Washington Post: “Trump said he expects Republicans in Congress to move quickly and in unison in the coming weeks on other priorities as well, including enacting sweeping tax cuts and beginning the building of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.”

“Trump warned Republicans that if the party splinters or slows his agenda, he is ready to use the power of the presidency — and Twitter — to usher his legislation to passage.”

Said Trump: “The Congress can’t get cold feet because the people will not let that happen.”

Adam Gopnik: “The best way to be sure that 2017 is not 1934 is to act as though it were. We must learn and relearn that age’s necessary lessons: that meek submission is the most short-sighted of policies; that waiting for the other, more vulnerable group to protest first will only increase the isolation of us all. We must refuse to think that if we play nice and don’t make trouble, our group won’t be harmed. Calm but consistent opposition shared by a broad front of committed and constitutionally-minded protesters — it’s easy to say, fiendishly hard to do, and necessary to accomplish if we are to save the beautiful music of American democracy.”

Sam Wang has a watch list.

“Donald Trump may be the future president, but that doesn’t mean he’s above choosing the place settings and tablecloth fabrics for this week’s inaugural festivities,” the New York Post reports.

Said Inaugural Committee Chair Tom Barrack: “He’s into every detail of everything. I beg him all the time to go back to running the free world and let me focus on setting the tables.”

Esquire: “According to three senior officials on the transition team, a plan to evict the press corps from the White House is under serious consideration by the incoming Trump Administration. If the plan goes through, one of the officials said, the media will be removed from the cozy confines of the White House press room, where it has worked for several decades. Members of the press will be relocated to the White House Conference Center—near Lafayette Square—or to a space in the Old Executive Office Building, next door to the White House.”

Said one senior official: “They are the opposition party. I want ’em out of the building. We are taking back the press room.”

“A public feud between Donald Trump and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) seemed to jettison any lingering hopes that the inauguration would temporarily ease partisanship in Washington and instead threatened to widen the rift between the two parties,” the Washington Post reports.

“The incident has left Democrats and Republicans bracing themselves for yet another showdown between the president and his political opponents — one that threatens to usher in a new era of the kind of crippling hyper-partisanship that often characterized the eight years of the Obama administration.”

Meanwhile, Politico reports that 18 House Democrats will not attend Trump’s inauguration.
