at least to the vast majority of people who will never occupy these spaces. Certainly all this should be contextualized & no one should be letting the liberal justices off the hook. But saying "there's no story" just emphasizes how little scrutiny this world has received

the more I look at this the worse it seems—is there an alternative read here that I'm missing?

Maybe I’m being too critical here or there’s context missing, but this reads like ... the senate majority leader asking the attorney general for political help in an upcoming election. Not great!

It is genuinely beyond me how Christopher Wray still continues to dodge any responsibility for the FBI's truly catastrophic failure on Jan 6

People often confuse requirements for criminal culpability w standards by which to evaluate moral/political accountability. The difficulty of proving corrupt intent shouldn’t let Trump off the hook, unless we accept DOJ as the arbiter of moral acceptability (which we shouldn’t)

I'd seen the footage of Fanone being pulled into the crowd before, but never the video of him being dragged back by other officers—who are standing above his body, screaming for a medic, telling him to hang on. incredibly upsetting.

I am increasingly wondering whether the strategy here is simply to be as outrageous as possible and thus build MAGA celebrity as a backstop against whatever bar discipline may be imposed at the end of this

lol I missed that Musk said banning Trump amplified him. Not only is this not true, existing research on deplatforming suggests that the tactic generally doesn't backfire in that way

"Banning Trump from Twitter didn't end Trump's voice. It amplified it among the Right." It was "morally wrong and flat out stupid".
