in my (our?) aging, i think i've come to respect the original nick lowe/brinsley schwartz more than ec's - a plaintive one versus elvis' edgy version. but i digress.

it's almost as if they want to brand their companies as USG-sponsored - which is an awfully stupid move if they want to retain a global footprint. The closer they are to Trump, the more they will be (even if gradually) excluded from global oppty.
which is fine with me.

when overseas, it's always interesting to watch people slowly wake up to news that happened say eight hours earlier, has already been fully digested by an international audience, and then it starts all over in the US (usually not paying much attn to the foreign discourse).

without more details, i am not saying that this is legally relevant. but it's politically relevant and i am sure there will be lots of reporting about when the US knew (given diplomatic departures, it was at least a day in advance) & what it said in response.

the fact that US was in negotiations over iran’s nuclear program underscores just how much this was not a ‘last resort’ imminent attack kind of scenario.

“If this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question … I can only imagine what they are doing to farmworkers, to cooks, to day laborers throughout the Los Angeles community, and throughout California and throughout the country,” he said.

Her language is strikingly coup-like:
"... liberate the city from the ...leadership [of] this governor and [...] this mayor ..."
Meaning what? Remove them or more likely decapitate their legal authority?
This direct explicit language is literally anti-democratic in nature and intent

all that said, trump's destruction is via an assault on people of color. let's not sugarcoat this. it's not surprising that they went after alex padilla.

so the question for media outlets - not the reporters but the editorial leadership - is whether you recognize the reality and start to use accessible language to explain what's happening.
the question for republicans is whether you're happy with the destruction of american democracy.
