The corruption went into overdrive even before the inauguration. People saying that the American system of checks and balances is holding are detached from reality. When it comes to checking corruption, they don’t seem to exist.

So Trump is now deploying ICE to protect government property in Democratic cities? How does that have to do with Immigration and Customs? The growth of a personal paramilitary force continues unabated.

Once again, the only way the actions of Trump and his supporters makes sense is if you accept that they have no intention of willingly giving up power, regardless of what happens in any democratic process.

I met so many heroic observers on the ground today, folks I’m starting to see every day. I still don’t know real names, but there are certain pseudonyms who are always out there and that make me feel safe. I’m meeting neighbors when we discover we’re rapid response together. Community is how we win.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
