Donald Trump has now officially passed Obama's eight-year total of rounds of golf — in less than five years. I've added a chart to my tracker of Trump's golf/property visits to show just how far past Obama he's getting.

“Roberts has been embedding white-dominant authoritarianism into the country’s source code for two decades. It’s impossible to imagine today’s crisis without the Roberts court having first undermined the foundations of our democracy.”
