We have reached the point where any statement made by a Trump administration official must be assumed to be a lie until proven otherwise.

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

Don’t you think we should make it easier for more healthcare workers to live closer to the hospitals? Your health depends on it.

Word.
When a country with the world's strongest military, including nuclear weapons, puts a mentally deranged person in charge, it threatens the safety of the entire planet. The election of Trump was one of the most reckless acts in human history.

Very much this. And it’s not just Jentleson and Searchlight, it’s Dem electeds in general: @markwarner.bsky.social is calling for *more training* for ICE agents. As if lack of training is the reason they’re behaving as an occupying army.
The fundamental problem with Jentleson's anaysis—which is indicative of the problem with Searchlight's approach in general—is that he's treating ICE as if it were a law enforcement agency under civilian control in a stable democratic polity.
This isn't a left-right ideological issue. But it blows me away that anyone who is actually anti-Trump would think running back Joe Biden/Merrick Garland 2.0 will work the second time. No political party can tolerate a very large, armed secret police force committed to murdering its voters.

While we’re here, bye bye Jason Miyares, who was in reality the critical figure in letting Trump’s DOJ push out Ryan and not defending UVA over the last year. Miyares sucks, apparently isn’t a good lawyer, and I hope that we never hear from him again, though I’m sure we will.
