Today's Brian



Marjorie Taylor Green is not the Speaker Of the House - but Kevin McCarthy has to coddle her in order to keep the Loudmouth Caucus in line, which means she's calling the shots, so yeah - at the very least, she's The Shadow Speaker.

Marjorie Taylor Green is also not the head of the GOP, but she's the Queen Of The Wingnuts, and so yeah - she kinda is in charge of the party's immediate fortune, so she's calling the shots there too.

Greene has captured a significant minority voting bloc, which gives her enormously out-sized power. Right now, she's still more or less sheltered by being Trump's surrogate, so the question is: How long before she's able to cut him loose so she can go whole hog on her own?



And is everybody good with the Rick Scott thing?

How much more clearly do Republicans have to say it? Right now, we have the basics in place for good solid civic stability - Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid - and the GOP is absolutely intent on killing it all off. Why is that?
