its interesting listening to this because its clearly a lower production value press conference. reporters getting follow up questions, everything less shouty way more time for reporters to pin the guy

uncertain. my guess is the core is still there but leadership is a fucking mess. i think its probably higher variance which is bad. like maybe theyre so shaken they go off half-cocked on the next thing, but the direction of that is unclear

hm, i wish i had your optimism re: the core. most of state was hollowed out under trump, and i don't think it's coming back. biden's administrative leadership is rather virtue-signal over substance, in terms of what attracts good civil servants.
