Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

“Outside agitators” is older than Putin; I am begging white people to crack open a history book about Black Americans for once
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Rahm’s anti-left views are held by many center-left elites in media and politics. And he is pretending to run for president in 2028 (doubt he actually runs because he knows his odds are very low.) So interviewing him can be framed as “news” and he bluntly makes anti-left points centrists agree with.
Stop trying to make Rahm Emanuel happen. It’s not going to happen.
Trump is unpopular, but how do Democrats frame their arguments for a comeback?

Just a reminder that Bovino IS NOT a political appointee. He is just a regular government employee. Yet he acts as if he can not and will not ever face personal consequences for any federal or state crime he is involved in. He attacks democratic politicians. Again. Not allowed. But here we are.
BASH: Where did he assault an officer? It looked to us that he was approached by them when he was helping another individual who was pushed down
BOVINO: We don't need a suspect's help in a law enforcement scene
BASH: So when somebody is pushed down, you stand back?
BOVINO: Follow directions

"bearing witness to events" literally just means recording what is happening so it cannot be elided or erased in the future, it does not mean you are required to watch execution videos as some duty, stop letting people who don't understand words tell you what to do

The key test is if Jeff Bezos gets what he wants from the Trump administration with acquisitions and regulatory reviews.
Approximately $35 million has been spent on marketing "Melania," a film documenting the 20 days around Trump's return to the White House, according to a source familiar with the matter. https://cnn.it/4pTNPUl

The depth of his hate for disabled people is and always has been breathtaking. It’s born of an arrogance I’ve rarely seen-he believes that he is some kind of ubermensch, and the only way he could ever become disabled is if some insidious conspiracy did it to him.

One thing about this era I absolutely despise is the Orwellian use of language. Fake News! Hoax! Terrorist!
These fascists do not ever have 1 millisecond of a thought about how they are making things more terrible. No pangs of guilt, no self reflection. It's just their tribe and their enemies.

… Furthermore, according to two other sources with knowledge of the situation, top officials in the Trump White House reminded their federal colleagues in and outside the West Wing that Pretti should be referred to as a “terrorist” in written statements and public messaging, no matter his background
