I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

LAPD Shot At A Party Then Improperly Used A Search Warrant To Investigate A Shooting Victim
LAPD’s community policing program avoided scrutiny for a shootout a month before the program became its own bureau. Data revealed search warrant practices were leading to untraceable warrants.

There are stakes here, as well.
A party that runs on “strong floors, no ceilings,” does not immediately start investigating war crimes.
It pretends that ICE and the weaponized DOJ are fine, actually, because focus group results show swing voters don’t like thinking about that stuff.
