This is 100% correct.
Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

"The Washington Post repeatedly reached out to the White House for the arrest records undergirding their statistics and has not received answers to questions about the specific details of each arrest."

On Trump’s order, dozens arrested daily in D.C. The details are hidden.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to tout the progress of the operation — progress that, without publicly available arrest data, is difficult to measure.

There was a time when American presidents lectured Putin and made him look small. Now, it's the other way around.

This is a defensive, 10-post thread from an NYT boss, and the only thing it truly illuminates is the need for the Times to bring an independent journalist back into the role of public editor.

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

At this point it's not even just that they're lying, it's that the lies are so insultingly obvious. This is up there with "no, the details of an imminent airstrike weren't classified" and "we have no way of getting abductees back from the guy we're paying to house them."

Furthermore, to use the phrase “He’s never coming back” two days before Easter seems targeted at believers.

Put aside the lies and the open defiance of the Supreme Court, as well as the cruelty, and ask yourself: who talks like this? This is the *official* account of the *White House* - is it being run by a six year old?
