Trump’s banning of entire media outlines is part and parcel of what authoritarians do to a free press. Authoritarians simply do not like a free press — and the latest escalation from Trump is a dangerous moment for a functioning democracy.

BREAKING WaPo:

A federal judge just ruled that the Trump admin broke the law when it ordered a 50% cut in FEMA employees — including thousands of on-call workers who respond to disasters.
Federal judge rules Trump plan to cut FEMA by 50 percent was unlawful
The judge said the plan, put together by DHS, appeared as if it was "pulled from thin air" and would impede FEMA's ability to fulfill its legally mandated duty to respond to disasters.

Old norms are uplifted, old habits are forcibly broken, and your current way of life no longer can sustain itself.

I'd say the "root cause" is narcissistic billionaire babies who are way out of their depth in usurping NASA's role in all of this.
"It's too early to know the root cause but we're already working to find it," Jeff Bezos said via X. "Very rough day, but we'll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It's worth it."
