I think nobody actually thinks that's good for our republic or good for public policy.
And so we should be building that coalition to change it because it's doing so much damage.
Well, I think that the president's conduct within, I don't know, the first days or hours of his swearing in this term exceeded expectations.

multiple impeachable offenses.
People speculate about the political wisdom of it and so on and so forth.
But like just taking a step back, whether it's this or just the necessity of oversight and investigations, there does have to be accountability for misconduct just as a governance question.
And I don't think that the choice is between economic policies in the
exposing wrongdoing and ensuring there's accountability for it on the other.
I think both of those things are necessary.
