In this week’s Two Brothers Talking, Don and I unpacked Marjorie Taylor Greene’s unexpected decision to publicly blame her own party’s leadership for the government shutdown. Her break with GOP strategy — even calling for ACA subsidies to be renewed — suggests that there could be a broader reckoning inside the Republican Party as Trump’s grip begins to weaken.
Whether MTG is positioning herself for a post-Trump GOP or simply seizing a moment, it signals cracks that could widen as midterms approach.
We then turned to the ceasefire deal in Gaza. While any pause in the violence brings relief, the plan leaves huge questions unanswered: Who will govern Gaza? How will humanitarian aid actually reach civilians? And will redevelopment become another avenue for profiteering by Trump allies and Netanyahu’s circle? As Don and I discussed, Trump seems more focused on claiming a Nobel Peace Prize than ensuring long-term stability.
