Kessler never did the good version of what a fact checker is supposed to do. He wanted to be a player, not a referee
Now-departed Washpost factchecker @glennkessler.bsky.social didn't give politicians Pinocchios if they admitted they were wrong.
That didn't always achieve the intended result, as this telling anecdote will demonstrate.

If it was done in defiance of a judges order the technical term for that is "illegal" which means it's not an arrest and deportation - which require those conducting it to at least presume they are acting within the law - but a kidnapping and human trafficking

The great Clarence Clemons would have turned 83 today.
In his eulogy, Springsteen wrote: “Together, we told an older, richer story about the possibilities of friendship that transcended those I’d written in my songs .. he made me feel, and think, and love, and dream big.”
“Badlands” (1978) #RIP

i think it is very cool that the political press was basically uninterested in the fact that vance is openly adjacent to/pals around with far-right and Nazi-sympathetic maniacs
To those asking, here's Vance's comments.
When news broke that the terrorist in Germany was a Saudi immigrant, Vance implied blame on all immigrants/Muslims.
When it came out that the attacker was an Elon Musk fan, AfD supporter, and anti-Islam, Vance defended AfD.
He's said nothing else about it.

Musk has made himself the most powerful person in US politics and he is openly friendly with people who talk about needing to solve the “Jewish question” and regularly discuss the generic inferiority of nonwhite races. He constantly promotes race science and has for years. And no one talks about it
