Disturbing but excellent source for anyone trying to keep up

FYI for anyone interested in a site that shows the progression of the disturbing behavior, from week one to present, of this illegitimate regime.

The “new normal” of American politics is not normal. The Weekly List reminds us of that. On a weekly basis, the List tracks specific news stories representing eroding norms under the current regime. Taken together, they reveal a nation pushed towards authoritarianism, the wielding of unchecked governmental authority by one person or group at the expense of the freedom of those who oppose them.

for the same reasons. Sadly, there was so much corruption that I couldn't begin to keep up and gave up after the first week of trump.

to put us back where we were before they stole the election from President Clinton? We need an Omnibus Bill right off the bat to reverse all of it in one fell swoop. Otherwise we'll be back to 2016...in 2075...if we're lucky.

Answer (after I figured it out) : the above URL is to page 8 (the list is in REVERSE chronological order)

Here's the URL starting with the most recent week (Week 79, May 19, 2018)

Great find! Thanks!

That last one, Presterity, is very professionally done in its organization. The real shame though is that few in our general public see these sites. In tRump World, everyone's head spins unless we have good summary sites like you've listed.

Continuous mass head spinning is exactly what the Repugs want.
