Key Takeaways

  • Desantis’ 2028 glare: a political inevitability cloaked as a ‘second look’ bonus—branding, not policy, drives intrigue.
  • DOJ critique doubles as a broader GOP indictment: weaponize perception, expose procedural fragility, demand accountability.
  • Independence myth debunked: accountability must reach top brass; presidents must sweep, reshuffle, and recalibrate power centers.
  • DC vs. flyover reforms: parceling agencies outward could restore legitimacy and broaden political representation, not just punishment.
  • RFK Jr. aside, fix the swamp with bipartisan task forces and real structural reform—less drama, more governance surgery.
