This article was featured in the One Story to Read Today newsletter. Sign up for it here. Earlier this month, after it became clear that the Trump administration would not be facilitating the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia from a Salvadoran megaprison, I texted a close childhood friend. He’d voted for Donald Trump in each of the past three presidential elections, and I asked for his evaluation. “Trump might be taking it too far,” my friend replied.

Qualche giorno fa, quando è apparso evidente che l’amministrazione Trump non avrebbe facilitato il ritorno nel paese di Kilmar Ábrego García da una prigione di massima sicurezza in Salvador, ho inviato un messaggio a un mio amico d’infanzia che ha votato per Donald Trump alle ultime tre elezioni presidenziali. Volevo chiedergli quale fosse la sua opinione sulla vicenda. “Forse Trump si sta spingendo troppo oltre”, ha ammesso. “Ma lo fa perché è un uomo d’azione e noi volevamo un cambiamento”.

For federal workers, the problem isn’t just low morale. It’s the dysfunction. The employees who have so far survived the Trump administration’s federal defenestration project are morose. For some, the new workload is untenable. For others, chaos reigns. Scientists have been unable to purchase mice for research, while human-tissue samples have sat on dry ice, unsent, thanks to worker layoffs.

The opposition arrived in a flurry of painted cardboard. Until this week, the 11th of Donald Trump’s second presidency, the resistance has not exactly been upper-case R. Any show of dissent by Democratic leadership has been virtually nonexistent, and protests against Trump’s policies have been small and sporadic. Citizen frustration with the new administration has registered nationally as little more than a distant rumble.
