Robert P. Jones lives in the D.C. metropolitan area. He writes,

"In our inner circle of friends and neighbors, only two families have not had at least one spouse lose his or her job since January 20th. … They are already burning through vacation days and preparing to cash out retirement and college savings accounts to pay the mortgage and buy groceries."

"The war the Musk/Trump regime is waging against America's health care has not been contained to a single organ of our government. It is already metastasizing into every aspect of our lives.

They are working to 'simultaneously increase toxins in our air, food, and water.'"

"That’s the point, really. The standardization of chaos. The steady insistence that no matter how outlandish, how dangerous, this tilt away from democracy gets, it’s actually nothing to get upset about. Attempt to remake the US government as quickly and radically as possible, because otherwise how will you know how far you can push it?"

WIRED · Elon Musk and Donald Trump Have Chosen ChaosBy Brian Barrett

"Much of what the Trump administration has done during the lawless rampage that has been its first two months has felt haphazard, reckless, at times almost random in nature — all of which, of course, is by design. It’s become well understood in the years since the MAGA movement’s takeover of the Republican Party that the cruelty — and, often, the accompanying chaos — is the point."

"Musk, who serves as a senior adviser to Donald Trump, posted about judges who ruled in opposition to the administration more than 20 times within 48 hours this week on X, the social network he owns, repeatedly framing them as radical leftist activists and seeking to undermine their authority."

"Fridays are becoming bloodbath day in the federal workforce. In the same way that bad news stories used to be held for Friday late afternoon, that’s when we now hear about a lot of these firings. Midafternoon, I heard that the Department of Homeland Security had essentially abolished all its international civil rights and detention abuse agencies."

"In 1978, when [Václav] Havel writes of Czechoslovakia, he is also writing of America in the future:

'Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past, it falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future.'”

"Nearly all the actions that he's taken in the first 60 or so days of this shameless and shameful regime are the authoritarian versions of policies Republicans have been fantasizing about for most of the century."

"Eviscerating the federal government and subjugating Congress; defying court orders and delegitimising judges; deporting immigrants and arresting protesters without due process; chilling free speech at universities and cultural institutions; cowing news outlets with divide-and-rule."
