James: Whenever he issues an executive order, it’s the blue wall of defense. The attorneys general all across this country are responding in record time—defending the rights of individuals, defending the rule of law, and standing up for our democracy and for our freedom. We’ll continue to do that

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

It is day 8. The United States is in Constitutional crisis as Trump asserts the right to spend or freeze money allocated by Congress, changing the presidency from an executive bound to implement laws to a monarch who can treat laws like suggestions. The system teeters.

This, to me, seems less about “danger” and more about crowd size. A lot of people won’t want to come out in very cold temperatures and Trump doesn’t want to be photographed addressing a small crowd.

#POTUS noted that Trump is inheriting a strong economy. 🇺🇸
Biden shifted the U.S. economy from 40 years of supply-side economics that had transferred about $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1% and hollowed out the #middleclass.

Kash Patel has been a danger to this country for years. John Bolton compared him to a Soviet secret police leader. Bill Barr said he’d let Trump appoint Kash to the # 2 spot in the FBI “over my dead body” saying the idea showed a “shocking detachment from reality.” Patel should never head the FBI.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.
