Donald Trump is withholding billions of dollars in New York infrastructure unless he gets Penn Station and Dulles Airport named after him.
This is not only brazenly corrupt. It is sick, twisted and egomaniacal. The time is long overdue for sane Republicans to stand up to Trump.

"A president who tries to change the rules once will do it again. The more his first attempt is downgraded, has its edges smoothed, turned into a matter of differing opinion rather than a unique effort to break the American system, the easier it is for that same person to break the laws again."
Trump is already laying groundwork to contest the next election he loses. January 6th wasn't the end—it was the rehearsal. johnfdickerson.substack.com/p/pre-planni...

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed to bar discrimination based on race. In 1973, Donald Trump & his father were sued by the DOJ for refusing to rent apartments to black people. Civil Rights came into being to stop racist assholes like the Trumps, not to discriminate against white people.
