I just spent a week in Portland. The city was busy with tourists and locals enjoying late summer. A prosperous downtown. Factually, there is no observable evidence of a city needing military intervention. A reminder that this is not normal. Please pay attention.

3/This is no longer the DOJ courts can rely on to act in good faith. The “presumption of regularity” courts have afforded the gov’t, an assumption of good motives & proper behavior that the gov’t regularly pleads in court when accused of wrongdoing without evidence, no longer exists.

2/ But the AG doesn’t tell prosecutors when to open cases. They make those decisions based on the facts & the law. And for it to happen in this of all cases—the Trump revenge agenda they said under oath at confirmation hearings they didn’t have—tells you everything you need to know.

I'm repeating myself but the key to explaining Trump's love of tariffs is: He literally believes any money coming into the Federal gov't belongs to *him, personally*.
So when importers pay tariffs, *Trump thinks he gets richer*. The fact that the cost is passed on to Americans is irrelevant to him.

Nonpartisan budget lab at Yale has "calculated that American consumers will have to contend with an average effective tariff rate of 18.3 percent, the highest since 1934. As a result, the center estimates that price increases will cost each household on average $2,400 this year."

This is the question we must all answer for ourselves. But if we cede democracy out of fear of Trump, things will not get better just because we cave. Freedom is worth the hard work it’s going to take.
There are only two things that stand between Trump and being a dictator -- the courts and elections. Trump wants to send a clear message to law firms that he will go after them.
It is ok to be afraid, the question is what do you do. Do you hide and cower in fear or stand tall and say it is wrong?
