'Elon Musk is right'
to criticize spending bill
says House Republican
who voted for spending bill
Representative Scott Perry,
a Pennsylvania Republican and member of the far-right House Freedom caucus,
just seconded Elon Musk’s criticism of the massive spending bill
that passed the House by a single vote
as “a disgusting abomination”
and added that the billionaire Republican donor
“is right to call out House Leadership”.

Statement by YDS Dean Greg Sterling.
-----
We are relieved that two members of the YDS community, Rev. William Barber and Rev. Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, are safe and unharmed following their arrest while praying in the Capitol Rotunda yesterday. We applaud them for their courage in standing up for Christian values and doing so in accordance with the venerable tradition of nonviolent action.

If you look at my feed at all, you will see I am far from a "Republican"
If one watches PBS Newshour with any critical media literacy their drift to the right is clear. They are always doing the "both sides", treating Trump and his Reublican minons as normal, etc. But the Republicans (who I am definitely not one of) have been working on this since Reagan and they really got going in 2005 https://www.democracynow.org/2005/5/12/a_right_wing_coup_at_pbs
