In each case, the president isolates key targets and threatens them, and seemingly them only, if they don’t bend to his will. 3/4.

Trump has cowed otherwise independent companies by threatening them with arbitrary penalties. Rather than collectively resist Trump’s extortive tactics, companies have sold out the long-term stability of a democratically governed free market to protect their short-term earnings.

My comments to @Edsall as part of his excellent @nytopinion column in today's @nytimes:. "Trump’s key method is to, one by one, eliminate as many independent institutions as possible that are free enough to resist or criticize him. 1/4.

For the first time in modern history, the migrants passing through Central America are mostly moving south. 👣 In my new essay for @TheAtlantic, I report and discuss the implications of this extraordinary reversal. 🌎.

The chaos from Trump's early actions may feel distant because they are acutely felt by immigrants, foreigners, and federal workers. But as I argue in my new column for @Newsweek and @NewsweekOpinion, in targeting them, the White House implicates us all. 🇺🇸.

In my newest column for @Newsweek @NewsweekOpinion, I listen to the stories of refugees and the Americans — Democrats and Republicans, young and old, native and foreign-born — who rescued them. It’s inspiring, a side of the US that is underreported. 🫶🏼.
