Today marks the end of a momentous week in American history. The president
has not changed over the course of the week: he is still dismantling checks
and balances in favor of his own power. With the help of Attorney General
William Barr, he has taken control of the law enforcement teams that make
up about 132,000 federal law enforcement officers and, taking advantage of
the fact that Washington, D. C., is not a state, has turned nearly 3000
members of those forces loose on the protesters in the capital to join the
4000 others there from different forces. About half of the federal officers
come from the FBI, ATF, Secret Service, DEA, and CBP; others come from 80
other, smaller, forces, and answer to the executive branch of the
government. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

Today marks the end of a momentous week in American history.

The president has not changed over the course of the week: he is still
dismantling checks and balances in favor of his own power. With the help of
Attorney General William Barr, he has taken control of the law enforcement
teams that make up about 132,000 federal law enforcement officers and,
taking advantage of the fact that Washington, D. C., is not a state, has
turned nearly 3000 members of those forces loose on the protesters in the
capital to join the 4000 others there from different forces. About half of
the federal officers come from the FBI, ATF, Secret Service, DEA, and CBP;
others come from 80 other, smaller, forces, and answer to the executive
branch of the government.

While we have all been paying attention to the crisis in the streets of
Washington, D.C., Trump yesterday signed an executive order permitting
government agencies to waive environmental laws in order to speed up
approval for development, citing an economic “emergency” caused by the
pandemic. This follows an executive order from two weeks ago, telling
agencies they can simply ignore regulations they believe burden the
economy. His executive orders override Congressional legislation, and will
likely not stand in court, but for now, anyway, reinforce his emphasis on
turning the country over to businessmen. “This is a huge win for pro-growth
policies,” said David McIntosh, president of the anti-regulation Club for
Growth.

That focus on the economy showed as well today in Trump’s triumphant focus
on a better jobs report for May than economists had expected. The report
showed an unemployment rate of 13.3%, although it had been expected to come
in about six points higher. Even with those gains, the US has one of the
highest unemployment rates in the world, according to Josh Lipsky of the
Atlantic Council. And there is a problem with the report’s numbers, noted
on the report itself. Because there was a “misclassification error”—people
furloughed because of the pandemic did not get counted as unemployed-- the
numbers are about 3 percentage points low, putting the real unemployment
rate at about 16.3%.

Still, in his meandering speech about the numbers, Trump reiterated that a
strong economy was key to equality in America. He then talked about the
protests and said that Black Americans must get fair treatment from law
enforcement. He said, “Hopefully George is looking down right now and
saying, “This is a great thing that’s happening for our country.” This is a
great day for him. It’s a great day for everybody. This is a great day for
everybody. This is a great, great day in terms of equality. It’s really
what our Constitution requires and it’s what our country is all about.”

Trump’s key supporters in Congress haven’t changed: they are still using
governmental machinery to smear Trump’s opponents. The Senate Judiciary
Committee has launched a probe into the origins of the Russia
investigation, and yesterday, Chair Lindsey Graham (R-SC) sought to get
authorization for subpoenas for more than 50 individuals. Graham is up for
election and, with challenger Jaime Harrison collecting more campaign money
than Graham, is looking to solidify his standing with Trump’s base.

Graham was forced to postpone the vote, though, after a fight broke out.
Senator Ben Sasse (R-Neb) called out the hearings for the campaign
propaganda they are. "Can we get a sense of how long we're going to be
here? ... With all due respect, I don't think anybody in private ever
disagrees with me when I say that it's bullshit the way people grandstand
for cameras in here. The reality is if we didn’t have cameras in this room,
the discussion would be different,” he said.

The Chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Committee, Ron Johnson (R-WI) had better luck: he got the subpoena power he
wanted for his version of the same investigation. (Johnson is one of the
Republican lawmakers who spent July 4, 2018 in Russia.)

Trump’s key supporters on the ground haven’t changed: they continue to
support the president and the use of force against protesters. After two
Buffalo, New York police officers on the force’s emergency response team
were suspended for pushing a 75-year-old man backward onto a sidewalk,
where he hit his head and lay bleeding and unconscious as they walked on
by, 57 of their colleagues resigned from the team (although not from the
force, where they remain employed). They resigned “in disgust because of
the treatment of two of their members, who were simply executing orders,”
said John Evans, the president of the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association.

The National Guard troops in Washington appear all to have been sent by
Republican governors: Utah, South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Maryland,
and Florida. Governors in New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and
Virginia—all Democrats-- have refused to send troops.

What has changed this week is that there are critical numbers of Americans,
including those who control the military, publicly rejecting Trump and his
version of America.

Crucially, the week saw military leaders taking a firm stand that they
would not permit military personnel to be used against Americans. This is a
huge deal, putting to rest any thought that Trump could rally the military
to his standard. Over the course of the week, more and more former officers
declared their support for equal rights and the Constitution, to which they
swore an oath, and opposed Trump’s suggestion that he would call soldiers
to put down protesters. Today, 89 former defense officials added their
voices with an op-ed in the *Washington Post* echoing their colleagues, but
going further to note: “We are alarmed at how the president is betraying”
his oath to the Constitution.

Without consulting the president, the Pentagon today disarmed the
federalized National Guard troops in Washington and sent back to their
bases the regular troops that had been moved to the city.

Today, the Marines directed their corps commanders to “identify, and remove
the display of the Confederate battle flag or its depiction within work
places, common-access areas, and public areas on their installations.” The
order is to “support our core values, ensure unit cohesion and security,
and preserve good order and discipline.”

Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser ended the state of emergency in the
city and formally asked Trump to withdraw all extraordinary federal law
enforcement and military presence from Washington, D.C.

In Denver, a federal court issued a restraining order against Denver Police
prohibiting them from using chemicals and projectiles against peaceful
protesters.

A poll from early this week found that 64% of American adults were
“sympathetic to people who are out protesting right now,” while 27% said
they disapproved, and 9% said they weren’t sure what they thought.

For ten days, now, Americans have filled the streets of cities and towns
across the country, their anger over the death of George Floyd under the
knee of a casual murderer in a blue uniform growing into a larger rejection
of an America where white and might make right.

Today, Trump visited the state of Maine, where he was greeted with a
message from the editorial board of the *Portland Press Herald*. The
headline read: “To President Trump: You should resign now.”
