Starts at about 11 min, ends at 1 hour 22 min. In the parts I could listen to (about 10 minutes then skipped through a bit). I heard a lot of statements about holding powerful men accountable, but nothing that would clearly point at the felon.

But nothing about knowing all about "the girls" long ago and therefore, at a minimum, complicit in the ongoing conduct by remaining silent and enabling it.

But MTG was clear and sobering in her messaging. I hope she is stepping out of the cult. I saw this with much caution.

She needs to first humbly apologize to (Hogg?) the school shooting survivor she harassed,
before I can ever believe she's sincerely charged her spots

Else she's just an early rat leaving Dirty Donald's sinking ship

I don't trust her one little bit, she's still evil. She's just seen the writing on the wall before most of the other cult members.

The fact is she was able to accept, if not approve of, much of the MAGA agenda. Her position on the Epstein issue is a necessary, but insufficient condition to warrant trust. Time will tell.

She might change some of what she believes, but she’s still a snake and still only out for MTG.

By 2028 she will be a seasoned and dignified states-person whose courage to stand up to Trump will be admired and respected by one and all (well not all).

Ossof is off to a good start. Fundraising looks good and republicans are pretty divided. I also see that his approval rating is at 51/34 approval which isn’t bad in a battleground state.

If democrats manage to make it a wave election next year, he should win. That will be one very expensive senate race.

I think Warnock will also be in good shape heading into 2028, unless Kemp runs. That could make things more challenging.

MTG is working overtime to rehabilitate her image, but she’s done enough damage. No democrat is going to fall for her BS contrition, and MAGAts hate her now.

But I question her motives

She still deserves to be investigated for insider trading and there's still the pipe bomber speculation.

I don't trust her

She'll get primaried out of the race.

Same with any effort to win a Senate election - the Republican base won't allow her to get to the general election.

She can't be taken credibly if she runs as a Democrat; her track record is just too strongly against such a switch.
