Before Our Eyes

One question, among the several thousand we should be asking, is What is the endgame for Trump and Musk and the Heritage Foundation?

Should we hold out for something positive to come of this blitzkrieg of firings and furloughs and funding stops and horrible nominees, or is it exactly as it seems—a brazen assault on checks and balances, a really bad morality tale? Nothing more than Trump and the rest having a field day wreaking revenge and lining their pockets, with no accounting for consequences and ripple effects? That’s what it’s looking like, so far.

Trump is showing up at the Super Bowl tomorrow. Why would he do that? Is he so needy that he has to be seen by millions around the world, maybe show up Tay-tay? What’s the calculus behind this move? Is it Caligula at the Colosseum, or just little Donnie needing an ego boost?

May he get booed out of the place.
