Washington, DC, during the final 100 hours of the Trump Administration. A few scenes from my morning walk with @mkimmage

By Farragut Square
Dupont Circle bus stop
Old Executive Office Building
Washington Monument, as close as you can get
Security barrier, presumably against Vehicle-borne IEDs. Lots of trucks out there
Streets are empty. Mostly security personnel and people taking pictures.
So many security barriers. I’ve never seen anything like it in this town.
Starbucks
Immigrant Food is open for business
The World Bank sticks out because not boarded up
One of the most profound things that @mkimmage said this morning as we walked through DC: “an event of the magnitude of 1/6 will take a long time to sink in.”

This report drives home his point. Among the best audio reporting I have ever listened to https://t.co/1rA3dVE4ox
To those comparing the post-1/6 situation to the BLM events over the summer: you simply have no idea what you’re talking about. I was here for both. The scale of the security lockdown this week — and the underlying risk of political violence — is a completely different ballgame.

More from Trump

OK, #Squidigation fans, I think we need to talk about the new Wisconsin suit Donald Trump filed - personally - in Federal Court last night. The suit is (as usual) meritless. But it's meritless in new and disturbing ways. This thread will be


Not, I hope, Seth Abramson long. But will see.

I apologize in advance to my wife, who would very much prefer I be billing time (today's a light day, though) and to my assistant, to whom I owe some administrative stuff this will likely keep me from 😃

First, some background. Trump's suit essentially tries to Federalize the Wisconsin Supreme Court complaint his campaign filed, which we discussed here.


If you haven't already, go read that thread. I'm not going to be re-doing the same analysis, and I'm not going to be cross-linking to that discussion as we go. (Sorry, I like you guys, and I see this as public service, but there are limits)

Also, @5DollarFeminist has a good stand-alone thread analyzing the new Federal complaint - it's worth reading as well, though some of the analysis will overlap.
