"Pres. Donald Trump is trying to intimidate his critics into silence. And, sadly, it is working ... The administration violates the Constitution by moving to eliminate federal agencies, refusing to spend money appropriated by statute, trying to end birthright citizenship, cutting funds for universities, deporting people without due process and punishing law firms for the sake of retribution":

The Washington Post · Trump is targeting law firms and academia. Why don’t they speak up?By Erwin Chemerinsky

I highly recommend listening to the Impolitic podcast with John Heileman, from about 3 days ago, where his guests were Peter Baker and Susan Glasser. The highlight was them explaining what happened in Russia, where they were reporters watching Putin transform Russia's democracy into a dictatorship. Trump is trying to follow the same steps Putin took. For example, Putin's use of fear and his attacks against Russia's universities, media, judges, and law firms. #politics #democracy #danger

"A number of these programs, which rely at least in part on State Department and USAID grants, operate in countries run by repressive regimes or authoritarian governments. Exposing key details of those programs...would likely make it easier for those foreign governments to identify citizens or local activists who are associated with those groups and programs. "

Lawrence Tribe: "Just as Hitler rose from the ashes and grievances of World War I, it looks like Trump’s dream is to reduce the United States to rubble so that he can turn what’s left of our once great country into his base of aggressively expansionist operations in alliance with Vladimir Putin." #politics #danger
