Today at a Foreign Affairs Committee briefing on USAID I asked Trump's head of USAID Pete Marocco, as the overseer of democracy and free elections programming globally, whether he was at the Capitol on January 6th.

He refused to say no.

Closely approaching the Streisand effect.

🚨This is their 2nd attempt at removing this image🚨

Why don't they want you to see this pic of Trump appointee Pete Marocco and wife, Merritt Corrigan, before they crawl through a broken Capitol window?

White nationalist Lana Lokteff says we have to "repeal the Civil Rights Act" to stop black people from invading "all our white spaces": "All of this because they couldn't drink [from] the same water fountain or use the same toilet. Was it really that big of a deal?"

Trump might proclaim himself king, but there is plenty of fight left in Americans and judicial determination in federal courts to repudiate the Mad King Donald. If recent events are any indication, Americans are just getting started.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Feb 21
Trump: "If you notice, every country that has the death penalty has no drug problem. They execute drug dealers. And when you think about it, it's very humane, because every drug dealer on average they say kills at least 500 people ... I don't know if our country is ready for it. I am ready for it."

Plain English from a bunch of lawyers while the NYT continues to trip over its own feet trying to placate Trump.

Someone at the American Bar Association ate their Wheaties this morning.
ABA It has been three weeks since Inauguration Day. Most Americans recognize that newly elected leaders bring change. That is expected. But most Americans also expect that changes will take place in accordance with the rule of law and in an orderly manner that respects the lives of affected individuals and the work they have been asked to perform. Instead, we see wide-scale affronts to the rule of law itself, such as attacks on constitutionally protected birthright citizenship, the dismantling of USAID and the attempts to criminalize those who support lawful programs to eliminate bias and enhance diversity. We have seen attempts at wholesale dismantling of departments and entities created by Congress without seeking the required congressional approval to change the law. There are efforts to dismiss employees with little regard for the law and protections they merit, and social media announcements that disparage and appear to be motivated by a desire to inflame without any stated factual basis. This is chaotic. It may appeal to a few. But it is wrong. And most Americans recognize it is wrong. It is also contrary to the rule of law. The American Bar Association supports the rule of law. That means holding governments, including our own, accountable under law. We stand for a legal process that is orderly and fair. We have consistently urged the administrations of both parties to adhere to the rule of law. We stand in that familiar place again today. And we do not stand alone. Our courts stand for the rule of law as well.
