I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

In an act of resistance against Trump, the Smithsonian pushed back after the president claimed he had fired Kim Sajet, director of the National Portrait Gallery. “All personnel decisions are made by and subject to the direction of the secretary, with oversight by the board,” the institution stated.

Trump told reporters at the White House that the protesters in Los Angeles “are insurrectionists.” That’s false. January 6 was an insurrection, this is a protest. But by using that language, he may be laying the groundwork to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act.
