On to the Senate

[HALL85]

Ball is in Democrats hands….do they take responsibility for shutdown?

Republicans rolling the dice on DOGE for continued cuts. Curious timing with announcement that DOE will cut half of its staff.

A bit of a meltdown and talk of going after Schumer in the primary. Fetterman becoming the voice of reason too.

Chuckle caved as I thought he would.

Had someone pose a conspiracy theory today that I laughed off, but thought it was worth sharing. The whole making public of the Epstein files kind of came out of nowhere and there was that redacted false alarm last week about the release that has gone radio silent. The theory is that there is incriminating information and photos on Democrats and Republicans, and with Biodi and Patel in charge, the risk they will release at Trumps order. Why does a guy like Schumer fall in line? Why do Republicans toe the line with a tiny majority? It’s a scorched earth card to play because it burns down the house on everyone, but as long as his agenda keeps moving there is no need.
