Speaker Johnson tries to draw a ‘clear distinction' between Jan. 6 attack and L.A. unrest
Amid unrest in Los Angeles, Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans have largely stuck to specific talking points, each of which is burdened by the same flaw: The president's pardons for Jan. 6 criminals, including convicted felons who violently clashed with law enforcement. Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, for example, told CNN this past weekend that he has a problem with protesters in California 'attacking law enforcement,' which was a perfectly sensible sentiment. Of course, it naturally led many observers to note that many Jan. 6 rioters went to prison for attacking law enforcement, and the incumbent Republican president gave them all pardons. Around the same time, U.S. Customs and Border Protection used its social media platform to issue a statement that read, 'Let this be clear: Anyone who assaults or impedes a federal law enforcement officer or agent in the performance of their duties will be arrested and swiftly prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Attack a cop, and life long consequences will follow!' FBI Director Kash Patel added in a statement of his own: 'Hit a cop, you're going to jail.' There was nothing wrong with the statements, except for the degree to which they were undercut by Trump's pardons for Jan. 6 rioters. The president himself told reporters this week, 'Nobody's going to spit on our police officers.' Unfortunately for Trump, he put this principle aside while pardoning violent felons who did a lot more than just spit on police officers. It was against this backdrop that House Speaker Mike Johnson was pressed on the obvious contradiction. Newsweek reported: CNN's Manu Raju asked Johnson whether he thinks it's 'hypocritical' for Trump to condemn the anti-ICE protesters in Los Angeles for clashing with law enforcement when Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of everyone charged in the deadly Capitol riot, many of whom were convicted of beating or impeding law enforcement. 'Look, no, I think there's a clear distinction between those two,' Johnson said. Pressed on what he sees as the difference, the Louisiana Republican added, 'Everybody wants me to relitigate January 6, I'm not going to do that. There's a very clear distinction between the two. The people who broke the law and destroyed property [on January 6] were met with the proper consequences on that.' Of course, what the House speaker neglected to mention is that after the Jan. 6 criminals 'were met with the proper consequences,' his party's president decided to undo those consequences. The next day, Attorney General Pam Bondi was pressed on the same point, and she struggled, too. Republicans have had several days to come up with some compelling talking points on this. Evidently, they can't think of anything. This article was originally published on

Trump Says He's Not Sure Whether Musk Was Taking Illegal Drugs in the White House
On Monday, Trump responded to the reports about Elon Musk's alleged drug habit — and his answer makes it sound like even he isn't convinced about his friend-turned-foe's sobriety. Asked if he knew if Musk ever took drugs while physically in the White House, Trump told reporters, "I really don't know. I don't think so." "I hope not," Trump added. Brief as they are, the comments are the most that Trump has spoken about the damning reports detailing Musk's outrageous drug habit, which came to light as the pair's relationship rushed towards its climactic implosion last week. At the end of May, the New York Times reported that Musk's already widely-documented propensity for drugs — which he has previously admitted to taking for medicinal purposes — had spiraled "well beyond occasional use." Musk was allegedly taking so much of the powerful anesthetic ketamine it that it was affecting his bladder. To facilitate the habit, according to the NYT, Musk carried a medication box stuffed with pills everywhere he went. In all, his impressive pharmaceutical cornucopia included Adderall, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms, which he'd mix together with his ketamine use (cocaine and LSD are somewhere in the rotation as well, according to prior reporting by the Wall Street Journal.) Trump was first asked about these allegations back in May, when the NYT story came out. At the time, the president said he wasn't aware of Musk's drug habit, adding that he wasn't "troubled by anything with Elon." "I think he's fantastic," Trump proclaimed, as quoted by the NYT. Musk was more combative in his denial. At a White House press event earlier that day, with Trump sitting beside him, the world's richest man deflected by disparaging the New York Times and implying that the report was a hoax. "Let's move on," he fumed. Since helming the so-called Department of Government Efficiency's efforts to gut the federal government, Musk came to serve as a lightning rod for the public's resentment of the current administration. Under all that pressure, cracks had long begun to show between Musk and Trump's relationship, which boiled over as Musk's drug habit became enshrined in the newspaper of record. Soon after suddenly announcing that he was ending his time as a "special government employee," Musk broke rank and blasted Trump's newly proposed spending bill. Then in a flurry of back and forths, Trump threatened to cancel Musk's government contracts at SpaceX, to which Musk retaliated by saying he'd cut off NASA's space access, calling for Trump's impeachment, and declaring the president was implicated in the unreleased Epstein files. The pair haven't spoken since the spat went public, though not for Musk's lack of trying. According to Trump, his former "First Buddy" has repeatedly tried to get in touch and wipe the slate clean. "I'm not even thinking about Elon," Trump told CNN Friday. "He's got a problem, the poor guy's got a problem." Now, he's offered the slightest of benedictions. "Look, I wish him well. You understand," Trump told reporters. "We had a good relationship and I just wish him well. Very well actually."

Paul Vallas: We must not allow a repeat of 2020 George Floyd protests in Chicago
Events in Los Angeles have justifiably raised concerns about demonstrations spreading across the country, and Chicago must be prepared for the possibility of violent protests opposed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions. To avoid repeating the mistakes of 2020, the city, county and state governments must take proactive steps to ensure the safety of residents and law enforcement. The city cannot afford a repeat of the George Floyd civil unrest of 2020. The lack of preparedness was well documented in the Chicago Office of Inspector General's February 2021 report. The OIG found that despite advance warning of large-scale protests following the Minneapolis police murder of Floyd, the Chicago Police Department was underequipped and unprepared to respond to the scale of the protests and unrest. Much of downtown, as well as many commercial strips and other areas of Chicago, haven't fully recovered from the participants who turned destructive in late May through early June 2020, or the second wave of unrest in August, which erupted after police shot a man in Englewood. The first wave of unrest cost downtown businesses over $66 million, with 2,100 buildings damaged and looted and 71 set on fire. Downtown cannot survive another such episode. There is additional cause for concern in Chicago due to the incendiary language used by some state and local political leaders. Mayor Brandon Johnson's racially divisive rhetoric has become a political calling card. Johnson's condemnation of recent ICE operations and his calls for protest amount to a political call to arms. Not to be outdone, Gov. JB Pritzker in February compared President Donald Trump's administration and its supporters to the Nazi regime and in an April speech in New Hampshire called for 'mass protests,' saying 'it's time to fight everywhere, and all at once.' Such language appeals to the worst instincts of the radicals among the Democrats. City, county and state governments should take the following steps to ensure the safety of residents and law enforcement. Most importantly, Johnson must support police Superintendent Larry Snelling's request for the authority to call a snap curfew in emergencies and direct city agencies to confiscate vehicles and other personal property from those who engage in disruptive behavior. Editorial: MAGA morphs into Make America Cruel AgainIn the longer term, the City Council would do well to reconsider enacting a city nuisance ordinance that would punish anyone rioting, looting, obstructing the public way, disrupting traffic, physically assaulting a police officer or even publicly calling for such behavior. Police would have the power to ticket, impound vehicles, confiscate personal property, revoke licenses and levy heavy fines. The city could also sue in cases of serious property or economic damage. It is true that there are always groups willing to take advantage of legitimate protests to incite violence and individuals ready to use the opportunity to loot and steal. This was clearly evident during the Floyd protests. The state and city should approach preparations for the worst with the same urgency they gave to protecting the Democratic National Convention — deploying extra officers, enforcing the law more strictly, issuing tickets and fines, and confiscating vehicles. This is about ensuring that the city and state are always prepared for the worst, so that no individual or group can exploit citizens' constitutional right to dissent. The state and city are well equipped to protect these rights and to keep any situation from escalating to the point in which even the governor would consider deploying the National Guard — something I, as a 13-year member, would strongly advise against. City and state leaders need to prepare now to address any crisis without resorting to the National Guard and to send a clear message that violating people's rights will have consequences. The ICE crackdown on people living in the country illegally will be just one of many issues that may lead to protests in the coming years. City and state leaders must be prepared.
