Remarkable. Seems pretty clear that someone wanted to make an example of him.
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

This is the new playbook:
Commit misconduct -> claim persecution -> sue the government -> cash out.

If this becomes normalized, every corrupt official will try to hit taxpayers with their legal bills. And yet somehow, almost no one is talking about it.

When I was at Arizona, a colleague teaching a class described this exchange:

Student: Where’s that idea in the textbook?
Colleague: This is from one of my own articles
S [angrily]: You mean you’re just MAKING IT UP?!
C: Do you think textbooks are dug up out of the ground like turnips or something?

After Republicans refused to extend ACA subsidies, 4 Michigan insurers are dropping out of the ACA marketplace altogether. That’s 200,000 Michiganders who just lost their plans.

What Democrats want: a plaque in the U.S. Capitol to honor the January 6 officers.

What Republican senators want: a personal payout of millions of dollars because they were investigated for involvement in January 6.

America has long feared it would suffer the same fate as the Roman republic, but never quite truly appreciated how utterly absurd Roman elites had become by the time of the late republic.
