We have elected officials treating public office like a personal conspiracy club while real issues — like the weaponization of tariffs, the bleeding of our federal budget via Trump’s billionaire tax carveouts, and the continued sealing of the Epstein files — go ignored. And the best use of a Senate recess is alien fan fiction? Let me be blunt: we are watching the collapse of institutional credibility in real time. Vance and his MAGA enablers are not interested in solving problems — they’re interested in headlines, distractions, and keeping the public entertained while corruption goes unchecked. Congress must treat this for what it is: a grotesque misuse of time and taxpayer dollars. Either rein him in, or admit that this government has officially lost the plot.
