Let me get this straight. The DOJ is indicting someone who allegedly broke through security with intent to kill leaders including the VP & Speaker of the House. Has EVERYONE forgotten that Trump pardoned convicted felons who stormed broke into the Capitol with intent to kill the VP & Speaker? 1/

 Screenshot of a Public Citizen (@Public_Ci...) tweet reporting that they sued the Trump administration to obtain the secret contract for Trump's White House Ballroom project, finding it provided anonymity for billionaires and corporate donors. The embedded CNN Erin Burnett OutFront video shows an anchor reporting live, with a chyron reading "Secret Contract for Trump's WH Ballroom Revealed After Lawsuit."

Sarah Longwell: Saying that Trump is a bad President who routinely deploys violent rhetoric and is a unique threat to liberal Democracy are appropriate and true statements. We should be full-throated in our condemnation of political violence and violent rhetoric. But we should continue to tell the truth about Trump.

Restating values at a moment like this is fine, but there shouldn't be any hand-wringing. It really is about the right stirring the pot, not the left. Nobody should pretend otherwise for reasons of "journalistic integrity." Integrity is telling the truth regardless of how it's received.

He faked another assassination attempt? He's turning "near-death" into a multi-chapter grift. First one was theater, this one's straight fanfic. Bullets are CGI, wounds are makeup, and the only thing getting assassinated is whatever's left of his dignity. He can't even stage a decent hoax anymore.

Is there someone dead in the lobby or is there someone in custody? Was the person armed or not? Did he make it into the ballroom or not? Usually there should be a pretty wide grace period on finding this out, but there are literally hundreds of reporters in the room and nobody knows shit.

JUST IN: Virginia adopted a new law yesterday to forbid sheriffs & local police from contracting with ICE — if ICE doesn't say it'll follow state laws & agree to let its agents be prosecuted. Everyone seems to agree ICE won't promise that, and that this spells the end of ICE contracts in Virginia.
boltsmag.org
Virginia Bans ICE Contracts, Unless the Feds Agree to Obey the Law. No One Expects Them to.
A new law does not outright bar local contracts with ICE. But they can continue only if ICE accepts due process rules and state courts having power over its officers.
