For 30 years, Louis Theroux has built a career as a documentarian and interviewer by simply asking questions and allowing people to speak without challenge. It is interesting to note the specific subject matter that has suddenly rendered his heretofore lauded technique as unacceptable malpractice.

The Justice Department indicted six protesters—including Democratic congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh—for allegedly impeding an ICE officer outside a federal immigration facility.
The move is a stunning continuation of Trump’s weaponization of judicial and police power to crush dissent.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

In a recently leaked group chat, it was revealed that a Republican operative named Paul Ingrassia referred to himself as having a “Nazi streak.”
But Ingrassia isn’t just any other MAGA edgelord; he is President Donald Trump’s nominee to head the Office of Special Counsel.
