Partly because of the courts and partly because the White House keeps stepping on rakes or trying to break everything, the Dems who were too chill about Trump pre- and post-election have fully moved into 'threat to the Republic' mode. Meanwhile, angry bureaucrats, particularly at the FBI, are digging in. But don't be sanguine because the administration is still trying to take a wrecking ball to the civil service— anything that goes wrong that involves the government though (like that measles outbreak in Texas) they're going to own from here on out. Plus, Trump's dirty energy policy, the challenge of getting his tax cuts through Congress, and Kanye goes all in on Hitler.

stepping on rakes. sad that our hope is on the kakistocracy stepping on rakes, but they're doing just that and I'm glad for it.
Ezra Klein is only marginally better than MAGA fascists - he's a privileged neoliberal apologist who can go fuck himself. Cant stand this guy.
Ezra there was a terrorist attack that Bush didn't catch and he was stronger than ever after it what are you talking about you Ivory Tower blockhead.
Gee Ezra it's so cool wow, you said the driz effect whew that'll fix everything
not a good strategy. but will they do it anyway? who said they are strategically smart? they're driven to advance the agenda of a cult leader. strategy? does it matter? if what's broken can't be fixed and what's put in its place is a totalitarian structure that just squashes opposition from the people whether they were aware of the problem earlier or just woke up to it is that genius, does that strategy make any difference once the secret police are making arrests and Congress is dissolved?
I will be happy if I prove to be wrong. but in the first 5 minutes or so I hear Klein saying as though it's a good thing that musk's minions are only allowed to read not write in and if that has been upheld somehow. you really believe them? you don't have the ability to imagine they will lie and do what the hell they want anyway? come on man as Joey would say
