President Donald Trump is now using the federal government to go after people who hurt his feelings. That’s not my hot take — it’s just what’s happening. On April 9th, he ordered formal investigations into two former officials, Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. Not because they broke the law — but because they broke ranks, and committed…
What if the collapse of a democracy doesn’t come with sirens or boots in the street, but with slogans, executive orders, and billionaires in boardrooms?
