To everyone I know who works at a media outlet covering national news:
The primary headline on your website today, or in-print tomorrow, really ought to be:
Trump: 'We took the freedom of speech away'
If it's not, I'd like an explanation why not.

Agreed. Any outlet that framed its coverage of Bondiβs hearing with a headline like that needs a new editor-in-chief. I spent much of my life writing headlines for newspapers and magazines, and itβs quite obvious the hed should be something like βBondi evades questions, insults Senatorsβ

Miller is lying in order to get you (and βlow-info votersβ) to give up. Without surrender, Miller and the rest of the regime got nothing. They believe you will believe their lies and conquer yourself. But they canβt conquer you if you donβt believe them.

Why isnβt the National Guard invading Mar-A-Lago? Iβve heard people are murdered there every night. And since, per Rep. Moore below, a spurious accusation is all thatβs needed to invade, we should send in the troops. Iβm sure Mar-A-Lago will be happy with the outcome. Right, Riley?

Why is the National Guard not invading Mar-A-Lago? Iβve heard people are murdered there every night. And since apparently a spurious accusation is all thatβs needed for an invasion, we should send troops in there immediately. Right, Riley?

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.
They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

To Stephen Miller: If you can't see that since youβve taken office, there's been an organized, systemized campaign to delegitimatize, dehumanize, threaten, impede, obstruct, and physically assault LAWFUL US CITIZENS, then I can't persuade you of it. But Iβll damn sure call you out on it EVERY TIME.

Trump's invasion
This weekend marked a major escalation of his campaign of terror.
"Simply put, one state cannot invade another. This is something so central to American democracy that you donβt even need some sort of legal explanation as to the underpinnings."
