A free press is an important tool against a government entity trying to consolidate power. And it's a tool that scales, from local sheriffs to presidents.

State Rep. Angie Nixon: Folks. If we’re going to be a big tent, then damnit we need to be a big tent. We need all hands on deck right now. Trump isn’t going to willingly leave in 2028. We need to send more folks to DC with the political will and courage to stand up to his bullying.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.
