Are Sane Republicans Making a Comeback?

It’s always darkest just before dawn, a proverb that says when times are at their worst they will soon get better. Current events bear that out.
The GOP-led Texas legislature voted to impeach the state’s Attorney General Ken Paxton on corruption charges. President Joe Biden reached a debt ceiling deal with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
These are outcomes that demonstrate even the most MAGA Republicans have a limit; politics can change on a dime, and Biden’s half-century of experience taught him how to find that dime. It’s why we elected him, even if we don’t love him.
