  • An interview with tech writer Gil Duran about why Marjorie Taylor Greene's collaboration with Elon Musk on massive spending cuts could evolve into a real train wreck for Trump and the GOP.

The article from *The New Republic* discusses a leaked audio recording of a conversation between Georgia Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rich McCormick, where Greene expresses her frustration with the GOP's handling of the debt ceiling negotiations. In the recording, Greene criticizes Speaker Kevin McCarthy for not pushing for more conservative demands, particularly regarding spending cuts, and hints at her potential opposition to McCarthy's leadership.

The article suggests that Greene's actions could lead to further division and instability within the GOP, as she positions herself as a key figure in the party's more extreme wing.
