The sound you are hearing from the Trump administration is political panic. Because of all the corruption they cannot afford to lose the 2026 midterms, but they know in a free vote they are looking at defeat.
The implication of this is that they will try to thwart a free vote.

The last few hours have proven 2 terrible things. First, the US and Russian governments are so close that the US government takes large parts of Russian proposals and passes them off as their own, and second that some people are so desperate to exonerate Trump that they act like this a good thing.

At this point X is like 1950s Vienna, a whole place made up entirely of spies, running ops against other spies, with no non-spy people. Or maybe like a 1971 Black Panthers convention where 3/4 of the attendees are conintelrpo.

If the parties were reversed here, we’d currently be blanketed with ads and speeches detailing all the crimes that were later committed by people who assaulted police but were pardoned by the president.

The message from Trump is crystal clear - if you beat the hell of out police, if you threaten to kill FBI officers - I will make sure you get away with it if you are breaking the law to keep me in power.
If you don't see it, this is a message about 2028.
