Washington has gone from swamp to jungle. The old bureaucratic order has been hacked apart. Agencies are dismantled, norms discarded, and decision-making now flows from a single center.

The real spark was the firing, which transformed a soft number into headline-fueling chaos. In this wild new terrain, the king of the jungle moves with the majesty of Mufasa in The Lion King, even if every step draws fire.
