Donald Trump promised retribution in his campaign. Those who supported him may have believed it would be retribution on their behalf; it should be clear after these seven short weeks that his retribution is instead aimed at the American people; every one of us.

It is not an overstatement to say that in the 250-year history of our country, today is the most dangerous day the country has ever seen. Tomorrow, and every day following that will be the next most dangerous days until someone steps up to do something about it.

The Courts are putting up some appropriate restraints but that is subject to his (very questionable) acceptance of the rule of law. Congress has yet to demonstrate any willingness to resist his usurpation of

Using ten years of lies and misinformation, this authoritarian was put in the position to assert personal control over every governmental institution for either the purpose of destroying it, as DOGE is doing, or, to corrupt it to his own purposes of retribution and self-enrichment. It is terrifying how he has hijacked the highest levels of law enforcement and accountability of this country already.
