They were talking about Brett Ratner, who stood next to Melania Trump to celebrate the premiere of Melania, his eponymous documentary about the First Lady.

Very good and persuasive analysis of the wrongful and illiberal arrests of two journalists by the US federal government.
Don Lemon and Georgia Fort have been released.
But the procedural history now emerging is unusual. Before the arrests, a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause to arrest them. The government appealed anyway.
Here’s why that matters—and what it signals more broadly.
