It is genuinely difficult to articulate the scale of moral depravity that now defines the Republican Party. And I’m not merely referring to the MAGA base—though at this point, the distinction has become largely academic. The so-called moderates within the Republican House and Senate caucuses have demonstrated no meaningful objection to systematic cruelty, cheerfully voting to allocate $150 billion to transform ICE into the largest domestic police force in American history even as it engages in documented constitutional violations on an industrial scale.
