That's the longstanding red-blue, rural-urban political deal of it. Like how they're getting nuked by the trade war, they are cannibalizing their own coalition.

I agree, don't fire the first shot. But I think there's a qualitative difference between initiating violence and not backing down from a confrontation that certainly seems inevitable

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.
Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

But also it makes sense if their intent is to abuse the fuck out of the pardon power
If Trump lives to the end of his presidency, I suspect he's going to resign and accept a pardon from President Vance
