The worst thing so far is the seeming empowerment of the Maga congressmembers. But imagine the house speakership being essentially held hostage in a year when there was a pres. election with "iffy" results.

We are vulnerable as the idiocy continues...
Let's hope this is remembered by the voters in 2024.
