Witness intimidation seems the much more natural state of this regime
Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

So, my liberal buds, my progressive pals: you know how you're beginning to realize that ICE (perhaps the whole of DHS?) is structured to allow abuses, riddled with career psychopaths, utterly beyond saving as an institution?

Now, consider, in the spirit of inquiry: the entire federal government

we should proceed with prosecutions with the presumption that the president cannot pardon crimes he ordered to occur while simultaneously advancing court-packing legislation.
It's so cool how we just accept that federal accountability is dead and the president will just pardon any federal crimes as easily as he pardoned everyone for January 6, and we just live with this fact instead of tearing down the rest of the White House around him.
Philidelphia DA Larry Krasner warns ICE: If an agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted in state or federal court and you will do your time. Donald Trump can't pardon you for a state court conviction.

people reasonably concluded that trump was not an existential threat to the republic because biden did absolutely nothing to stop it
strongly believe the I think @theophite.bsky.social claim that the number one way that Biden could have impressed swingy Trump voters was by clapping Trump in irons

I'll say it again the real sin of the gun industry over the last 50 years is in drastically dropping the barrier to entry for a dipshit becoming a credible threat

Being an incorrigible skirt-chaser even when married and possible low-grade sexual harasser? Bad! Not the same as being a pedophile!

Being close with industry lobbyists? Bad! Not the same as taking bribes!

The flattening of grey areas with outright evil is unironically part of why we got Trump.

Seems worth noting at this point that Weiss's internal critics at the Times were correct and her many apologists among elite pundits were wrong

I do not think Anderson Cooper is wealthy enough on his own to bankroll something with the legal and investigative heft of 60 Minutes.

But it would be pretty interesting if he called up a few friends and tried.
