If you ever use the expression "moderate Republican" relating to the U.S. House of Representatives, you should realize that you are dealing in misinformation.

EVERY Republican in the House voted -- despite zero evidence turned up after endless "investigations" by hyper-partisans -- to move the Biden impeachment "inquiry" forward.

After the "vermin" debacle at the NYT, I sensed a tonal switch at WaPo, which I hope and pray will be permanent, from covering Trump as a plausible future president to covering him as a dangerous demagogue. https://presswatchers.org/2023/11/did-vermin-mark-a-turning-point-in-trump-coverage/

Direct line from Reagan killing the air traffic controller’s strike in the 80s to dangerous conditions today.

While I don't expect Clarence Thomas to suffer any consequences of his corruption, I take pleasure in knowing he's deeply uncomfortable at the attention and dreads even more revelations. Surely he can't be sleeping as well as he was a year ago.
