I’m just a small-town academic, but it seems to me that arrests should be handled by uniformed officers with visible name tags, badge numbers, and faces.

Rep. Himes: “As far as I can tell, we are now on team Kremlin. We vote with them and against our allies in the UN. We humiliate President Zelensky in the Oval Office. The president's chief Russia negotiator, Steve Witkoff, is repeating Russian talking points.”

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Most discussion about the societal impacts of digital media focuses on the rise of smartphones and social media, but I think that’s simultaneously an incomplete explanation, and one that lumps together benign/positive use of digital technologies with the more problematic.
