Previously the administration cared. Now it’s taking a chainsaw.

I’m not sure if NYT is trying to soothe our anxieties or make us complacent.

I think the level of access to the president and unscrupulous/amoral actors in the administration is unrivaled and will lead to unprecedented outcomes.

IMO it’s like predicting in January 2020 that the US would be unscathed from Covid because we have had +100 years without an extreme pandemic.
