assertive reactive politically vigilant

Secretary of the Interior detonates swift backlash to the President's environmental speech, ringing Sam Seaborn amid cascading complaints from GDC chair and congressmen. This cabinet heavyweight exposes jagged fault lines in administration messaging, where Oval surprises on eco-terrorism blindside departmental allies. Thrust into Sam's bitter ledger during Toby hallway showdown, the Secretary galvanizes West Wing rifts, embodying institutional pushback that propels narrative toward Oval Office reckonings and tests loyalty amid policy whiplash.
