For most of the last decade, our media and political class has panicked over the idea that progressives were intruding on free speech rights by loudly criticizing people with unpopular views.
Anyway, here's far-right federal paramilitaries advertising that they'll rip down pro-immigrant messages.

DC guards were not likely going to be violent towards DC residents (like CA guards were reluctant to harm LA residents). So they are bringing in kids from the red states for what now looks like a de facto occupation which could get even uglier …

Trump’s threat to “federalize” D.C. is nonsensical—D.C. is a federal enclave under Congress’s control, not the president’s.
If Congress doesn't act, it's unclear whether Trump will seize control of the police in 30-day increments for the remainder of his presidency.

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, doctors warned that women would die, but lawmakers who passed state abortion bans didn’t listen. The worst consequences are now becoming clear.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.”
So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.
