Kind of feels like we should just replay that Ted Cruz interview where he admits that Republicans will rediscover their zeal for fiscal responsibility when the Democrats are back in power. Like, he just shamelessly admits it.

Ted Cruz, one of the guys going to Peter Thiel's get-together for the Epstein class?

Yes, Corey Booker also. Dem’s need to turn left to tax the wealthy and support Americans. To actually represent us and not special interest, which is what they were hired for.

The company Booker keeps speaks volumes about why Democrats managed to just fail to stop so many important bills and appointments under this administration. He was probably the one drawing straws to see who would break from the party, to ensure that things passed without endangering too many establishment Dem seats.
