ICYMI, yesterday I ran down several examples of federal officers who violated state laws being prosecuted. Yes it would likely be removed to federal court. Yes there would be claims that the officer was discharging his duties. So what. If you don't prosecute now you've given ICE practical immunity.
ICE Agents Can Be Charged With Murder - The American Prospect
As a killing in Minneapolis is documented, the law clearly stipulates that federal agents do not have universal immunity.

The House margin is now down to 218-213. Three GOP votes needed to move Democratic legislation.
Two Republicans serving have already voted for impeachment in 2021.

The NYT, as currently constituted, is perfectly designed to make itself the victim of every major backlash to a major social media driven movement.
First, they got hit hard by the anti-Woke backlash b/c they did Woke stupidly, now they get hit by the anti-MAGA backlash b/c they sucked up to Trump.

This is a nice addition to the "bad Cold War ideas" file — nukes that would detonate themselves at full yield "in the event the carrier and/or crew fell prey to the enemy defense." Never adopted as far as I know... from a Sandia study of nuclear safety issues, 1959.

Republics are already unusual, rare, beautiful things, historically speaking. A republic composed of some small sliver of every country, people, language and culture is an even more wondrous, special thing. And to have it have succeeded so remarkably.

tl;dr: “we are super-thin skinned would-be authoritarians who don’t know how to keep our mouths shut, so we just want to make sure you know that doing things like this really gets to us, and makes us overreact.”
This is the logical and inevitable conclusion of the last decade of elite media "free speech" discourse.

The thing about all these right-wing institutions—from Fox to Truth Social to this faux-university—is that they subsist entirely on parasitic criticism of leftists & things the left has built. Without the host body, they are nothing. They can't build, they can't create, they can only whine.

You’ve got to assume that any real organised crime or terror groups in the US know the FBI isn’t tracking them as closely as they used to.
That could be very bad indeed – and if so, you can expect to see the clips of congressional testimony like today’s many, many times.

Kinda wild that the organization the FBI considers the biggest domestic threat is ... largely imaginary.
