Muzzle velocity was built on the idea that the Trump administration had reserves of attention and focus that the rest of us did not. The reality is just the opposite. The White House has demands on its attention and focus that the rest of us do not. We are not responsible for managing or controlling everything from the labor market to A.I. policy to immigration enforcement and vaccine approvals. We will not be blamed for a measles outbreak or a recession. But the president will.
One of Ezra Klein's best pieces in a long time, that should both terrify you about the real-world consequences of Trump's fabricated crises spiraling out of control, but also give you hope that we have real power in our hands as we form pockets of resistance that can stay focused on fighting his individual overreaches while the only act he is capable of is to create new crises he can't manage
