I’m livid. There’s a certain type of Republican senator that drives normal people absolutely insane: RINOs. Republican In Name Only. They talk like conservatives back home. They campaign like fighters. They send emails about “protecting democracy” and “standing with the American people.” But when the moment actually arrives… when something real is on the line… they fold like a cheap lawn chair in a hurricane.

When Democrats can’t quite get across the finish line on their own, these are the Republicans who wander over and quietly hold the door open. And Senate Majority Leader John Thune knows this. John Thune didn’t stumble into this vote by accident. He... open.substack.com/pub/tonyseruga…
