Note how often the political press now uses "shake up" to avoid saying that Donald Trump is purging the White House of anyone demonstrating insufficient fealty to him and/or deference to Russia.

"Reshuffling" is another good one. All manner of sin — and hostility toward the rule of law and basic ethics — concealed behind innocuous words more suggestive of rearranging chairs than a slide into authoritarianism. pic.twitter.com/9C4MNWMPCo

I don't know what else to do except continue to document this sickening enablement of Trump's authoritarian bid. I'm sure not going to ignore it. I'm sure not going to pretend it's tolerable, or even neutral.
This is infuriating. It is irresponsible. It is shameful.
And I am keeping receipts.
