Whoa, this is wild.

Either Thune played Johnson or Johnson tried to play us and failed. Either way, Johnson looks like a fool and Trump has lost his grip on Congress.

I have never heard of a default under circumstances remotely like this—the defendant fired his entire defense team, and new lawyers showed up on the first day of trial, and weren’t admitted in the district and one was literally an accused felon out of bail

it is frankly a *scathing* indictment of the White House press corps
I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

I have also been ruminating on it, turning it in my mind. The finger jab, his tone, the way he leaned in at her to intimidate, the way he glanced back at her later in the vid to see how it landed.

For me I think it’s that he’s just clearly so practiced at abuse, and all of that was on display.

For me it's the way the press pool just quietly went along with it because he's the president

The entire point of this country is that we don't have to let some guy do whatever he wants just because of his title. We don't have to respect him or go along with him just because he holds an office
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.

Early iterations of the Schedule F made the case that language in statute allowed the removal of civil service protections to senior officials.
Revised version leans into unitary executive theory: the civil service statute is unconstitutional. They are betting SCOTUS will go along.

can we appreciate just how badly Johnson and Trump played this Epstein vote? total failure of a pressure campaign, delayed for months to ensure it stays in the news and immediately swamps "the Dems caved" as soon as the shutdown ends, and now it passes 427-1

couldn't have gone worse if they tried

Clay Higgins was the only member of the House to vote against releasing the Epstein files.

His record also includes allegedly putting a gun to the head of one of his ex-wives, voting for a neo-Nazi, and assaulting an unarmed Black man while working as a cop.
