The key to sorting through the mayhem is to not allow our focus to stray from what’s happening in Washington.
Forget about making Canada the fifty-first state, or changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico or annexing Greenland or razing Gaza and turning it into a resort. All that madness is in service of distraction.
The real news is Elon Musk’s overreach and easy access to information about us all. The real news is who’s being fired and furloughed, who’s being confirmed to fill important posts in the Cabinet and various organizations.
The real news is the insidiousness of it all, and the rate at which Project 2025 appears to be taking shape, along with the mind-numbing and thus far lackluster resistance. Since when can executive orders—pieces of paper—along with an unelected, self-interested and clueless loose cannon wield so much power?
The ugliness and destruction are moving at light speed.
