あらすじ・解説
1. Government Shutdown Threat & the Rise of Elon Musk's Influence:
Crisis Trigger: A government shutdown is imminent due to a failure to pass a stopgap spending bill. A planned "kick the can down the road" measure until March was derailed at the last minute.
Musk's Intervention: Elon Musk, along with Vivek Ramaswamy (co-leaders of a "DOGE pseudo-department"), actively campaigned against the bill on eX-Twitter, using a barrage of tweets and misinformation.
2. Matt Gaetz Ethics Investigation and Defense:
Ethics Report Release: The House Ethics Committee, reversing a previous decision, is set to release a report on Matt Gaetz.
3. Presidential Approval Ratings and Future Outlook:
Low Approval Club: Joe Biden's approval rating is currently at 34%, a figure similar to those of Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump at the end of their presidencies.
4. Democratic Presidential Candidates for 2028
5. Legal Matters: Media Defense Fund and State Overreach
