It's mourning in America.

https://substack.com/app-link/post?publication_id=...

Tomorrow, Monday, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It is also, of course, the day the peaceful transfer of power between two American presidents will take place. Unlike this day four years ago, when the transfer from Trump to Biden was marred and almost upset by Trump’s criminal attempt to hold onto power after losing the election, Joe Biden will hand over the reins of power graciously.

I have no plans to celebrate the inauguration of the incoming president. That’s my right as an American, to stand in protest, honoring the Constitution, our system of laws, and the presidency, but not the man who will occupy that office for the next four years. Instead, I will spend Monday summoning the courage to continue to speak truth to power in the face of what lies ahead.

Already, we see signs that Trump, who tried to walk away from Project 2025 during the campaign, is taking steps to implement it. Despite the campaign's claim that people who worked on Project 2025 would be banned from the new administration, Trump has brought them on in droves. That includes Russell Vought for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Vought, who authored the chapter on the “Executive Office of the President” was, “also deeply involved in drafting Project 2025's playbook for the first 180 days of a new Trump administration.”
