Finding Calm Amidst Political Chaos

Well, it's Day 5. We made it through the first working week of the Dump 2.0 reign, though it hasn't been easy. And it feels like a long year already. Thankfully, Marcy Wheeler is here from emptywheel.net each Friday to chat with me about what happened and make sure we know what we need to know. We cover a lot of territory today, and get some warnings about what to expect in the near future. It's all hands on deck time. I keep saying that you need to find the reliable sources of actual news that you can trust. Marcy is one of the best there is.  It was an ugly week one, but hopefully we can help put it in perspective for you.
