January 6, 2021: a day that will go down in history as one of the most shameful and infamous in American history. The day the president of the United States urged an armed mob to invade the US Congress and, in effect, overturn the US government. The day the son of the president of the United States urged congressional Republicans to be “heroes” by supporting the president’s insurrection. The day Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s lawyer, urged “trial by combat.” The day that, despite the most seditious acts since the Civil War, six US senators and 121 members of the House later that evening voted...…January 6, 2021: a day that will go down in history as one of the most shameful and infamous in American history.

The Signal, this first week of the new year? The efforts of Trump and his merry band of seditionists to overturn the will of the people and install Trump as America’s first dictator have hit overdrive in the days leading up to Congress’s vote to certify the Electoral College results.This weekend, , extraordinary even by his debased standards, to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, demanding that he “find” just enough votes to overturn Biden’s victory in the Peach State, and threatening both Raffensperger and his attorney with unspecified consequences if they didn’t do so.So...…The Signal, this first week of the new year?

We are less than seven weeks away from the inauguration, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t counting down the seconds. For the last spasms of Trumpist rule are truly a sight and sound to behold. Trumpism is at this point nothing more than a blend of cultism and fascism, a violent, nihilistic howl against the pillars of American democracy unparalleled in presidential history.Donald Trump and his acolytes know their gig is up; they can file lawsuits till they are blue in the face, but they’re not going to overturn the election results in multiple states simultaneously.

Inauguration Day is only seven weeks away. In “normal” times, the outgoing president and his team would at this point be facilitating a smooth transfer of power—tying up a few policy loose ends, but generally making way for the new president and acknowledging the new political priorities of that president.None of that is happening with Donald Trump. In fact, quite the reverse. Day by day, reports emerge of new efforts to lock into place Trump’s extremist agenda. That’s the Signal.Over the weekend, the Los Angeles Times reported that the administration is , in an apparent effort to keep...…Inauguration Day is only seven weeks away.
