What's happening right now - Portland, outing of an FBI source, empowering of DHS as an Interior Ministry - are all the result of the United States operating without an actual president, and the emergence of Bill Barr as the de fact head of the Executive Branch. /1

Only Barr and DHS have the ability to extend state power immediately to U.S. citizens, inside the United States. Defense, State, etc, have none of these powers at hand. Trump is functionally incapacitated, and Barr knows it, and he's stepped in as the Acting President. /2

The president has gone bye-bye at this point; that makes Barr, without any control on his powers, a kind of super-Interior Minister, keeping "order" as he sees fit. This is a total collapse of constitutional order within the Executive branch, because of Trump's incapacity. /3

This makes Barr the most dangerous man in the United States government right now.
Courts and state AGs and state authorities - and not naked protesters - need to step into his way. (Protesters, stop helping Barr. Because you are.)
