He’s eyeing a 60% threshold, but some want to go even higher.

Massie's prediction that the Administration would use the bogus Trump-directed "investigations" of Bill Clinton and Reid Hoffman as an excuse to continue blocking release of the Epstein files, on the spurious grounds that it's an ongoing investigation, is looking pretty good here

My transcription of the "joking" threat Trump just made at the Saudi Investment Forum to fire Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who was sitting in front of him at the time
![Interest rates are down despite the Fed, I mean, [Secretary of the Treasury] Scott [Bessent] you gotta work on this guy [Fed Chair Jerome Powell], he’s got some real mental problems, he’s- something wrong with him, it’s just ridiculous.
I – be honest – I’d love to fire his ass, he should be fired. Guy’s grossly incompetent, and he should be sued for spending four billion dollars to build a little building. I’m building a ballroom that’s gonna cost a tiny fraction of that and it’s bigger than the whole thing put together. You gotta work on him Scott.
The only thing Scott’s blowing it on, because the Fed – the rates are too high Scott. And if you don’t get it fixed fast, I’m gonna fire your ass, ok?
I can’t tell you – Scott: “Sir, don’t fire him [Powell]. Please don’t fire him. He’s got three months to go, don’t fire him.”
“I wanna get him out, Scott!”
“Please” – he’s [Bessent] the voice of reason, you’re very lucky to have him, I’ll tell ya that.
I think [Secretary of Commerce] Howard [Lutnick]’s a little bit more for firing him. Right Howard? I think Howard would say “get him the hell out of there.” Anyway.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:k7eezr2ybq7cxtptak2q4uhp/bafkreihhdrf7fwr3jmcq6icjznxqo3rgaqfovdf7wc674bbbc3dsmqzw44@jpeg)

Hours after Speaker Mike Johnson confidently declared that Senate Republicans would "fix" Thomas Massie's bill requiring release of the Epstein files, the Senate just passed the bill as is by unanimous consent without any changes. A massive, embarrassing debacle for Johnson.

Totally fine with people breaking from party orthodoxy to criticize bad behavior. What I object to here, and what imo she did wrong, is forcing the entire House to vote on it. Politicians have numerous mechanisms at their disposal to register disapproval without making it our legislative business

On the whole this hasn't been a great year but imo that's all the more reason to recognize when we have wins that show we are not powerless.
Right now, the Trump Administration is basically getting routed and/or in retreat on several key fronts.
We are not powerless! We can do things! Consider-
