Me and my hound on the steps of South Building at UNC Chapel Hill. I often perched here between classes back in the 70s. The view is generally the same today.

Five former defense secretaries on Thursday denounced Trump’s firing last week of the Joint Chiefs chairman and several other senior military officials, urging Congress to hold hearings and declaring they have concluded the officers were “fired for purely partisan reasons.” wapo.st/41i7ymr

Explicitly fascist language. Hitler and Mussolini would easily recognize this language. Merging the fate of the nation and the law into the actual person of the supposed 'great man'.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Richard Nixon seems like an Eagle Scout on steroids compared to the disreputable Donald Trump. Nixon had a conscience. Trump does not.

The hound wears her coat on our end-of-day walks to the post office. Like President Washington during his tours of the states, she subscribes to "to see and be seen."

Grace Townsend hits two free throws with 5.2 seconds left to lift No. 12 #UNC to a 66-65 victory over No. 12 N.C. State while playing without Alyssa Ustby. Reniya Kelly scored 23 points and five 3-pointers for the Tar Heels. Aziaha James led the Pack with 16, all in the second half.

George Washington in 1796 on rising lawless and factionalism: “cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”

RFK Jr.’s confirmation completes Trump's quack-ification of America. Republicans wanted this. So whatever fresh hell flows from RFK Jr. and this League of Incompetent Ninnies is on them. They own all of it. My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

It's Hinton James Day in Chapel Hill, which celebrates the first student to enroll at @UNC. The lore goes that Hinton James walked from Wilmington to Chapel Hill to enroll as the first student. Arriving on Feb 12, 1795. (He made the long walk, even though he was not recruited by Bill Belichick.)

I want to point out that amidst the firehose of violated norms and challenges to the rule of law, federal courts are holding firm for the rule of law. No rule of law, no democracy. I’m grateful to those judges and their adherence to justice that rises above partisanship.

I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET
