@404mediaco As somebody who spent a lot of 2025 speaking out at town halls and other meetings just like this, this could have been me.
It could be you.
@404mediaco @Netux oof. They're not fucking around.
@404mediaco I wanted to check if this is a misleading headline.
Sadly paywalled. *sigh*
Not that I would be surprised if that was really all there is to it.
Addendum, what makes it sus:
"Police arrested him when [sic!] he went a few seconds over his time limit."
It says "when", not "because". The headline reads "for speaking too long". So the question is what else happened there.
@404mediaco The Capital Police should have done that with Pam Bondi when she gave "non-responsive" answers. She intentionally wasted Congress' time to avoid oversight, which is her duty to support.
@404mediaco Auditioning for ICE?
@404mediaco Thwse police appear to be black-shirts.
