“a curiously varying mixture of gullibility and cynicism with which each member… is expected to react to the changing lying statements of the leaders...”

“mixture of gullibility and cynicism… is prevalent in all ranks of totalitarian movements”:

Hannah Arendt, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘛𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘮

In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and nothing was true… The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness.

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

I'm not sure I can think of anything funnier than using the term "point-blank range" to refer to the throwing of a sandwich.

Dunn’s lawyers have claimed the case is “selective and vindictive prosecution,” arguing he was singled out for prosecution “not because of the nature of his alleged conduct — throwing a soft object that caused no injury — but because his outspoken, viral critique of the current administration’s policing and immigration policies made him a political target.”

Federal prosecutors opposed Dunn’s lawyers’ motion to dismiss the charge, writing that Dunn was “recorded throwing a sandwich at a federal officer at point-blank range.”

Mr. Dunn now travels a path of martyrdom for American freedom that Nathan Hale would surely recognize, and we all regret he had but one sub sandwich to give for his country.
But most vexing is that the American media has failed miserably to fully report the story.

What kind of sandwich was it?

Johnson would respond to this question with a snarky answer, of course

But that shouldn’t stop them from asking

Because exposing his contempt for the press-and by extension the American people-is precisely the point

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 15h

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28.

If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.
