DEMOCRACY WEEKENDER: Trump's bromance with pedophile Epstein & his indifference to consumers' anxieties about "affordability" sink his poll ratings; and Rep. Grijalva comes to Washington
Democrats's bad week saw infighting after eight senators caved and voted with GOP to end the longest-ever government shutdown. Democracy Partners' Mike Lux writes how "DC Moderate" may not be moderate

No doubt, this last week was a really bad one for Trump (at least until Friday night when #MTG announced her departure from the House in January, because of Trump.) open.substack.com/pub/democrac...
DEMOCRACY WEEKENDER: Trump threatens 6 Dems with death penalty, then retracts the death part; he signs law he once opposed to release Epstein files; MTG to leave House after Trump calls her a traitor
Underscoring Trump's behavior this week, besides publicly criticizing women, is his penchant for authoritarianism that becomes increasingly obvious.

DEMOCRACY WEEKENDER: Like the dummy Charlie McCarthy, GOP lawmakers only mouth the words and lies spoken by their boss.
The government shutdown shows the fiasco that is the GOP-led Congress, marching in lock-step to Trump's orders, while echoing false charges against undocumented immigrants to rile up Trump's base.
