Yeah, and I think that that is something that can trickle down, to your point, into the Maine, Ohio, Alaska Senate race, right?

Which is Donald Trump's putting up a guy that's going to continue the Epstein cover-up.

And Susan Collins and Dan Sullivan and John Husted, we'll see, but seem to be going along with that.

On the other nominations front, so Bill Pulte,

who was put forth to be the acting director of national intelligence, absurd nomination, of course.

So interesting things are happening there.

We are finally seeing some minor Republican backbone on this one.

And basically going along with the Democrats, they're using this FISA reauthorization as evidence.

kind of like the hostage to try to prevent Bill Pulte from becoming DNI, saying that they won't reauthorize FISA if Pulte is in there.

I think that's interesting.

Does Trump actually care about that that much?

Unclear.

But we have kind of an example of something that I know you've been arguing about for a lot over the last year and a half, which is, you know, Democrats are the minority, but and also a handful of Republicans, like actually using the levers of power they have to try to

limit Trump from kind of his worst instincts and impulses.

Who's at the Times in the House, right?

Who's in the Senate?

Yeah, Mark Warner in the Senate.

But why would Trump do that, right?

I guess to my end, I think Trump obviously seems more interested in having Bill Pulte in there at DNI creating problems for his enemies than he cares about FISA or the particulars of protecting the country.

Trump doesn't give a fuck about protecting the country.
