Trump's GOP Family Reunion: Epstein, National Guards & Solar Fails

In the latest episode of 'Republicans Try to Agree,' Marjorie Taylor Greene, once Trump’s biggest groupie, teams with Kentucky’s Thomas Massie to demand the mysterious Epstein files while whining about a federal shutdown that’s jacking up health insurance costs. Meanwhile, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt grumbles about Trump shipping Texas troops to Illinois because states’ rights apparently include not getting uninvited soldiers—unless it’s your own troops, that is. Utah’s Spencer Cox mourns the canceled giant solar project, fearing China will win an AI/energy arms race like it’s the Olympics. Toss in Ted Cruz likening FCC threats to mafia hits, Susan Collins scolding budget chiefs over furloughs, and ex-candidate Vivek Ramaswamy lamenting ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel suspension. Pro-Trump activists like Laura Loomer finger these rebels as ingrates who think they can walk without Trump’s endorsement. The GOP strategist wisdom? Distance from Trump to survive 2026, because hey, we’re all terrible drivers of our own political lanes.
