Wall Street Journal: “Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) won’t be a U.S. senator after Jan. 3, 2027. But, for the next seven months, he will be a member of the swelling YOLO Caucus. YOLO, as in, You Only Live Once.”
“Lame-duck presidents and members of Congress can often be inconsequential, but this group of Republicans who have been cut loose by President Trump through primaries or retirements could wreak havoc…if they decide to.”
