2. With Congressional Republicans ceding ALL oversight power, the Trump White House can run roughshod over our Constitutional rights.
1. THREAD: Today was a grave inflection point for our democracy. The White House froze out major news orgs for a reason: They can. (1/15)

3. With no one enforcing rules, the rule of law is a hollow shell. With free rein to claim power, unscrupulous people will seize it ALL.
-
4. Steve Bannon made clear that the louder the
#resistance, the more he and Trump see it as validation of their radical course of action. -
5. In the past week, we've seen the "militarizing" of the immigration issue, ID's checked on domestic flights, and the FBI pressured.
-
6. These are all signs that the overarching question, "Can it happen here?" has already been answered. Loud and clear. It can. And it is.
-
7. A HUGE misconception among people who have enjoyed democracy their entire lives: When freedom is curtailed, life grinds to a halt. WRONG.
-
8. I lived in Beirut during the Lebanese civil war. Carnage. Artillery barrages. Kidnappings. Snipers everywhere. Curfews. BUT LIFE WENT ON.

9. We'd emerge from our bunkers, survey the overnight damage, then go shopping. Humans are resilient. We adapt to just about anything.

@peterdaou This strikes me as a bit overwrought. Inflection point but also Pyrrhic victory for DT. Attacks 1st Am in spirit, not letter. 1/ -
@peterdaou Abysmal that Congress won't hold him accountable, but if 2018 elex is legit, then public opinion matters. This won't help it. 2/ -
@peterdaou Public trusts media (abstract or specific) more than Trump. Unlikely to change just bc no access to gaggles. 3/ -
@peterdaou If anything, sensitizes media to problem with GWB-era worship of the god Access. Not addicted to Access=big prob for Trump. 4/4 -
@peterdaou PS Oh yeah, Const doesn't guarantee right to press gaggles. Certainly DJT is enemy of a free press (but we knew that already). - さらに表示
