Connect the dots. MAGA is pulling out all the stops to intimidate Judge Boasberg for looking into Bove contempt of court, which should disqualify him. Two Trump judges delayed the contempt hearing long enough for Bove to get confirmed by obsequious Senate. Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

They know that SCOTUS is very likely to overturn the 14th amendment, which definitionally means that overturning the 14th amendment is a reasonable thing to do, which means they need to start preemptively constructing justifications for it now, to show how reasonable and sensible they are.

The Trump administration has reacted to a small scale lone wolf attack by in DC announcing a sweeping collective punishment, using the organs of government to heap blame on partisan rivals, and potentially dissuading anyone from collaborating with US forces abroad for a generation.

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern. They had misidentified the intern.

There has never been a clearer signal that America is not a country, it's just a business. And that there are no red lines when there is enough money on the line. End-stage capitalism knows no bounds in its pursuit and sycophantic courting of power and wealth.

This is not to pile on the new Ed Board. This is to question their business model. You can get this take almost verbatim from a dozen more established sources: FNC, the WSJ Op-Ed, the NYP ed board, plus even outlets not owned by Murdoch. So why would anyone pay the WP for it?

60 Minutes Edits Donald Trump Telling Them 60 Minutes Should Edit Donald Trump Talking About How 60 Minutes Paid Him For Editing Kamala Harris
60 Minutes is under new management and things are getting stupid faster than you might expect. Last night’s episode featured President Trump, which is currently being described as “nuts.” There are all sorts of crazy moments to call out, but let’s start with the recursively meta nonsense. 60 Minutes edited out a segment where Donald Trump tells them to edit out a segment in which he brags about getting CBS to pay him because of them editing out part of an answer by Kamala Harris, and he notes that CBS clearly did the wrong thing in editing Harris in the same fucking sentence he tells them to edit out what he’s saying.
