on •I saw a quote from John Stewart earlier this week that has stuck with me:“The thing we have to be careful of, and I always caution myself on this and I ran into this trouble with Trump is we cannot mistake absurdity for lack of danger because it takes people with no shame to do shameful things.”He was commenting on the seemingly never-ending revelations of the depth of George Santos’ lies, but it feels to me like it applies to the Republican party as a whole. Since taking control of the House, ever action they’ve taken seems absurd, almost laughable, but of course it’s not. It’s deeply dangerous. It’ll take all of us, promoting the good work and policies that the Democrats are enacting, the better path they provide for the country, to make sure we’re in the best possible place as we head into 2024. All that said, here is some good news sprinkled with a shot of accountability, and as always, a handful of great editorial cartoons.
