You write, "The big thing we asked in return is to be able to share gift links to everything they found with all of you. Those links are below." Vox gave me access to the first article I clicked on (Drutman's) but is blocking access to the others. My guess is that Vox limits ungated access to one link per IP address during some period of time.
We need a very practical strategy, e.g. a two column chart:
Col 1: List of all the guardrails, accepted protocols and laws that the Trump admin has broken, changed or ignored, particularly ones that threaten government ruled by elected leaders not dictators and ones that destroy our sense of Americans who may disagree about policies but all support our government and its Constitution
Col 2: Checklist of what laws Congress needs to pass in order to codify or replace with laws -
- previously accepted guardrails (e.g. independence of DOJ from Exec),
- protocols (e.g. treat people with respect for differences not insults - including other nations as well as our own people).
- what Trump eliminated (e.g. requirement to have all the positions for ethics monitors that Trump admin eliminated),
- softpower services to help vulnerable Americans get food, shelter and healthcare as well as
- softpower programs for countries with potential family, unnecessary diseases and deaths, etc
and some public education about reasons for softpowern (e.g., without our sharing of some of our wealth with impoverished American groups and desititute countries, those American groups and global countries may feel so desperate that they turn to terrorists for help...
...even if we don't care about destitute people in other countries for humanitarian reasons, we should care for national security reasons.)

I’m also having difficulty accessing the work you requested that Vox provide us…
yes, same for me. But Mr. Raderstorf's synopses do help.
VOX started in 2014. A relative newborn, a toddler in the realm of reporting on ‘authoritarian threats.’ Thanks for being making it to age 12.
