1. Republican lawmakers better grow some steel balls today.

Otherwise, they will have to vote every and any way Musk tells them for the next two years. Even when damaging the lives of their constituents who gave them their vote last month.

The "I'll primary you" threat will be a Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads for just about everything.

According to Liz Cheney's book, of the 10 House Republicans who voted "yes" on impeachment, only 2 made it back to the next Congress.
