And that is what true autocracy looks like. matched

And so we're a bulwark here. matched

And so not saying anything is even worse because then we end up in an administration or a regime really where Trump has achieved what he wants because he successfully quashed any dissent. matched

And that doesn't leave us any more safe. matched

And so while this might be a dangerous and difficult position, you can speak to that more than anybody at this point. matched

Look, the sad part is I wasn't surprised. matched

It kind of feels like a matter of time, the fact that Trump is going down this list. matched

I mean, he started with Letitia James and James Comey, and Adam Schiff is on there, and then he moves over to Tim Walz and Jacob Fry, and he's arrested judges, and we've seen Padilla get arrested. matched

It was the biggest story probably in the world. matched

How bizarre that even while you're in there, you have no idea. matched

And you could have very well walked out to one or two people and God knows how many other things could have happened that day that just might have taken all the attention, sucked up all the oxygen. matched
