If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

But Trump has still frozen the $2.2B in grants and contracts, and has still directed the IRS to revoke Harvard's tax-free status... Just like the Misadministration admitted they sent Abrego-Garcia to CECOT in error, but he's still incarcerated in El Salvador.
