You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.

Masked Terror
"There is something particularly menacing about being attacked by faceless people. The mask not only terrorizes the victim of the attack, but it also uniquely empowers the perpetrator:"

![Republicans raise concerns about ICE officers being “doxed.”[xiv] But “doxing” has never been understood to include seeing the face or learning the name of a state officer. Measures may be undertaken to protect online access to the home addresses of some federal officers in sensitive roles, as many are advocating for judges who are increasingly living under physical threat because of incendiary rhetoric coming from Trump and his supporters. But concealing their identity is not a constitutional solution.
We have every right to know the identity of those officers are who are abducting migrants and U.S. citizens from our streets, and under whose authority they are purporting to act. Officers of the state should be proud to identify themselves as such. When they are not, it is a warning flag for democracy.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xhhmvqp5twepnofrvvz7lcjd/bafkreiabu42orm7622fudzzkwk2vnq34fzb2gpvjreykohxsxsg5sjqbeq@jpeg)

Covered countless press conferences in 20+ yrs in journalism. I've seen critics, including elected officials, show up to question/confront speakers. I've never seen anything like this in response.
Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:
“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

Unparalleled crimes & constitutional violations happening on an hourly basis, right in front of us. A total, unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis, unlike anything we've ever seen before in 🇺🇸 history. The constitutional order is non-operative right now. Complete failure.
Once again, these guys don't believe in the rule of law and they are willing to go to pretty extraordinary lengths to make Trump a king, in effect. Congress must assert their rightful authority over spending.

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse.
Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

@cnbc.com Joe Kieran and Rick Santelli have always been a Republican cheerleaders on the channel, as opposed to reporting news. However, this morning’s performance was over the top.

Not sure why media organizations refer to an "anti-DEI push" when what is happening is racist, sexist censorship and suppression of free speech. If we don't call it what it is, it'll continue to slip under the radar. Same with the administration's alleged "concerns about anti-Semitism."
