And what happened today breaks my heart, too. It was excruciating to watch, certainly humiliating for this country a lot more than was for President Zelenskyy, and this happened in front of the entire world. 
And after what we saw and Rachel documented, the Republicans are just hopeless. They're incapable of being humiliated, too - Graham and Wicker who Rachel exposed would rather make fools of themselves by doing a 180 on Zelenskyy in the same day than go against TFG, that's how bad that it's gotten. And I can remember when Democrats and Republicans could work together, too. My Dad was friendly with a lot of local officials regardless of party, but these days it's become so partisan that even neighbors and families can't get along.
And I sure agree that 2026 is unimaginably way too far away. Just this last month - hell, every day in the past month - has been excruciating. And it's become fairly obvious that Republicans care much more about what TFG thinks rather than their constituents. I've been stuck with one of those for the past few years - Stefanik. And she's not only incapable of being humiliated and only answers to a constituent of one - TFG - rather than the constituents in her district. And now she's been rewarded for her "loyalty" by TFG, being given a more high profile job.
So I don't have the answers, I'm still reeling from what we all saw today. Maybe the Town Halls will help if those in Congress learn that unless they change their "loyalties" they won't be reelected. But as you said, those are way too far off, each day has turned into a trauma. And I no longer have a congressperson to pressure, not that she'd listen, anyway. We're going to have a Special Election at some point, or maybe not until November - if we make it that long.
