"Congress is still on vacation... it is insane right now that the DHS is still shut down, the war is still ongoing, Trump is threatening a massive escalation tomorrow — and Congress is on vacation right now. It's truly crazy." Tim Miller and Bill Kristol on our absent Congress.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress won't reject the possibility of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. That is deeply concerning. Ms. Maxwell is a monster who herself abused children. She does not deserve a pardon.

Republicans control Congress and the White House. It is on them to govern, and if they want Democratic votes, they need to come to the table. If not, Trump and Republicans the pain that the American people will feel from a government shutdown is on them.

This notion that Republicans are coasting right now and the wind is beneath the sails of Donald Trump is just not true. Joni Ernst is not going to run for reelection in Iowa. There was a special election in Iowa earlier this week and the Democrats have now broken the Republican super majority. The polling on the generic ballot has Democrats up five to eight points. It's not looking that peachy for Republicans.

CNN just aired a montage of Republicans in Congress, right after January 6, squarely blaming Trump for the insurrection. This is an important reminder as Trump and MAGA Republicans now attempt to rewrite history and target Liz Cheney for investigating Trump’s actions on that day and the events leading up to it.

Republicans in Congress are not delivering on the mandate given to them by the American people! There is no wedge between the American people and Pres Trump. As usual, there is a wedge between the American people and establishment Republicans who are dragging their feet on passing President Trump’s America First MAGA agenda!
