Trump Erases History & Fights with Elon, but it's OK ... because We All Are Going to Die. The Lincoln Logue

This week, the Trump administration continued its relentless march toward authoritarianism, cloaked in the guise of policy, patriotism, and a surplus of gaslighting. Whether it was dismissing Medicaid deaths with a nihilistic shrug, cracking down on worker protections, targeting LGBTQ+ legacy during Pride, or recycling travel bans that punish immigrants for existing — the throughline was clear: cruelty as strategy.

Even as the president's allies make headlines with increasingly absurd statements, the machinery of regression keeps turning. One senator brushed off questions about preventable deaths with fatalistic indifference. Trump-era bans are back. LGBTQ+ icons are being erased from military honors. And the GOP is finding new ways to bully unions into submission.

Welcome to The Lincoln Logue, your weekly briefing on what happens when the Constitution becomes a speed bump on the road to autocracy — and how you can still swerve to resist.
