How long before Pam Bondi starts locking up film reviewers?
The reviews for “Melania” are going to be far more entertaining than the movie. What a fabulous headline:

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.
DEA?!? Gotta be a “task force.”

Now this is a movie review www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...
![The UK's Independent gives the film one star out of five, saying: "[The] First Lady is a preening, scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda ... Hitting cinemas as the streets of America remain filled with the angry and grieving - with the country on the verge of an irreparable schism - the vulgar, gilded lifestyle of the Trumps makes them look like Marie Antoinette skulking in her cake-filled chateau, or Hermann Göring's staring up at his looted Monet."
The publication continued: "The "film" is part propaganda, sure, and part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings. Even then, it is bad. It will exist as a striking artefact - like The Birth of a Nation or Triumph of the Will - of a time when Americans willingly subordinated themselves to a political and economic oligopoly."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tu4d43ehkpc6mg2tlsyepptn/bafkreihekdzwo5ahnlli7chkshunctsvxkrm6npngzw7ehvjmb6mzomyeu@jpeg)

Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope.
It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

The federal presence in Minnesota has been especially tough on our local businesses.
Choosing to shop local, grab takeout, or visit a neighborhood store is one way we can stand with our neighbors and continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.

The snowpack in California stands at just 59% of average for this time of year. Extraordinary warmth has meant that storms bring more rain and less snow.

Ofc, Trump is an incomparably more significant figure than Goodwin (even given that that is hardly an exclusive club). But the basic point that these individuals, each in their different ways grotesque, are both a condition and a consequence of their political cultures is a really important one. 3/3

This is very good, including explaining something that had always puzzled me, namely why Goodwin suddenly became so hostile to, specifically, 'elite universities'. But the far more important insight is what Goodwin's story tells us about our political culture. 1/3
