What is developmental editing, and why does your scholarly manuscript need it?

Possibly they'll give the Joker this line in the next Batman film for the moment after he murders an innocent. Few will recall it as a quote from a federal official gloating over killing an American.
In response to a quote tweet of DHS that says “you guys killed an American citizen,” Greg Bovino replies: “Triggered much?”

If they're blocked from conducting legally sanctioned oversight by 25 armed ICE officers, they need to go back with 50 U.S. marshals. They can't just fucking give up and say "oh well, guess we're not allowed to do our jobs".
Morrison: "We were met when we came up to the gates of the ICE facility with a phalanx of about 25 armed officers who were quite menacing in their approach. So to suggest 3 members of Congress who were there unarmed to conduct oversight is somehow an inflammatory action is patently untrue."

I was puzzled for a moment about why DHS would release the phone footage from the murderer's point of view, since it clearly shows that the murderer was in no danger from the victim.

Hard to think of a better example of the Streisand effect than Johnson stopping a plaque from going up resulting in 100 plaques going up.
Over 100 members of Congress have mounted replicas of a plaque honoring the police officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the January 6th insurrection outside their offices -- because House Speaker Mike Johnson has disgracefully refused to install the official one.
