What in the Ezra Klein is this post
President Trump’s recent statements accusing Democratic lawmakers of making “seditious” comments to military and intelligence community members have ignited a free speech debate.

For those who don't really follow the Dodgers, think of Andrew Friedman as baseball Sam Presti.
Obviously, I hope Walter pursues the actual Presti (or a Brad Stevens). But I would actually trust Friedman to run the Lakers over Pelinka. That's how much smart/adaptable he is.

Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
NYT isn’t worth reading because they are in the bag for Trump

the one part of this awful video I found inspiring is the moment when the cam pans back and you see an array of upstanding Americans with their smartphones out filming these gutter thugs. that's really the symbol of the opposition. the smartphone and its embedded video cam.
Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

The Department of Homeland Security falsely claimed people were firing fireworks at them. Instead, it was their own flashbacks on video, the judge said.

Federal officials claimed protesters had shields with nails in them, but they actually just had cardboard. They claimed a protester threw a bike at them, but they actually threw the bike. And they claimed that a protester ripped a man’s beard off but … no proof

Walter/Guggenheim was eventually going to clean house - though it stings seeing Joey and Jesse go.
My main concern now is there's a power vacuum for Jeanie, Pelinka, and Rambus to fill. I'm worried about how much leeway Walter gives to Pelinka/Rambus in building out the new scouting department.

Underrated thing that's been flying under the radar: ICE's hiring spree, by necessity since there are so few others willing and able, has been hiring away local cops, which infuriates the departments by causing manpower problems and is, ironically, removing the worst of the worst from their ranks.
The more local police see ICE assholes as criminals, the better it will be for us.
ICE employee among 16 men arrested in Bloomington sex trafficking sting, police say.
"When he was arrested, he said, 'I'm ICE, boys,'" Hodges said during a press conference Tuesday. "Well, unfortunately for him, we locked him up."
