Daniel begins today’s update with reports on court disruption, May Day aftermath, detention force, and the government’s scrutiny of mourning after Alex Pretti. The broadcast also turns toward the red-hat intrusions that have haunted the line for weeks.
Buck and Cade arrive confident.
And somewhere beyond the noise, a thin northern signal changes the morning.
