While Donald Trump approaches the end of his first 100 days in power, his administration continues to aim for many American institutions. The panelists have joined Washington week with the Atlantic Last night, to discuss the position of the administration on the courts, universities, government agencies, etc.
Meanwhile, this week, Senator Lisa Murkowski from Alaska told voters that “we are all afraid”, adding that she was impatient to use her voice, “because the reprisals are real”.
“It's so omnipresent, what she talks about,” said Mark Leibovich last night. She does not speak of “political intimidation like Elon Musk launching a heap of money on an opponent or a primitive person”. He continued: “She speaks of physical fear.”
Murkowski's feelings are not isolated either, Leibovich added. “It was a real characteristic of that time,” he said. “Governance is supposed to take place by politics, by persuasion, through debate. Authoritarianism is by intimidation, by threat, by violence in certain cases. ”
