This is a good example of an important First Amendment principle: an investigation alone can violate the First Amendment, even if it ultimately leads nowhere. Being forced into a (frequently expensive) legal process can chill speech -- and officials can leverage that to their advantage.

Q for those w experience in politics or diplomacy:
Is there *any* other example of a US prez, on US soil, letting a foreign leader control the mic for a very long time, in his own language, w/o consecutive translation, before letting US prez say anything all?
I don't know of any.
Humiliating.

FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”

This afternoon, I told @nicollewallace.bsky.social that I had a sense of “dread” about what might happen in the Alaskan “summit.”
After watching the press conference, that dread has come to life.
I’ll be joining @jenpsaki.msnbc.com later tonight.

I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.
Is that what he is doing? Fighting crime? Phew. I thought he was using federal power to assert power over the country’s capital

It’s incredibly offensive to let a war criminal stand behind a podium with the presidential seal on it.
