I had to check to see if this was real. It’s only the start of a tweet, but it’s real.
And the rest of the tweet isn’t better because they’re lying about there being any threat.
This is about the viral video you’ve probably seen with the drive-by pepper spray.

It’s a serious problem that our government can respond to this video and claim that we didn’t see what we all saw.

A federal judge that the Trump admin's policy targeting pro-Palestinian students for deportation violated the First Amendment.
His blistering, 161-page ruling starts with a threat he received in chambers and his response.

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

The director of FBI reports they released their person of interest following an interrogation. There is no shooter in custody.
Many seasoned FBI agents have left the bureau in recent months. It's unclear if that is causing difficulty.

A little in the weeds, but I think it’s notable that Kavanaugh’s “racial profiling is OK if Mister Trump wants it” opinion is a concurrence, and none of the other conservatives joined it. Even Clarence Thomas was like “Look I’m down with the result but I’m not putting my name to that dogshit.”
Said it before and I'll say it again: I do not think a legal profession that venerates the Supreme Court has a clear way of dealing with a Supreme Court justice as dumb as Brett Kavanaugh. This is the jurisprudential equivalent of him writing his name at the top in crayon with the "E" backwards.
This is a paragraph Brett Kavanaugh wrote on his little computer and then sent out into the world:

It's not the most important part of the issue but Kavanaugh saying "well they should just sue if they're the victims of excessive force from ICE" when he himself has previously voted to bar lawsuits against federal officers for violations of the 4th Amendment in immigration cases takes chutzpah.

I'm just saying, if any Democratic politician wanted to become the de facto leader of the Party and a media hero, a shoo-in for the 2028 nomination, they might try climbing a wall and climbing in a window at USAID like the Korean politicians did last year. Great photo op.
