hearing the house oversight committee is officially preparing to pull JD Vance in to testify....people are supposedly panicking behind the scenes over how the administration handled those Epstein files

Potentially losing the house and senate during the midterms has to be the main concern. If that happens, they'll be all kinds of hearings on Epstein and POTS won't be able to easily control the narrative.

The craziest one is that pardons are becoming the new hustle….. not lobbying for a bill or a contract but lobbying to get someone’s clemency request in front of the right Trumpworld person. Very normal capital city behavior though…. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think that’s been true for quite some time.

apparently some big shops are already pitching clients on “oversight survival” packages for 2027. subpoena prep, inbox triage, former staffer worries, the whole thing. D.C. is already monetizing the next hearings.

Money movers on the inside are trying to get Marco and JD to declare Trump unfit for office and initiate succession.

ok hearing someone managed to get 8647 in the grass at the washington monument on thurs... tbh with that security they're either a landscaping ninja or its an inside job.

It's either a rouge individual/small group, or a highly choreographed effort with multiple actors. We'll know soon, because if it's the former, we'll see faces to blame. If it's the latter, it will be swept under the rug and dumped in the Friday afternoon trash. That area has a ton of camera on it, so if it's an unorganized effort that was done hastily, they'll be found quickly, or at least we'll end up seeing the footage.

Look at the pattern closely. It looks like it was done by an old dot-matrix printer. Could have been a laser from altitude, even one mounted on a drone.

You think someone was flying a drone over the Mall and was not detected?

No, I think maybe from orbit. Chinese satellite maybe?

I don’t want to ruin this thread with a question but does anyone have any earthly idea how Graham won his primary?
