At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

These people all have actual conflicts of interest that should keep them from working on any investigations like this. It's a measure of how tainted and corrupt this Justice Department is becoming and it breaks my heart. I hope it doesn't break our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Dear President Trump: I’m a lawyer who worked for the government and fought for abused children as a prosecutor making a pittance of what my peers were making in corporate America. I never asked for repayment from my victims. Why are you asking Ukraine for payment for protecting them from tyranny?
