      2. There's been an upsurge of talk about the Deep State. I feel party guilty for this because of tweets like thishttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/798934905933545472 …

      3. I've used the Deep State as a convenient twitter short hand for the permanent government that doesn't change with elections.

      4. Like "society" or "the military-industrial complex," the Deep State isn't something you can point to. It's a series of relationships

      5. This @jacobinmag does a job of pointing out conceptual limits of idea of Deep State:https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/02/deep-state-michael-flynn-leaks-federal-bureaucracy-trump/ …

      6. The "state" isn't homogenous or centralized but a defuse site of many power struggles.

      7. Instead of a Deep State, more accurate to talk about a factionalized Permanent Government.

      8. Within the Permanent Government there are clearly pro-Trump factions (parts of FBI) as well as anti-Trump ones.

      9. Trump's chaotic management style is a big reason fissures within Permanent Gov't are now much more visible.

      10. Other big reason Permanent Gov't (or Deep State) is leaking more is Congress is derelict in constitutional duty to check POTUS

      12. One danger: Trump uses bogeyman of "Deep State" the way Erdogan did, to strengthen authoritarian hold on nation.
