Wrote a short thing about Laura Ingraham's show last night, where she practically begged Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and repeatedly referred to pro-immigrant activists as "insurgents."

The fact that MAGA-media is so intent on demonizing Renee Good shows that the defense of her killing rests on thin ice. To defend the indefensible, the right is going after white women as race traitors.

This reminds me of similar articles about Fox News "straight news" reporters responding to the network's propagandistic coverage of Trump's first term -- eventually they were fired, driven out, or made their peace with what the outlet became.

FOX: Let's talk about the jobs number. Less than expected. How much of a disappointment is that?
HASSETT: Oh, it's not really. The unemployment rate dropped a lot. Because of rounding it's actually a bigger drop that you can see if you only look at the first digit.
