Every day you wake up and Trump is doing things…...

"Meanwhile, America is one-man rule. Resist and he'll ruin you. He'll destroy your law firm's business; he'll stop that corporate merger you want; he'll put a tariff on your company; he'll launch a DOJ investigation into you; he'll get you fired for doing your job in government faithfully; he'll sue you if you print something true about him; and if you're a federal judge and rule against him, he'll sic an online mob, and maybe a real mob, onto you. He has done all these things this year and openly celebrated them."
Andrew Sullivan

"Every day, Americans are bombarded with the bad news of Trump 2.0: concentration camps; cruel ICE raids targeting law-abiding residents; health insurance being yanked from millions; elite universities, media companies, and law firms yielding to mob-like extortion; crypto deals and other brazen grifting tied to a corrupt White House; rampant abuses of governmental power and threats of sham criminal prosecutions against the administration's critics and political foes; drastic cuts in food assistance; assaults on women's rights; the withholding of disaster relief; the reckless shutdowns and eviscerations of crucial government services and agencies that will result in hardship (and, in some cases, death) for Americans and people overseas….."
Dan Corn

"The senior administration official, as well as other Trump officials, note that it is a priority of the president's that these kinds of military deployments in L.A., and now D.C., in times of relative calm become normalized in American political culture. Trump has long believed he should be able to wield the might of military forces on American soil in ways more commonly associated with authoritarian states. He now has a government stacked full of loyalists who want to help him realize this goal. "He's gonna do more of them," another Trump administration official says, referring to siccing the military on deep-blue cities, using crime and immigrants as justification. "He promised he would do this, and now he's following through on those promises……"
Rolling Stone

"The Trump administration has ordered a comprehensive internal review of exhibitions and materials at several Smithsonian museums to ensure they align with the administration's interpretation of American history. This initiative follows an executive order from March 2025 titled "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History," which criticized what it described as a "revisionist movement" across the country.
Key aspects of the review
* Focus: The initial phase will focus on eight museums, including the National Museum of American History, the National Museum of Natural History, and the National Museum of African American History and Culture."
