1. I think this will do it. I think you've finally convinced the Liberals and the Media Party to like you. I hear @rosiebarton and the CBC will now drop her lawsuit against you.
This is the seventh day in a row you have danced to their tune. Do you not have one of your own?

More from Government
This is a good piece on fissures within the GOP but I think it mischaracterizes the Trump presidency as โpopulistโ & repeats a story about how conservatives & the GOP expelled the far-right in the mid-1960s that is actually far more complicated. /1
I donโt think the sharp opposition between โhard-edge populismโ & โconservative orthodoxyโ holds. Many of the Trump administrationโs achievements were boilerplate conservatism. Its own website trumpets things like โmassive deregulation,โ tax cuts, etc. /2

The claim that Buckley and โkey GOP politicians banded together to marginalize anti-Communist extremism and conspiracy-mongeringโ of the JBS has been widely repeated lately but the history is more complicated. /3
This tweet by @ThePlumLineGS citing a paper by @sam_rosenfeld and @daschloz on the "porous" boundary between conservatives, the GOP and the far-right is relevant in this context.
This is a separate point but I find it interesting that Gaetz, like Roy Moore did In his failed Senate campaign, disses McConnell. What are their actual policy differences? MM supported taking health care away from millions, a tax cut for the rich, conservative judges, etc. /5

There's a great paper called "The Long New Right" that tells the story of the GOP/conservative movement's failure to police extremists for the last 50 years.

It's highly relevant to the insurrection and Marjorie Greene's lunacy.
