Let me just say it plainly: we bullied congress relentlessly over releasing the Gaetz report, and it scared Gaetz off. When we show up, when we call out, when we refuse to let these absurdities fly under the radar, it makes a difference. Every email, every phone call, every snarky tweet—it all adds up.

While everyone’s melting down about the cabinet picks of a fascist, congress continues its greatest hits album of 'Why Are We Like This?' Moments. South Carolina’s own Nancy Mace decided her personal Look at Me tour needed a pit stop at the intersection of Bad Ideas and Manufactured Outrage.
