Trump says, ‘I don’t know,’ when asked if he’s required to uphold Constitution
The president also downplayed fears of a recession and spoke of potential successors when his four-year term ends in an NBC interview.

I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

Everything in this piece is direct and implores us to focus. For example: “To save institutions, it’s important not to fall into the trap of being divided by policy. Unite with people who disagree with you on everything, so long as they agree with you that democracy is worth saving.”
„The first six weeks of Trump’s second term have taken a wrecking ball to core principles of democracy, including the notion that presidents can’t just do whatever they want, facilitated by the whims of the world’s richest man and his borderline adolescent tech world cronies.“
I wrote about how Trump is destroying American democracy, along with eight crucial lessons about how to counteract it, drawing on my 14 years of studying brave pro-democracy opposition movements in authoritarian regimes across the globe. We’re in serious trouble, but there’s still hope.

Their CR also would impose draconian spending cuts on Washington, D.C., which would be devastating for children in the nation’s capital.
