Jun 26, 2026 The Lincoln Project Podcast
Trump barged into the Senate this week to throw his weight around and instead came UNGLUED on national television. This week's Elephant in the Room is the meltdown for the history books: Trump SCREAMING in Bill Cassidy's face, raging at his own Republicans over Iran, melting down in front of the very cowards who used to grovel at his feet. Rick Wilson torches the whole spectacle because this wasn't a stumble, it was a strongman COLLAPSING in real time. The bully act only works while the room is scared, and the Senate just watched the fear EVAPORATE. The long knives are out. MAGA is cannibalizing itself. The 2026 succession war has gone fully NUCLEAR. When the king starts shrieking at his own court, the court starts digging the grave and Rick brought a shovel. This is the beginning of the end, and it could not be sweeter.

And once and for all rip open the Epstein files and start arresting the billionaires behind it.

(4,123 posts)As the video and many news sources have been pointing out lately, self preservation may win out over full on corruption. These people are cowards at their core and the entire apparatus is being run like a straight up mob. The underlings will feel the heat first and when they begin to turn in order to protect themselves (which some always do), like a loose thread being pulled, it will begin to unravel. SCOTUS has 0 prosecutorial powers so IF we win in Nov we can really get the stove cranking and counter their "slinging tons of BS at the wall" they can't keep up Roy Cohn philosophy right back on them. And IF we can get control in 28, FatAss can't or wouldn't even know who to pardon down the ladder. It's that low hanging fruit that will blow this up for them and it's already showing signs of happening IMHO
