It’s been less than a week, and whew! Everything’s unraveling at breakneck speed—can’t help but wonder what chaos next week will bring.

Looks like the folks at #TheWeekend are feeling it too.

Schiff: "When Mike Johnson's state was hit by Katrina, I fought to get aid ... California has given more to the recovery of other states than any other state in the union. You do not want to go down this road."
