Summary from the other side of the paywall? 🙏 I haven't seen NYT allow much hardball writing through to publication so I don't want to get my hopes up on title alone...
"Trump’s political capital is thin." If that was true, then how is it he is holding the entire Senate Republicans hostage, unable to do anything but what he wants. This keeps the focus on that what he is doing is illegal, not grasping that we are way past that.
It worked. Great read. Trump’s method is to overwhelm with chaos and bully and bluff. The real worry is w Musk and his cyberattack of our monetary systems.
@bradleywhitford.bsky.social Thank you for this. West Wing got me through the first term and will (hopefully) get me through this one. Shout out to @joshuamalina.bsky.social and West Wing Weekly for bringing life to your work. ❤️
I calculated it out, you can watch one episode of West Wing every 9 days starting on Inauguration day and the Bartlet Administration will last the entirety of the Trump one...

I will not go gently into that dark night.

Maybe it wouldn’t have been so “listless” if institutions like your newspaper hadn’t spent four years sane-washing Felon47 and rat-fucking Biden.
