Washington apparently looked at ordinary political headlines and decided, “No thanks.” Instead, it turned the drama settings all the way up and hit the giant red button marked: MAXIMUM CHAOS MODE.
Just when people thought the capital had already delivered enough twists this year, a new episode suddenly dropped — and this one arrived with scandal whispers, economic suspense, and international tension all packed into the same oversized suitcase.
The headline sending people into detective mode?
Mike Banks, the Trump-appointed Border Patrol chief, suddenly resigned with an “effective immediately” exit.
Immediately?
Not next month.
Not after a transition period.
Not after a farewell speech with emotional background music.
Immediately.
The political internet collectively raised one eyebrow.
Then both eyebrows.
Then perhaps several extra eyebrows.
