How Republicans Castrated Themselves

“Never before has the party in control of the House of Representatives knowingly and willingly castrated its own power so thoroughly as today’s Republicans,” Axios reports.

“Republicans blew years of potential authority by weak leaders surrendering to keep power. So with a razor-thin GOP majority, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had to depend on Democrats to muscle through the $60 billion Ukraine bill over the weekend.”

Said a former member of GOP leadership: “The structural changes they made, made the place ungovernable. When you give this many nihilists … this kind of leverage, this is what’s going to happen and it was just a matter of time.”
