This is beyond delusional insanity, it needs its own new terminology for how devoid of reality it is. This man is a deranged lunatic. I live in L.A., am out doing errands. L.A. is exactly like it is on any other day, with a few hundred protestors in a couple of spots in a city of nearly 10,000,000

What you saw from Trump in CA this weekend was not law enforcement. What you saw was a test of ways and means for Trump to disrupt and pervert the 2026 elections. My latest in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

It is pathetic how easily network news executives let right wingers manipulate them. Terry Moran rightly calls Stephen Miller a hater driven by bile, and ABC News accepts the idea that this is “unhinged” behavior. Critiquing people abusing their power is the JOB of journalism.

It only took Hitler 19 months to consolidate power, going from Chancellor with no parliamentary majority in January 1933 to Fuhrer in August 1934. Trump's got a head start on him with majorities in Congress and the Supreme Court. Things can go bad faster than many might imagine; we better be ready.
