It’s All Going According To Plan

So this is funny.
The administration issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. To justify it, Trump's Labor Dept alleges in a filing that Trump's immigration enforcement is destroying the Ag workforce & risking widespread food shortages. https://t.co/iuzEA4adeB pic.twitter.com/K44njCFoC1

It's really weird Lindsey doesn't remember testifying to a GJ in GA, which is a whole lot more intrusive than call records. https://t.co/WUEhCVNG5P

"What’s going on with Marjorie?”—DJT

“I’m not some sort of blind slave to the president, and I don’t think anyone should be,” [Marjorie Taylor] Greene said in an interview. “I serve in Congress. We’re a separate branch of the government, and I’m not elected by the president. I’m not elected by anyone that works in the White House. I’m elected by my district. That’s who I work for, and I got elected without the president’s endorsement, and, you know, I think that has served me really well.”

It’s coming to an end guys. I’ve spoken to a lot of House Republicans this week and they’ve confided that Trump’s movement/support is fading. As one told me, “this Epstein bomb is about to drop and no want wants to defend a pedo-protector. It’s just a matter of time.”

Mike Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis -- I don't know the details, I just saw a headline this morning -- but there are some legal analysts who are saying that might not be appropriate or necessary ... if that is true, that should turn up the urgency."

I’m beginning to think we’ve pretty much worn out this constitutional structure.
