WASHINGTON — House Republicans, facing a storm of bipartisan criticism, including from President-elect Donald J. Trump, moved early Tuesday afternoon to reverse their plan to kill the Office of Congressional Ethics. It was an embarrassing turnabout on the first day of business for the new Congress, a day when party leaders were hoping for a show of force to reverse policies of the Obama administration.

I'm still not sure whether this is a wise use of political capital. The optics are surely on the Dems and Trump's side on this one, but the realities of the organization, I'm not so sure.

You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Towers. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying stripes of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway." T Durden

You're such a Trump ball washer.

I am seeing commentary that the representatives were inundated with phone calls and emails from their constituents telling them not to make this change.

I think plan B for the republicans will now be to say mean things about babies.
