- The only in any way good thing about this is that the vast majority of Americans are utterly disgusted by it. (Although not, polls tell us, a majority of Republicans who are thus revealed as either blissfully ignorant, willfully ignorant, or vicious.) But midterm election still feels too far away.

- Brownshirts are feeling their impunity. And since prosecutors are told to stand down, what do they have to worry about, at least in the medium term? This is why Schumer-style milquetoast ICE funding conditions are completely useless. Only defunding will stop this. February 7, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- More than somewhat worrying about how some commanders would react if push comes to shove--by which I mean the Insurrection Act. February 7, 2026 Michael Froomkin
Speaking of Dan, when was the last time he mentioned your excellent site in WH Briefing…
He had to be pretty desperate on Friday, linking to a Gary David Fine WP op-ed on Bush haters… (I’m sorry, but don’t ask me to take seriously any theories from someone who asks “Why all the hate” then says “Bush’s administration is free of scandals. ” Someone has not been paying attention…
Too much weird news. I can’t wait for this election to be over and the most important decisions that Bush is able to make concern which brushpile to clear and where to hang those nifty silver spurs he got as a gift.
Because I glanced at the headline of this post and immediately thought, “OMG! They’re carting journalists off to Gitmo now?” having seen “Water” and “Treatment” and filling in the “Boarding.” Crawford’s far too good for Bush, he and his cronies should be in the Hague, but I won’t complain when he’s sent packing after the election.
