Text from article: By now it should be clear that we are not going to exit the Trump era, brush ourselves off, sweep our feet across the doormat, and stride into a brighter new era. It is still possible that Trump will become unpopular enough that Republican elites pretend they never heard of the guy. But without accountability and concerted de-Trumpification, his Democratic successors will struggle to explain why “normal” hasn’t returned, and the public will turn on them. Democrats will shoulder the anger if recovering from the Trump era requires austerity. They will not be able to govern if the crooks in Trump world fall back into the periphery of the political system and resume efforts to sabotage liberal government. When the next president has a hard time re-establishing alliances and U.S. cooperation—if the world moves on from America and some of the conveniences that we derive from U.S. hegemony disappear—the public will blame whoever is in charge. Permanently higher borrowing costs; permanently more expensive safety nets; less freedom of movement internationally. It will be much easier to arrest the normal process of forgetting if Democrats embrace the goal of Trump humiliation now. If peeling Trump’s name off the Kennedy Center is just a taste of what’s to come.

Text from article: It’s evident that the Trump administration hasn’t given much credence to the cautionary tale. The president lowered the drawbridge for screwworms last year when Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) slashed federal contributions to a robust U.S. Agency for International Development partner program with Panama, where the insects were confined to a remote isthmus for many decades. His DOGE initiative made deep staffing cuts to the USDA, under which the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is housed. APHIS employees represent the first line of defense against incoming parasites, inspecting the cattle awaiting import from Mexico to ensure no screwworms are hitching a ride. In one year under Trump, APHIS staffing has been drained of 1,885 employees, a 23 percent reduction. Screwworms specialize in exploiting these sort of free-bleeding cuts.
