Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the Republican Party was former President Donald Trump’s party, which meant it lacks “reason.” When asked why Senate Republicans are not backing President Joe Biden’s coronavirus package, Brown said, “Well, the Washington elite are doing — it’s become a Trump party. It’s not a party of reason. It’s a party that has turned its back.” He added, “Mitch McConnell continued to say he sees no sense of urgency. The Republicans failed. They failed for ten years.

(CNN) "There are men of character in the U.S. Congress, both House and Senate. There are women of character, too. But the evidence for 'character' needs to be something other than the iteration of the word itself," writes Marjorie Garber in her book "Character: The History of a Cultural Obsession." That is a useful frame for trying to make sense of the dramas that proliferated on Capitol Hill this week as Congress took up multiple nominations to President Joe Biden's Cabinet and held its first hearing on the January 6 insurrection. As Garber notes, the translation of individual traits into a "national character" most often occurs at "times of stress, as a marker not so much of social progress as of social and cultural anxiety."
