With the state of our politics right now, you’re probably more likely to think of words like liar, hypocrite or even criminal. Members of Congress on both sides have had major #MeToo reckonings in 2018. Politicians are politicians, and even the ones who seem most reliable will change their positions on any issue depending on where the wind blows. It was a rousing defense of conservative values and a non-endorsement of Trump that angered the Trump campaign and much of Cruz’s base. With Trump in office, the rest of the Republican delegation in Washington seems to have followed Cruz’s lead. But tariffs are—by definition—taxes on Americans. There is one Republican senator, however, who has been setting the example for how to handle Trump and how to be a faithful public servant. “Donald Trump became the first major party nominee in modern American history to not release his tax returns,” Sasse explained. The next bill would prevent members of Congress from trading stocks while in office. “Members of Congress are supposed to do what’s best for their constituents,” Sasse said, “not their 401K.” 5.

By the time I headed to college, the countries and reputations were well on their way to being destroyed. Thus far, the politics of the 2018 midterms and the looming 2020 presidential primary are filled with some of the same big ideas. Sanders introduced a free college bill last year that was supported by Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, two likely 2020 presidential contenders, while a federal jobs guarantee has now been embraced by Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand, other likely 2020 candidates. The universe of the politically possible seems to be expanding. Voters’ increasing tribalism might be fueling this era of big ideas. In 2018, 53 percent preferred politicians who stuck to their guns, a radical change from 2017, when only 39 percent said they felt the same. A recent Pew survey showed that most of the president’s supporters prefer his approach to the job of the presidency over his actual policies. … This is a crucial part of any health care plan, and in the Sanders proposal, it is notably absent.” (A recent study found that the plan would cost the government $33 trillion, though Sanders said the same study showed that his proposal would actually save $2 trillion in overall health care spending.) Perhaps the most galvanizing issue of the last few months for Democrats has been the movement to eliminate the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, a reaction in large part to the Trump administration’s policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the border. When you don’t deliver, it will make people even more cynical about government,” she wrote.

Bob Woodward’s new book and the anonymous op-ed by a senior official have merely confirmed, albeit in hair-raising new detail, the long obvious: Mr Trump is so blatantly unfit to be president that those who work for him ignore or thwart his orders. His ability to maintain his position could yet depend on the other individual in the spotlight: Brett Kavanaugh. That was by design. What we did learn, despite a process legal scholars have described as unprecedented in its “hurried and defective” nature, came largely thanks to disclosures by the Democratic committee member Cory Booker and a leak to media. It was in essence confirmatory rather than revelatory. It will put conservatives in firm and likely long-term control of the supreme court, endangering both voting and abortion rights, and incidentally putting it out of step with public opinion. And despite disingenuous attempts to blur his position on abortion law, Planned Parenthood said: “We already know how Brett Kavanaugh would rule on Roe v Wade, because the president told us so.” As a candidate, Mr Trump vowed to appoint supreme court justices who would overturn the landmark abortion ruling. And it is critical in maintaining his position now. The real issue is not individuals, but the rottenness of those backing them. We did not need the last week to tell us that Mr Kavanaugh is bad news on the supreme court and that Mr Trump is much more so in the White House.

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) warned Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and other democrats that there could be "consequences" for releasing emails related to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that were marked "committee confidential."
