\nQuote – But he said a stronger push to retire had come from the direction of his party under Trump. \u201cIt\u2019s sitting back and saying, \u2018OK, what happens if I win again? I go back, probably Republicans will probably be in the majority. I\u2019m going to be fighting even harder \u2026 and I haven\u2019t seen any momentum in the party to move away from lies and towards truth.\u201d
\nClick through.<\/a> This is a pity, and if it lets a Trumpublican into Congress, t’s more than a pity. But at least he is not going away completely.<\/p>\n
\nQuote – [Matt Gaetz Tweet] If you can’t fantasize about blowing up useless metal detectors with @laurenboebert at a Florida Halloween political rally for @AnthonySabatini, when can you?

\nQuote – As I have noted in other recent posts, much of the recent \u2018news\u2019 about the insurrection has not been terribly new. It\u2019s repackaged versions of things we knew or additional evidence and detail. This story published last night in the Post is one of the biggest revelations I\u2019ve seen to date. John Eastman is the Federalist Society right wing law professor who wrote up the legal gloss for the President\u2019s coup plot. It created the connective tissue joining the coup plot within the government with the paramilitary violence that broke out on Capitol Hill on January 6th.
