Incredible federal court hearing in Chicago this morning over ICE assaults on the press & protestors. The DOJ lawyers are tying themselves in knots as the video evidence clearly shows ICE intentionally assaulting everyone. Follow @jonseidel.bsky.social for on going updates:
The next witness before U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis is Emily Steelhammer, executive director of the Chicago Newspaper Guild.
Khojasteh challenges Curran on why he didn't say that in a declaration filed with the court.
But their back-and-forth prompts a warning from the judge about talking over people.

It’s so surreal seeing prominent right-wing figures—an influential presidential advisor, the last campaign’s biggest donor, etc.—call for violence, the GOP president lie and stoke violence, every Dem officeholder condemn it, and mainstream media treat those as the same, or the Dem reaction as worse.
These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

I have not seen one Dem politician say anything encouraging or making fun of Kirk's murder. They are all appalled. However, GOP politicians ignore or encourage when Dems get attacked or there are school shootings.

Exactly. Once they admit he’s done one bad thing, there can be no stopping point, as he’s a bottomless pit of moral depravity. And once they step on that slippery slope, they can’t escape their own culpability. So instead they look away, and lie to others—and to themselves.

These long delays in releasing anything are clearly because they’ve tried to scrub the files of Trump stuff, and there’s so much of it that they can’t
What we can discern from this is that, even though the base has willed itself into believing Trump couldn't possibly be in the Epstein files, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino knew full well he's likely all over them.
