Jack Smith wants to testify in public - Republicans refuse.

He wants his depo tape made public - no again.

The second strike boat video? - nope.

Epstein files law complied with? - not today.

Vote on ACA? - maybe next year.

Republicans: Hide, obstruct, lie, delay, deny.

For as long as he’s been in this game,
Trump has mastered evasion of blame.
An unusual “gaffe”
From the top of his staff
Might give failures a needed reframe.

But one theory: this is a ruse
To delay voters lighting the fuse.
She’s amoral, but smart;
Trump is falling apart,
So this “bombshell” is pulling folks’ views.

But opinions she shared

There are reasons a person might judge
That like Trump, Susie holds a long grudge.
If she feels she’s been slighted,
She’s rather long-sighted
And quietly impacts the sludge.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

We’re far from done. The corruption and rot run deep right now. But those fighting back are making progress. We can turn back this tide and help move the country forward, into a stronger, more stable place than it’s ever been. It will be slow; there will be setbacks. Keep going.

Gerrymandering and disinformation campaigns reduce incentives for politicians to represent us. In a representative democracy, that is a real problem. It requires more work to overcome one it. But as Vance shows, the work we’re doing is making a difference.

But the reason not to think too little of this moment: politicians changing course under pressure from voters is exactly how democracy is supposed to work. The numbers and volume of voters speaking out don’t work to change politicians’ minds so much as their behavior.

Another kind of wishful thinking may be that we’re “returning to normalcy.” No. Normalcy is dead, buried alongside irony and shame. There is no going back; we can only find a workable way forward. We need to rebuild foundations and guardrails, and create something stronger.

One reading to avoid: this isn’t some kind of awakening of public servants. Nope. We’re seeing the first rats moving to the exits as the Trump ship creaks. Everyone knew going in who and what he is; this is about seeking to protect their future. No one’s “turning good.”

If the founders of our country had intended for their leader to be above the law, they would have created a monarchy with an explicit provision that the monarch is above the law. Instead, they created a president, equal before law, with provisions for the president's removal if necessary.
