REPUBLICAN SEN. TILLIS: “What Freakin’ parallel universe did I wake up in? You’re telling me — if it’s true — damaging the reflecting pool lining is something Pirro wants to prosecute… yet they’re releasing people who pled guilty to assaulting officers?”

Column by Philip Kennicott: The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool was meant to amplify the ideals of our democracy. It’s now a police zone, where arrests are motivated by the president’s need to blame his own mismanagement on an imaginary enemy.

Column | At the Reflecting Pool, Trump turns a serene oasis into a police zone
The botched renovation and images of arrests strike at the heart of the president’s supposed reputation for competence.

The correct word for killing a lot of people, destroying a lot of things, spending a lot of resources, and ending up back where things started is "failure." Or if you'll allow two words, "avoidable disaster."

This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him. This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

Two things can be true: we’re a competitive authoritarian state with all sorts of efforts to put a thumb on the scale of who has power AND we have sufficiently free and sufficiently fair elections that every month we see the party in power lose.

We are now witnessing—some of us in incredulous horror—what happens when a society confuses authority with innocence and violence with virtue. We have built legal doctrines that reward escalation. We have granted weapons to institutions without demanding restraint.
