Coming back to this. A lot in this doc that gives away the real intentions/motivations, but this seems to be the crux.

More of a lol, but this seems to be an admission by the administration that they haven't been trying to prevent/end legitimate criminal activity in the first place.
So much for "the party of law and order."

A. I'm pretty sure we already have laws about this stuff.
B. The country is still waiting for hard evidence of "coordination" among left-wing extremists. We've seen criminal coordination of right-wing extremists (Jan 6) and lone wolf right-wing violence after.

This clause is very vague, especially considering that so much of what comes before pertains to speech.
It sounds like if someone made an honest comparison between MAGA and the Nazis –and by honest I mean saying where the metaphor works enough & where it doesn't (it is a far from perfect metaphor)–

I'm sorry, are we explaining Jan 6? Why did so many people who participated in identical actions get let off the hook?
We knew going into this that Trump 2.0 was going to gaslight the country. Even I underestimated how bad they would be at it. Like, at least try to sound halfway truthful. Geez.

No mention of right-wing political violence, despite high profile cases such as the assassination of Rep. Melissa Hortman & her husband. Also, notice anything major missing? JAN 6

Apparently the White House posted this at some point last night and has since removed it.
You should take the time to read; it is deeply alarming. All the 🚩🚩🚩.

People always ask about my backyard #office and want to see what it looks like. I finally took a few minutes and made a video tour so I can show instead of tell. It’s small but cozy.

I have a feeling this is what the looming National Guard deployment to #Memphis, my home, is really all about.
For such a wordy memoranda this “plan” is very light on actual details. But I suppose that’s the point.

Your occasional reminder that our country had the opportunity to elect a qualified woman to the Presidency, one who even warned us about pretty much everything we are seeing now.
Our country chose the 🤡 instead.

This short book is full of stories that blow up the stereotype of the "irrelevant bureaucrat" that so many Americans demonize without just cause.
It should be required reading for every American, especially in light of the assault on public servants we are witnessing:

Forcing companies to raise their prices and preventing them from bringing jobs to the United States —merely so you can feel like you’re “owning the libs”— is bad economic policy.
