You cannot pursue responsible foreign policy if the military’s experience, morale, and #leadership are hollowed out and geared toward domestic repression; you cannot restore law and order when the Department of Justice and federal law enforcement have been politicized and stripped of the skills and legitimacy needed to protect everyone; you cannot rebuild America’s #economic standing when global partners no longer trust our commitments.

None of the powerful #institutions that enable pragmatic #governance can safely be rebuilt until they are protected from capture and weaponization—otherwise they remain loaded guns in a room full of toddlers, ready to be used again by remorseless extremists, a disengaged electorate, and structural flaws in our #democracy.
