If Donald Trump thinks he has a mandate, he may need to look out the window: More people are protesting his inauguration than attended it.

“Let’s be very clear about who’s practicing identity
politics. As Democrats and as progressives, we’re here to say that we’re all equal, everybody should get paid the same amount, everybody should have equal rights. It is Donald Trump who singled out Muslims for a Muslim registry. It was Donald Trump who made disparaging comments about women. It was Donald Trump who criticized a judge of Mexican heritage. That’s identity politics. We’re sending the message that we’re all Americans.”

Trump's move to make mortgages more expensive is defensible on fiscal responsibility grounds but none of the rest of his agenda is.
