The analogy is precise. And the White House response was nasty and disingenuous. This will be a major test of the courts – I think that they will pass it; but it is fundamental. I’ll have an article up on this at @thenewrepublic.bsky.social shortly plus a longer Substack on @talkingfeds.bsky.social
Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

BEWARE: Secret/private thugs dragged & assaulted an Idaho woman (American citizen) who asked a question about protecting women's lives during a local Town Hall meeting. This could easily come to a venue near you. Be ready. Thank you @thenewrepublic.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/1919...
This Shocking Moment at a GOP Town Hall in Idaho Is a Foreboding Sign
Private, unidentified security personnel dragged a woman out of the event. It raises questions not just about tolerance for dissent but about who gets deputized to do what.

The GOP passed a budget resolution last night that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Why? To finance tax cuts for the top 1%.
We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.
