"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.

In a nutshell:
— The Espionage Act contains a provision that criminalizes the disclosure of national secrets through gross negligence.
— The law does not require that the info be classified, it refers simply to national defense information.
Arrest them. Immediately.

Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.
Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.
Yet another reason he must be rejected.
