W/the 2nd Trump administration, the pressure on the civil service has resumed, but w/greater policy focus as well as sweeping dismissals of employees & seizures of authority to spend & not spend. The Loyalty Trap should shape our expectations as creaks give way to groans and possibly ruptures. 3/3

institutional norms & administrative procedures were severely strained and even broken. In the upper ranks, some accommodated, some found spaces in which they could live up to ... professional norms. Others slow-walked work, took the option of exit, or occasionally engaged in vocal critique. 2/3
