So I think we are at a very uncertain point in this administration where a lot of things could go in one direction or another. That big, beautiful bill that's working its way through Congress, the rubber is really hitting the road. It's going to be very difficult. to write this bill in a way that will enable it to pass the House and Senate where Republicans have such narrow majorities.

And that is very much sort of hanging by a thread and it could blow up and be a disaster or they could succeed in changing the face of American government through this big, beautiful piece of legislation. So I think there's a lot that we're still waiting to see and a lot that we'll know more about when the second 100 days rolls around.

Well, we saw a big crack this week with the ouster of the National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz, who's, I think, the first major member of the administration to lose his job. Now, Trump announced late yesterday that he's actually going to be nominated for U.N. ambassador.

But, of course, this comes after the Signalgate controversy that he was involved in and after he had become sort of unpopular within the White House. So a lot of the same kind of infighting, backbiting palace intrigue that marked the first Trump administration also now seems to be a feature of this one.

But the upshot of it is that now that someone has been ousted, you cannot say that this is the same administration that came in on day one and everything is sort of intact anymore. And I think you also see that the opposition is sort of waking up. The Democrats are still very disorganized, very unpopular.

I think they still haven't really come to consensus on who's the face of the party or what they want it to stand for going forward. But the rank and file is not waiting for that. And we have seen in these town halls of Republicans and Democrats alike, where people are coming out of the woodwork to go out and yell at their member of Congress.
