I’m looking at the massive anti-Putin, anti-corruption, anti-autocratic protests sweeping Eastern Europe —from Georgia to Serbia, Romania to Hungary. Yes, this last, onTrump’s Euro bestie, Victor Orban’s turf. Let’s not be outshone. Time to sync up our own simmering anti-Trump, anti-Musk ire.

The hallowed halls of “Main Justice” have morphed into “Maimed”Justice. At that venue today, Trump fingered “rogue” judges, prosecutors, media outlets and specific lawyers—from Marc Elias to Norm Eisen —as targets for his retribution. In the offing, he turned the DOJ into his own private law firm.

Where once Trump’s worst instincts were tamped down—I now remember fondly Bolton, Tillotson, Kelly—they are only being revved up. Even exacerbated. Elon Musk wielding a chain saw is emblematic. His boss’s latest retaliatory gesture: cut and thrust even at law firms he dislikes.

A lot of folks who voted for Trump now suspect that they’ve been gaslit, that what’s coming out of the White House is not what they signed up for. Some are irate, and not just about the still-rising price of eggs. That’s because the adverse effects of firings are seeping into every city and town.

I was stunned by the ever-wider metaphorical aisle twixt gleeful Republicans and grim-faced Dems Tuesday night during Trump’s speech to Congress. I’ve ignored his Gulf of America designation, but we’re arguably flailing in a Gulf IN America. The president said nothing to keep us from drowning.
