This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

You realize that you are saying we're living in an insane dictatorship, right? You realize how crazy it is to say that a governor has to show respect for the president or the people in her state will be punished, right?

It’s crucial in this utterly lawless and corrupt administration that we recognize the people who acted with integrity and remember, forever, those who did not.
One of the AUSAs put on administrative leave by this letter is Hagan Scotten, my former Hogan Lovells colleague. I am not surprised that he would risk his job for his convictions; he has some of the strongest personal integrity of anyone I've worked with.
Read the letter from Emil Bove, acting deputy attorney general, accepting the resignation of Danielle R. Sassoon, Manhattan’s acting U.S. attorney, over her refusal to drop the case against Mayor Eric Adams.
