Hey, Molly.
Hey, Ryan.
So it's the third week of Donald Trump's presidency, and again, it has been another week of what feels like non stop news.
We had tariffs, we had the dismantling of a $40 billion government agency, USAID, and we had Trump saying that the US should take over Gaza.
Never a dull moment.
So what is it like being a reporter right now in Washington?
Well, it's very busy.
A lot of people liken it to trying to drink from a fire hose.
There's so much happening that it's difficult for any one person to keep track of it all.
How long do you think the Trump administration can keep up this pace?
There's a lot of speculation about that, and we don't know.
On the one hand, they clearly want to make an early splash that they can then either dial back or modulate in some ways.
On the other hand, they do want to take this approach to vast swaths of the government.
So it could continue in this way for quite some time.
And as someone who covered the first Trump administration, that was pretty intense, pretty much throughout.
All right, so there is, once again, a lot to talk about from the Journal.
This is Trump 2.0.
I'm Ryan Knudsen.
And I'm Molly Ball.
It's Friday, February 7th.
