Think about the repercussions: people could be wrongly convicted.

And remember that Trump pardoned and commuted the sentences of Jan. 6th extremists convicted of seditious conspiracy.
For Trump, attacking the U.S. Capitol on his behalf isn’t sedition, but encouraging fidelity to the U.S. Constitution is.

Judge Ellis’s ruling is a necessary response to the Trump admin’s repeated violations of her previous temporary restraining order. To be clear: the admin's tactics in the Chicago area are from the authoritarian playbook—a deliberate, nationwide campaign to suppress dissent and neutralize opposition.

60 Minutes is under new management and things are getting stupid faster than you might expect. Last night’s episode featured President Trump, which is currently being described as “nuts.” There are all sorts of crazy moments to call out, but let’s start with the recursively meta nonsense. 60 Minutes edited out a segment where Donald Trump tells them to edit out a segment in which he brags about getting CBS to pay him because of them editing out part of an answer by Kamala Harris, and he notes that CBS clearly did the wrong thing in editing Harris in the same fucking sentence he tells them to edit out what he’s saying.
