I think it’s fair to say we’ve just witnessed the end of the first American republic.
I don’t believe that’s the end of American democracy, but it will require a reconstruction—or a reconstitution—to begin again.

The dissonance of taking a dog to the Humane Society while arresting a 75 year old man who'd been in the US for 40+ years who then DIED in US custody.
WHOA. Sit with this excerpt. When ICE arrested the 75-year-old who died in their custody, he had a dog with him, Chulo, whose previous owner had already been taken by ICE.
ICE officers left Chulo loosely tied outside the humane society. He then got free and was hit by a car.

The Big Brutal Betrayal is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever perpetrated by the Congress and may be their worst action since failing to convict Trump for his two impeachments.

The administration has kicked the hornet's nest of the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism at precisely the same moment it has gutted many of our most critical counter-terrorism resources. Stunningly foolhardy. We are at greater risk today than we were yesterday.

President Trump’s decision to pause most immigration raids targeting farms and hospitality workers took many inside the White House by surprise. It came after intensive lobbying by his agriculture secretary.

And Reagan used "Make America Great Again." Trump is such a narcissist he might truly believe that every idea he has is an original idea.
“America First” was popularized by President Woodrow Wilson and was then adopted by the “America First Committee” which was associated with Charles Lindbergh.
