Hey, everybody, Timor from the bulwark here. I just got off with Nicole and I'm usually on with her for the whole hour, but that's a crazy news environment. They kicked me out early. That's some other shit to say. So I'm going to say it here with y'all. And I can stick around at the end for our exchange, which is focused on the failed effort to indict six Democrats at the grand jury there in the DMV.

And boy, what just a disastrous failure by this administration to go after those six Democrats

and like just get resoundly rejected by a grand jury. Now they're going back for a second bite. I guess this is kind of like a thank you, sir. May I have another situation, it seems like. But we'll keep an eye on that. But one of the things I want to get into with regards to that is column by my colleague Joe Perticokean, who writes the press pass newsletter.

It's her newsletter about what's happened on Capitol Hill.

You can get that at the Blerc.com.

You should sign up if you haven't.

He talks about just how embarrassingly timid it is that none of the Republicans, basically with two

exceptions, have stood up for their Democratic colleagues who are being targeted by this administration.

I mean, it's really kind of unbelievable cowardice.

Can you imagine having working with somebody, being a colleague, and having, you know,

someone, you know, try a sham effort to run them out of the company.

And then you don't say anything.

I think back to like, you know, an 80s movie about a prep school, you know, where the dean is targeting a kid inappropriately.

Like, what do you learn?

What is the moral of all those stories?

Like, you stand up for your

classmate and your colleague, even if they're, you know, your rival or even if they, you don't like

them. They're not in the same, your same group. That's not happening with the Republicans. And,

you know, Mike Johnson, little twerps that he basically did think they committed a crime,

which to me, I just think that's, this is the beginning of the end of Mike Johnson's speakership.

And that is going to be a really dark quote for him to look back on when he's in the minority, when he realizes that his speakership is gone for good.

And he was trying to jail his colleagues saying they should be jailed for putting out a video where they simply said that members of the military should not follow unlawful orders. Members of the military should live up to their oath. That's all they said. Like Johnson thinks they should be jailed for that. Oh, yeah? Okay. Well, we comes around on that but i was intrigued by uh tom tillis who's retiring is finally found us behind
