GOPâs refusal to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is a continuation of Jan. 6 and GOPâs rejection of democracy. This is not just about blocking the release of the Jeffrey Epstein file. It's also about GOP becoming increasingly hostile to democracy

We're running a piece on this today that I'll link to when it goes live. But it occurs to me that the GWB admin ran roughshod over the UN in the runup to the Iraq invasion, but learned to greatly appreciate its value when the subsequent occupation went south. I wonder if we won't see that here.
