James Comey, which he’d reportedly fantasized would be carried out by “large, beefy” agents.

Patel reportedly fired one of his agents for refusing to arrange a “perp walk” for former FBI Director James Comey.

Where are those "free speech warriors" who misleadingly insisted Biden was censoring people now that the Trump admin is openly doing so?

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

ABC hopes to bring Jimmy Kimmel back, but temperature needs to be taken down under FCC threats | CNN What played out before Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s show and what comes next.

New reporting from CNN's Elizabeth Wagmeister: "ABC hopes to bring Jimmy Kimmel back, but temperature needs to be taken down under FCC threats"

free speech for me, but not for thee

What America is going through is not unusual in historical terms. Plenty of examples like it today elsewhere in the world.
What makes it unusual is the rapid collapse from a set of widely espoused norms and values that centered on liberty. It is the sacking of the shining city on hill that shocks.

This is not something that could happen in the U.S.

It is actually *happening*

Here’s the deal. Regardless of what Kimmel said, ABC made this decision only in response to an overt threat from the government. That’s not how America is supposed to work.

The government isn’t supposed to control who gets to talk.

Never stop the ridicule for one second.

WAPO: “.. The crisis is as obvious as it is grave .. Billionaires are accelerating their efforts to consolidate control over media platforms and the president is eager to help them do so, provided they shut down his critics.”

MAGA, if you wouldn't prosecute Charlie Kirk for saying it, don't talk about prosecuting anyone else for saying it. www.thebulwark.com/p/charlie-ki...

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrosim is far-right was disappeared.

Memory-holed.

Going to watch this classic over the weekend and mourn both Robert Redford and The Washington Post. Democracy dies in darkness indeed.

This is a fair point.

trump's government (SC) 2018: A private business had a freedom of speech right to refuse to make a cake for a gay wedding.

trump's government today: As a private business, if you refuse to print flyers for a racist shit stirrer we can prosecute you.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences.

The modern American right in 2025, folks.

Ok, so…

Saying extremely racist, anti-Jewish things anywhere you want is a matter of free speech.

But if a person put quotation marks around the same words and adds the name of the original speaker, that’s cause for instant termination.

Do I have this right?

I just heard some brain cells die while reading this
