Text from article:
By now it should be clear that we are not going to exit the Trump era, brush ourselves off, sweep our feet across the doormat, and stride into a brighter new era. It is still possible that Trump will become unpopular enough that Republican elites pretend they never heard of the guy. But without accountability and concerted de-Trumpification, his Democratic successors will struggle to explain why “normal” hasn’t returned, and the public will turn on them.

Democrats will shoulder the anger if recovering from the Trump era requires austerity. They will not be able to govern if the crooks in Trump world fall back into the periphery of the political system and resume efforts to sabotage liberal government.

When the next president has a hard time re-establishing alliances and U.S. cooperation—if the world moves on from America and some of the conveniences that we derive from U.S. hegemony disappear—the public will blame whoever is in charge. Permanently higher borrowing costs; permanently more expensive safety nets; less freedom of movement internationally.

It will be much easier to arrest the normal process of forgetting if Democrats embrace the goal of Trump humiliation now. If peeling Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center is just a taste of what’s to come.

Posted, Then Deleted

USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins confirmed a second New World Screwworm detection — a one-month-old calf in Zavala County, Texas, 5.6 miles from the first case. She posted the announcement at 6:45 PM yesterday, detailing strike teams on the ground, sterile fly releases at 2 million aerial and 4 million ground per week, and active movement control zones.

Then she deleted it.

Texas Rep. Jonathan Richie caught the deletion and posted the full original text publicly. This is the same regime that’s been removing the detection experts and surveillance infrastructure that were specifically designed to catch outbreaks like this one before they spread. Now there are two confirmed cases, and instead of transparency, we get a post and a quiet delete.
