“I didn’t love the idea of protecting pedophiles, but it was ultimately the right thing to do,” explained the Republican, “because that was the only way I could hurt the economy, get secret police tear-gassing kids, end Constitutional democracy, and pocket some cash while I’m at it.

Lol. I dont subscribe to WSJ anymore, but come on man. Republicans trashed the fillibuster in September. What is this "never" nonsense?
A growing number of GOP lawmakers say their party should kill or change the filibuster to end the government shutdown, which is approaching a full month.
Shutdown Challenges Republicans’ Vow to Never End the Filibuster
GOP senators gave their word to protect the 60-vote rule. ‘I’m praying to God they keep it,’ says former Sen. Joe Manchin.

If you are a Texan being investigated for your connections to "radical leftist" groups, I am interested in representing you against harassment by Ken Paxton's office.
Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.
