“It’s easy to get bogged down in the mire of so many crazy and dangerous things happening at such a rapid pace — the ‘flood the zone with shit’ tactic, as Steve Bannon memorably put it. It is important to resist the big picture being crowded out by the nearly impossible task of responding to each outrage individually and in isolation. And the big picture is we now have a federal executive, the most powerful official on the planet, acting on the firm belief that he is not constrained by the rule of law and determined to run roughshod over the other two branches of government. … The reality we face is grim, but not hopeless — yet.” (06/04/25)
