Catastrophic.

This admin is intentionally inundating us with a firehose of chaos. It’s hard to keep track, to stay on top of it all. That is what they want. Your overwhelm is part of their strategy.

But you don’t need to fight at every front. Pick your front, pick what you know or love best, and start there.

That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.
