Nah. I'm pretty well convinced a number of other Republicans could behave like this and the press wouldn't care.

Sadly, this one involves burning the testicles of actual living monkeys, and not merely engaging in private pleasures

Just a reminder of who he is:

The article explicitly talks about lifting that cap:

Raising the cap that way — taxing affluent people more and everyone else less — would reduce the 3.5-point tax increase needed to fully fund Social Security to as little as 2.45 points, the Social Security system estimated.

Tell the world how much of a tool she is, and create an environment where she experiences social pressure.

Key difference: a major failure at the nuclear reactor is can kill people across a large area.

Taking out refineries is going to raise the cost of gas, and lower the value of oil, resulting in both a cut to drilling and to burning, which is a net benefit for people.

Per the article:

There's evidence some Proud Boys are decamping to neo-Nazi groups. I'd argue that the Proud Boys are impacted by the same forces that are causing Moms for Liberty to falter. Republicans bet big into 2022 on far-right groups, but instead, the GOP underperformed in the 2022 and 2023 elections. The backfire effect is reducing enthusiasm for this new breed of culture warriors.
