Ring out the old. If there was ever a year "whose end could not come soon enough" 2025 certainly rises to the top, where Donald Trump's wrecking crew piled horror on horror in ways leaving us numb. Let's "dance on its grave and drink buckets of champagne in honor of its demise." @sbg1.bsky.social

My year-end column, on Trump’s Golden Age of Awful:
No matter how low one’s expectations were for 2025, the most striking thing about the year when Donald Trump became President again is how much worse it turned out to be. @sbg1.bsky.social assesses the damage.

My year-end column, on Trump’s Golden Age of Awful:
An incredible piece documenting the purposeful trauma inflicted on thousands of government employees.
This WaPo piece weaves together an incredibly powerful story about the way Trump has devastated government and the dedicated people who wake up every day to serve the public. wapo.st/4b14KAy
The year Trump broke the federal government
How DOGE and the White House carried out a once-unthinkable transformation of the nation’s sprawling bureaucracy.

When Trump visited Mount Vernon in 2018, he couldn't understand why George Washington didn't name it after himself. “You’ve got to put your name on stuff or no one remembers you.” Reupping this prescient piece from @politico.com which seems pretty relevant today. www.politico.com/story/2019/0...
Trump’s ‘truly bizarre’ visit to Mt. Vernon
The 45th president — no student of history — marveled at the first president's failure to name his historic compound after himself.
