I was happy to speak to @tombedsall.bsky.social for this article, alongside @jacobheilbrunn.bsky.social and Sam Tannenhaus.
President Trump “has reaffirmed his adherence to the MAGA principle that there should be no enemies on the right, no matter who they are or what they believe,” Thomas Edsall writes.

I've been shown what purports to be a draft version of a soon to be released Executive Order reorganizing the State Dept. The chain of custody is a bit indirect and it's important to be clear that there can be many versions of such orders circulating and they can be subject to subsequent edits etc.
