I'm nobody worth listening to but it's a really bad sign when energy goes down and prices are rising.

Yeah I should have just taken a look.
Everything is up except for energy and a couple of things are ever so slightly down like medical commodities (-0.1) and used cars (-0.4). New models come out in Fall so that might explain that one.
But yeah everything is up. Stagflation thanks to Trump.

the entire world I imagine a lot of categories might be up in similar ways.
I keep hearing them claim lower energy prices will bring everything down but that's bs. I assume energy is down somewhat. Trade wars lead to a lower demand for energy.

I could take a look but any key take aways for product categories?
People didn't pay attention to the vast differences between categories in 2021/2022 which made it clear inflation wasn't due in increases in the money supply, else all categories would go up. Since Trump puts tariffs on the

I like the term oubliette. It is a word that scares the crap out of me the more I think of it just as a related word does, oblivion.

join in to vote to pass the resolution.
This is significant.
He won't sign it into law but it is creating space within the base and elected officials to oppose Trump. That's unique.

changed, in part, not entirely but in part, because it revealed their own culpability and the culpability of the entire party.
It's different with this issue. We are seeing some elected officials oppose Trump and that's probably because the base isn't buying it.
I bet we will see dozens or more

the smallest crack to criticize or even oppose Trump. That permission structure doesn't exist within MAGA but we have seen signs of it with Epstein. It's a big deal because his cult of personality depends upon absolute loyalty.

I use the term wedge intentionally here. I'm sure there are plenty who are still clinging to the false belief Trump was working undercover to try and take Epstein down. Many will push the idea it's all fake.
The narrative seems to be failing. What matters is that some, not all, but some may create

It all depends upon the attention and pressure it brings. Typically, out of sight out of mind works in the Senate. Does it here?

Trump won't sign it into law.
I'm interested in how this can work to create a wedge in the Republican Party. It can work to create space for Republicans to be critical of Trump and it's already worked to that end to some extent. It's very significant irrespective of whether or not it passes.

Traditionally, it's been easy for the majority leader to put bills into a legislative oubliette. This one might be different. Also unpopular votes in the Senate are going to be getting a lot of media coverage coming up soon, budget and ACA, which keeps a focus on Congress.

True, but it also depends upon momentum here and political will. How successful will Trump be in getting his own base to stop caring about the issue? So far, that's failed. Thune might not want to be the person upon which this issue hinges.
It's entirely likely that could be the case.

where Grassley could play games.
But it's still very significant. It''s opening an issue for Republicans to break with Trump. That's huge. It places a ton of political pressure on Republicans.
We're going to see MAGA influencers (not all) try to get the base to stop caring about Epstein.

I think it will put much more political pressure on senators. I bet dozens maybe even a hundred more House Republicans vote for the resolution. Dems would need to gain 11-13 more senators to reach 60. Hawley will probably change his earlier vote. Paul may not. I think it would go to the Judiciary

They're always pressuring Republicans to normalize the worst stuff.

That's where I first heard it and I thought she said it came from Oscar Wilde in the episode. Maybe I'm wrong about that but it would be interesting if the writers intentionally misattributed it. All I know is that I used it a few times misattributing it to Wilde because that's what I remembered.

And maybe I'm wrong but the discharge petition allows them to vote on a House resolution to amend a bill but then they still have to vote on the bill, I think? And then it goes to the Senate and then Trump.
I'm not trying to be discouraging I'm just trying to figure out how Trump tries to sink it.

Yes for the discharge petition but it still comes up for a vote on the floor right? And then it comes up for another vote with the actual bill, I think?

I imagine Trump could sink this would be to just have it stall out in the Senate and have Lindsey Graham and Grassley tell the public they're working on a deal with the DOJ without the need for a vote.
But this definitely adds more political pressure. I wonder what will happen.

trying to work Republican senators to block this. He may have trouble with House members like Boebert but she can still vote against it when it comes up for vote. I imagine she won't. And this will pressure more Senators to adopt it as well.

There are what is it two more votes in the House and then it goes to the Senate which already tabled a similar amendment, with 49 senators voting in favor and 51 against, and then if it gets taken up in the Senate and if it passes Trump can still veto it right?
So Trump has probably moved on to
