The recent MTG about-face definitely makes the most sense if she somehow saw or caught wind of the contents of emails we have now seen a few weeks back.
That sudden and strange 180 with no foreshadowing is best explained by a survival drive.

Been on calls all day and legit cannot tell if the Epstein files have been released or what’s happening right now.
Think I just say an email between Epstein and Deepak Chopra with some sort of “expand your consciousness” footer.
Perhaps today I’ll just let my consciousness remain unexpanded.

It’s definitely pretty bleak to have Elon out there promoting his own insane version of reality.
But I suppose it’s also somewhat derivative, like the core problem here is people viewing LLMs as “truth oracles” which they are not, because that’s not a thing and it will never be a thing.

The Democratic Party is becoming harder to believe in — there’s no unifying theme, no shared ethos.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I had this edgelord professor I didn’t like much who had a bit where he’d talk about how voting was an irrational act because the chance your one vote would make a difference vs. the opportunity cost of taking the time to vote blah blah.
Thinking about that for no particular reason.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate.
Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.
