I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Instead, we may be witnessing something worse: the newest milestone along the road to autocracy, in which a president pardons those who do violence on his behalf and encourages others to do the more of the same.

It’s a desecration of memory and the idea of a peaceful transfer of power, and a brazen attempt to rewrite history.
But history will not be rewritten. Not by a thousand lies or a thousand pardons.

Trump’s action today is a sick betrayal of the rule of law and adds grievous insult to injury to law enforcement officers. These men and women fought to uphold the rule of law, only to see it mocked by a man who swore just a few hours ago, to God and country, to defend it.

The halls they protected were desecrated by hate and chaos. Offices ransacked. The electoral count delayed.
Today, in a grim irony, Trump took the oath of office under the protection of those same officers, standing in those same hallowed halls he incited violence against just four years earlier.
