“The first six weeks of this administration have felt like a year. Every day brings a firehose of brazen corruption, mad power grabs and jaw-dropping idiocy. And that of course is the point. Trump aides and allies like Russ Vought, Stephen Miller, and Steve Bannon have said for months that their plan is to overwhelm the press, public, and critics with so much activity that no one can possibly keep up. This roundup is a snapshot of what we saw over just a single five-day period — February 21 – 25. Incredibly, includes a weekend! Not long ago, more than half of these bullet points would have been enough to bring down an administration. Instead, many weren’t news for more than a couple hours.” (02/27/25)
