Make A Big Deal Of This

 The firing of Andrew Saul is going to become another synthetic outrage on the Right. It's going to be "like Hitler only worse." 

Democrats need to be proactive in ways that they often struggle to be. Some of this is a product of an undeserved faith in Americans to understand the truth, some of the presence of the Rightwing Wurlitzer, some of it is that traditional journalistic practices default to a "he said/she said" dynamic that obscures Republican lies.

Anyway, the article notes that interest groups for the elderly and disabled are hailing this move, because Saul was delaying checks and making it harder to qualify for benefits. This is basically the Louis DeJoy method of running a federal agency. Make it run like shit to undermine public faith in the government's ability to do basic tasks.

As I've mentioned before, restoring the ability of the bureaucracy to function - from the postal service to the IRS to Social Security to NOAA - has to be a primary focus of the Biden Administration, and to their immense credit it appears to be so.
