After his (or Paul Ryan's?) healthcare bill was pronounced dead last Friday, many politicos and pundits began openly wondering if President Trump's entire agenda was already on life-support, mere months into his presidency.

Hospital puns and apocalyptic rhetoric aside, the question remains: is Trump's first major legislative failure a harbinger of political paralysis to come? Given this major blow and Republican infighting, can Congress pass anything meaningful? And what of the fate of the filibuster?

In a new weekly segment we're calling Swamp Talk, Eurasia Group's U.S. Practice head Jon Lieber weighs in and takes some questions from the Facebook masses.
