NEW: Vice President JD Vance is desperate to save himself from the blue wave—even if that means letting President Donald Trump drown. newrepublic.com/post/217580/…
Establishment Democrats need to ante up. It's time to go after Trump and his Cabinet. This isn't about getting even. It's about lawfully rooting out authoritarians based on their blatant lawlessness and corruption.
Democrats cannot frame pursuing Trump and his cronies' impeachments as "getting even" and not a priority for voters --- Democrats have no reason to be the party that allows the fascists to walk away unscathed after their blatant corruption and lawlessness

Republicans aren't just going to have to deal with the aftermath of a historic midterm defeat. They are going to have to deal with a problem that we have never seen in American political history. Trump is not going to let his party move on.
