Well, kind of like I said.

The Humbling of Margorie Taylor Greene
 

Just look at what has come to pass in the House in the past several days:
Mr. Johnson, a proud ultraconservative, pushed through a $95 billion foreign
aid package, including $60 billion for Ukraine, with more Democratic votes
than Republican ones. He is now counting on Democrats to save him from the
Greene-led extremists’ plan to defenestrate him and install yet another
Republican as speaker. There is much buzz about the emergence of a
bipartisan governing coalition in the House, albeit one born of desperation.
Squint hard, and Congress almost looks to be functioning as intended, with a
majority of members coming together to advance vital legislation. With her
special brand of MAGA extremism, Ms. Greene has shifted the House in a
bipartisan direction (at least for now) in exactly the way her base loathes.

Can I get two cheers for the art of the possible?!
