Thank you for introducing me to the new meaning of "know intuitively". This is Mike Johnson's term for believing what you want to believe, regardless of factual information.

Why do these people in Congress uniformly lack spines? Obviously they are not in it for those they represent. I get so angry that a tiny group of people should use their power to impose on the rest of us. That is not democracy.

Well done with providing us with in depth critical reporting. As ever, I admire your work.

I hope at some point voters are going to get so fed up with Trump and the Freedom Caucus that they will all be voted out. The MAGA base is shrinking—or not getting larger. I just hope we can make adequate claims—with proof—in the event of a Trump loss—that they are full of it. If 2/3 of the country refuse to fall in with their nonsense, governance will be a problem. But the MAGA politicians should see the writing on the wall and rearrange their views in accordance with their self interest. Save Our Souls.
