president s side. so every time you expect people to sort of step back from politics and do something that is motivated not by political interests but national interests, a lot of times they ve been disappointed. it is amazing, bill we discussed mcconnell hasn t been brought to the floor. corker pushing a bill to curb what the president has been doing on tariffs and advance a traditional republican free trade view. that bill is not coming to the floor. the election integrity act that senator langhorn was pushing. also, to their credit, bipartisan, working with senator klobuchar on. so even these tentative baby steps i would say of trying to be bipartisan, trying to do things the president doesn t quite approve of, have all died in the senate. election integrity act doesn t have support. you start to worry a little bit. bill, i thought of you when i read our friend, susan glasser who writes at the new yorker , a very simple tweet tonight. she just said, no doubt what this u.n. spe
