Unprincipled and weak. The murder of journalists is perhaps the single most direct violation of the right to freedom of speech. (1/2)
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The American people elected us to deport violent criminals and gang members. Here’s why we’re spending their tax dollars on blocking new citizens’ ability to vote.

The ADL has made an alliance with MAGA. Once you understand that, it's otherwise inexplicable moves make sense.
It took the ADL like four days to respond to Nick Fuentes breaking into the mainstream last week

Awful: Trump's $230 million shakedown from DOJ can be paid to him confidentially at first, without the public ever finding out about it until later, Rep Jamie Raskin tells me.
Raskin will formally demand full communications between WH and DOJ on this.

Trump’s Vile New $230 Million Shakedown of DOJ Just Got Even Worse
It’s bad enough that Trump wants—and DOJ will likely fork over—this tribute payment. Now, get this: It can probably be done at first without even being revealed publicly.

ICE's military raids and masked kidnappings are resonating deeply/negatively in the cultural spaces we keep hearing Dems need to reach: Manosphere, Joe Rogan, country music, disengaged voters. That's rare and it gives Dems a big opening to engage.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit
A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

From roles in “Better Call Saul,” “Hacks,” and “Palm Royale,” Carol Burnett is having something of a late-career resurgence. But the 92-year-old comedy legend has already influenced generations of performers. Rachel Syme Profiles the icon.

The ninety-two-year-old comedy legend has influenced generations of performers. In a string of recent TV roles, she has been co-starring with some of her closest comedic heirs.
