Zum Beispiel die Kurzzeit-Gewerks-Fundungsbill, die gerade über die Haustür geführt wurde. Unabhängig von einem Republikaner, Tom Smassey, der einfach seine eigene Person ist. Das ist literally the same kind of short-term spending bill that they hate so much that they ousted Kevin McCarthy because of it. And now Trump told them that he wants it, so they fall in line.
So they are more united right now because of Trump. He is holding it together. And no one wants to cross it. His power over the party is near total. So there's really no room to end. So they are more together. I'd say like the top line out of this Congress so far is that they've just ceded their power completely to the White House.

Like in this Jeff Goldberg group chat story, like the Congress has, is part of this story. They confirmed Pete Hegseth to be Defense Secretary. Like they have some responsibility here for what's happening because they have happily just handed over the power to Trump.

Well, first of all, let's remember, this is a hearing that's happening at night to start with. And why is it happening at night? Because some of the members who are on this committee had spent their workday that day in Manhattan, outside of the federal courthouse where Trump was on trial, defending him because a gag order prevented him from speaking for himself.

So it's already a little emotional, like different vibe when you start a hearing at 8 p.m. Famously, like anything that starts in the evening in Congress, many people are drunk.

What happens here is that Greene makes what Crockett thinks is a racist attack, kind of making fun of her eyelashes, which Crockett in an interview later told us. She's seen those attacks online. It's like a ghetto girl thing. And Marjorie Taylor Greene was picking up a loaded comment to make a comment about her. And all the crazy things that Greene has said during her time in Congress –
