Assuming this post today is aimed at us. The Trump admin changed the rules to make it easier to replace career federal employees with political loyalists. If you’re not alarmed by Trump’s post, you should be. This isn’t about policy it’s about control. It’s “do as I say, or you’re replaced.”

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

About 1 in 5 Republicans has confidence that Vladimr Putin will do the right thing regarding world affairs. This poll result suggests that millions of people think a dictator whose army murders children and rapes women is really a good guy. Right-wing propaganda is poisoning American minds.
