Exhausted AF But, Still, We Persist (and Resist)
Summary
<p>This week's Elephant in the Room is exhaustion. You're feeling it, we're feeling it, and Trump and his administration are feeling it. Trump is falling asleep during meetings, and for his staffers, living in fear is draining. Overthrowing a democracy consumes a lot of energy from all sides. We knew another Trump term would mean another serious bout of adrenal fatigue, but this time, the array of high-stakes, stressful headlines is on another level. </p><p><br /></p><p>・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・</p><p><br /></p><p>You can follow Rick Wilson at @TheRickWilson on X and @therickwilson.bsky.social on Bluesky, and subscribe to his Substack at <a href="http://therickwilson.substack.com/">therickwilson.substack.com</a> where he writes several pieces every week and hosts live chats with the top political minds. </p><p><br /></p><p>Join the fight with the Lincoln Project at <a href="http://www.lincolnproject.us/">www.lincolnproject.us</a> and follow LP on X at @ProjectLincoln.
