You are why I contribute to TPM...but, yeah, two months yet away from the Orange Felon's inauguration, and tRump fatigue/malaise has settled over many of us. It's how he rolls, and observers like you are desperately needed to keep the rest of us in the game.
Re: Your Nomination for Secretary of Defense — A Blatant Spectacle of Opportunism, Recklessness, and the Sinister Nexus of White Nationalism and Sex Crimes
A critical point that I think too many of us have been missing is that there is no democracy without our institutions, and Republicans have been successfully crippling our institutions since Nixon. They have convinced at least half of the country that the institutions are the problem, so people continue to vote against democracy, over and over again.
Democracy might seem like it's not working, but only because Republicans keep sabotaging it. The right wing blames the institutions and convinces people to continue to vote against themselves.
Trump I was "let's break things", Trump II is "let's burn this place down".
We're 100% with you on your transition coverage as you described. Thanks for what you do David.

Thanks for the music, probably would not have found it on my own.
And always for the astute commentary.
Thanks David! Saw Jake last night at SF Jazz. Amazingly talented!
Great music!
The music video=gorgeous. Thanks.
Thanks, David.
Thank you David. It's always
