Easy to focus on how senator uses abusive language on public servant OR how he embarrasses himself by accusing public servant of perjury due to senator's own stupidity. But important to note that all senator cares about is FoxNews/X clip around subpoenas that most Americans rightly don't care about.

If Trumpism wasn't the logical endpoint of Reagan / Bush, it would not have done nearly as much damage, because it would have been halted by all those federal judges and justices who came of age under (or were literally appointed by) Reagan / Bush. Instead, they happily accelerated it.
