I don't know who this guy is, but I certainly hope he is okay. That was hard to watch.

I also want to agree with those who noted how bizarre it is that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., seeing a tragedy unfold before him, hauled ass out of the room like George Costanza during a fire.

What a nauseating man.

Do yourself a favor and read through @jonseidel.bsky.social's entire 🧵on this morning's hearing. It's incredible to see the truth about Chicago acknowledged & the rule of law holding firm.

"Ellis also finds that the feds' use of force in Chicago "shocks the conscience."

Ellis is reading the terms into the record. It seems to track her temporary restraining order, barring various uses of force "unless such force is objectively necessary to stop an immediate threat."

There is a compromise on the table to get this deal done and reopen the government while keeping health insurance premiums down. But the sole problem, plain and simple, is Mike Johnson.
