Continuing to process Washington debates of this sort primarily through the prism of “Democrat v. Republican” or even “left v. right” is a sure ticket to the destruction of core rights.

This New War on Terror is domestic in name from the start and carries the explicit purpose of fighting “extremists” and “domestic terrorists” among American citizens on U.S. soil, and thus presents the whole slew of historically familiar dangers.

An alliance of the most left-wing members of the Congress (the Squad and others) standing unified with right-wing members in defense of civil liberties — blocking a new War on Terror from Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, CIA/FBI & friends — is like political ecstacy to me.
