We knew CNN was bought and paid for. Now they’re brazenly editing interviews, like stripping out the word ‘plenary’ said by little Stephen Miller.

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority”
Historic fascists with plenary authority:
• Adolf Hitler
• Benito Mussolini
• Joseph Stalin
CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. #cdnpoli

Miller oopsie doodled and said the quiet part out loud, talking about DT aka himself having “plenary authority”:

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

if blue state governors and mayors aren't already thinking about the reliability of various police forces nominally under their control, they should start immediately

"While Britain was redefining what a woman is, China was building five nuclear reactors," says Kemi Badenoch.

I cannot be the only person curious about how these two things are related

Would also not have been difficult to purchase the information through ARC, or another data broker (or obtain the information from someone with an active subscription), unfortunately.

Airlines Don’t Want You to Know They Sold Your Flight Data to DHS

A contract obtained by 404 Media shows that an airline-owned data broker forbids the feds from revealing it sold them detailed passenger data.

Happened with my wife’s ticket (not mine) *after we were on the plane* but before the door shut. They threw her* off before the door closed. Insane.

*I got off with her

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

This is probably the best time to be in organized crime since before the repeal of prohibition in 1933. I mean if you wanted to commit high level non-immigrant related crime, now is the time to go hog wild.
