What's important is to understand the cumulative effect of it all. To not just see today's outrage.
See the silencing of Kimmel, the arrest of Comey, the harassment of Soros, the troops in our cities, the seizure of spending power, as all part of a plan to end our democracy.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down.
All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown.
So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

If our laws depend on Trump’s voluntary compliance — and Congress won’t lift a finger to defend the laws it has passed — then the president is unleashed. We are left to the whims of a man who cares about only himself, a man who is willing to discard any law or standard to satisfy his lust for power.

It appears the renewal of Westport Schools Superintendent Tom Scarice’s contract this year won’t be unanimous. BOE Member Robert Harrington has pulled his support.
