Drawing lines between “peaceful” and “violent” is a common move for politicians amid popular protest—and such directions can be difficult to follow in a cloud of tear gas you did not set off.

In 54 days Trump has gone from...
Promising a new “golden age” to arguing recession is “worth it.”

Promising “day one” egg-price decreases to telling people to “shut up” and keep backyard poultry.

Demonizing electric cars to advertising them on the White House lawn.

I think almost every day about how the scientific data suggests that before leaded gasoline was banned in the US in 1996, the latent levels of lead in every person in the US had burdens high enough to cause cognitive effects and long term cognitive decline.

Every single person 30 years or older.
The thing that was making America great was apparently lead.
Today EPA chief Lee Zeldin announced that the agency is rolling back 31 regulations.

He's taking aim at mercury, soot, and toxic pollution restrictions, and federal protection of wetlands.

The EPA will also rewrite rules limiting pollution from fossil-fuel plants and cars, and more.

What happens when leaders have loyalists in charge of men with guns: Lessons for the US from Nicaragua, Syria and other authoritarian countries
Donald Trump’s moves to install loyalists in US security agencies and the military echo the actions of strongmen worldwide who prioritize personal loyalty over competence and respect for the law.
