The dismantling of science/education is up there with the erosion of international trust as long-lasting disaster legacies of the Trump administration that will not be reversed any time soon.
Trump 2.0 has blown up US scientific research in a way that will take decades to roll back. Labs that took years to build have closed, young people have left science. NYT Mag published a long report on Dismantling Cancer Research.
Why does Ross Douthat lie like this?

also, describing a lack of legislative capacity as a point against authoritarian consolidation misses the point: the defining feature of Trump’s second term is consolidation of power in the *executive* - the lack of legislative authorization makes him more authoritarian, not less

The Trump admin gave Phil Alito, Sam Alito's son, a political appointee job as a Treasury Dept lawyer in 2025.
The judge never disclosed it during the tariff case. Now the fight over the Treasury's J6 slush fund could reach the high court too.

U.S. households have paid an extra $268 every week in fuel costs since the start of Trump’s Iran War.
With the spike, it's estimated that ExxonMobil’s full-year earnings will climb 46%.
And Chevron's profits are expected to jump 56% for the year.
It’s far past time for a windfall profits tax.

Quite the contrast:
In one part of the Epstein files, DOJ published unredacted nude images of women and potentially minors.
In another part, officials redacted President Trump’s face from a news image that was shared in a text exchange.

The Trump Administration Arrested Don Lemon Like He Was a Fugitive Slave
Lemon's arrest is not only a clear violation of the First Amendment but also a blatant throwback to the Constitution's long-discarded Fugitive Slave Clause.
