In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Claiming he "assaulted law enforcement" is so obviously belied by the video, which shows no such thing.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

From Tim Walz’s spokesman: Governor Walz wishes that President Trump would be a President for all Americans, but this tragedy isn’t about Trump or Walz. It’s about the Hortman family, the Hoffman family, and the State of Minnesota, and the Governor remains focused on helping all three heal.

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

America is one of those countries where if you host a global sporting event, inclusive messages have to be censored to so as not to anger the central government. In this case the message is “racism is bad” www.nytimes.com/athletic/643...

I don't think anybody's quite gotten to the full Mike Lee story. He rarely talks in hallways, now posts conspiratorial stuff regularly, went from 2016 warning against Trump to working with members of his team ahead of 1/6/21. Lately a cheerleader for nixing NATO, Fed, impeaching judges, etc.

One of my pet peeves is how we use the word "ally" loosely in DC. It should only mean states to which we have a treaty-backed, legally binding mutual defense obligation. Israel is not one of those countries (despite it being popularly and routinely described as an American ally).

This parade was not about the 250th anniversary of the United States Army; it's an expensive birthday party for the Dear Leader. George Washington refused to politicize the Continental Army at this nation's founding, and presidents must sustain that tradition.

Messy: NBC poll overwhelming wants Trump to obey Supreme Court rulings, Reuters poll finds Supreme Court is politically biased in public's view, court has super charged president's power to the point of near kingship and now Trump often stonewalls key decisions.
